Diaa replied to the topic What is Activity based protein profiling? in the forum Discussion https://bioinformaticshub.net/forums/topic/what-is-activity-based-protein-profiling/#post-4163 Tue, 18 Mar 2025 08:52:25 +0000 Activity-based proteomics, or activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) is a functional proteomic technology that uses chemical probes that react with mechanistically related classes of enzymes.

The basic unit of ABPP is the probe, which typically consists of two elements: a reactive group (RG, sometimes called a “warhead”) and a tag. The reactive…Read more

Diaa replied to the topic What is the difference between gene knockout and gene knockdown? in the forum Discussion https://bioinformaticshub.net/forums/topic/what-is-the-difference-between-gene-knockout-and-gene-knockdown/#post-2905 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 14:20:36 +0000 The two techniques: gene knockout and knockdown, are methods to investigate the functions of different genes. Gene knockout completely makes the gene inoperative while gene knockdown silences the gene of interest. However, both procedures prevent the gene expression. Different agents are capable of accomplishing these two processes. Gene knockout…Read more

Diaa replied to the topic What are transposons, transposases, and transposomes? in the forum Discussion https://bioinformaticshub.net/forums/topic/what-are-transposons-transposases-and-transposomes/#post-2662 Sun, 05 Feb 2023 15:26:50 +0000 Transposable elements (TEs) or transposons are defined as DNA sequences that are able to move from one location to another in the genome. TEs have been identified in all organisms, prokaryotic and eukaryotic, and can occupy a high proportion of a species’ genome. For example, transposable elements comprise approximately 10% of several fish s…Read more
