PROTEIN MEASUREMENT WITH THE FOLIN PHENOL REAGENT

OliverH. Lowry, NiraJ. Rosebrough, A. Farr et al. · 1 Nov 1951

Since 1922 when Wu proposed the use of the Folin phenol reagent for the measurement of proteins (l), a number of modified analytical procedures ut.ilizing this reagent have been reported for the determination of proteins in serum (2-G), in antigen-antibody precipitates (7-9), and in insulin (10).

A new generation of Ca2+ indicators with greatly improved fluorescence properties.

Grzegorz Grynkiewicz, Martin Poenie, Roger Y. Tsien · 1 Mar 1985

A new family of highly fluorescent indicators has been synthesized for biochemical studies of the physiological role of cytosolic free Ca2+. The compounds combine an 8-coordinate tetracarboxylate chelating site with stilbene chromophores. Incorporation of the ethylenic linkage of the stilbene into a heterocyclic ring enhances the quantum efficiency and photochemical stability of the fluorophore. Compared…

The Reliability of Molecular Weight Determinations by Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis

K. Weber, Mary Osborn · 1 Aug 1969

Forty proteins with polypeptide chains of well characterized molecular weights have been studied by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate following the procedure of Shapiro, Vinuela, and Maizel (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 28, 815 (1967)). When the electrophoretic mobilities were plotted against the logarithm of the known polypeptide chain molecular weights,…

High resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis of proteins.

Patrick H. O’Farrell · 1 May 1975

A technique has been developed for the separation of proteins by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Due to its resolution and sensitivity, this technique is a powerful tool for the analysis and detection of proteins from complex biological sources. Proteins are separated according to isoelectric point by isoelectric focusing in the first dimension, and according to…

Journal of Biological Chemistry template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Biological Chemistry format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Biological Chemistry template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Biological Chemistry use?
Journal of Biological Chemistry uses Numbered (Springer Basic) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C (2023) A representative article title. Journal of Biological Chemistry 12:45–58
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Biological Chemistry?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready Journal of Biological Chemistry document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Biological Chemistry template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Biological Chemistry format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Journal of Biological Chemistry?
Journal publishing biological chemistry research. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by Springer Nature.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Biological Chemistry PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Biological Chemistry template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Springer Nature, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Biological Chemistry template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Biological Chemistry template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Biological Chemistry PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
