  • Studying Enzyme Activity with Zymography

    In one of my previous posts, I talked about immunostaining and touched on the principles and procedures of Western blotting, a technique that is widely used to quantify protein expression. Now, I’m going to shift gears and talk about another powerful molecular tool that is often used in research labs: zymography. Distinct from Western blotting,…

    Recently, I’ve been working as a research assistant in a lab and finally came across the technique of Western blot. I didn’t have any training on this technique because I didn’t take molecular biology lab in my undergraduate career, so I had to learn it on the spot. I decided to write this post as…
