OPTIMIZATION OF ITRAQ LABELLING COUPLED TO OFFGEL FRACTIONATION AS A PROTEOMIC WORKFLOW TO THE ANALYSIS OF MICROSOMAL PROTEINS OF MEDICAGO TRUNCATULA ROOTS

Optimization of iTRAQ labelling coupled to OFFGEL fractionation as a proteomic workflow to the analysis of microsomal proteins of Medicago truncatula roots

Abstract Background Shotgun proteomics represents an attractive technical framework for the study of membrane proteins Grains that are generally difficult to resolve using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.The use of iTRAQ, a set of amine-specific isobaric tags, is currently the labelling method of choice allowing multiplexing of up to eight samp

Public perceptions of Lyme disease and climate change in southern Manitoba, Canada: making a case for strategic decoupling of climate and health messages

Abstract Background Despite scientific evidence that climate change has profound and far reaching implications for public health, translating this knowledge in a manner that supports citizen engagement, applied decision-making, and behavioural change can be challenging.This is especially true for complex vector-borne zoonotic diseases such as Lyme
