4/ "They advised "not sitting" for a week and "doing massages." The volume was created using polyacrylamide gel, which is now banned in some countries. Due to its unpredictable consequences, this material was nicknamed a "time bomb."

Meaning what you're watching here, a microcolony of N. gonorrhoeae retracting polyacrylamide columns with T4P bundles, is a feat of strength ~equal to a human casually bending a steel girder.

So what, right? A very strong but very tiny bacteria.

But what if we could USE these tiny cables...

someone in the lab needs to use the PrepCell and apparently i am the last person to have used it 🙃. Needless to say there is a lot of sceptisism. But i have the receipts! Had to explain about degassing polyacrylamide, and analog recorders! lets see whether we can get this puppy to work.

Why do intrinsically disordered proteins behave so weirdly during SDS-PAGE? This is the question we aim to answer in our recent paper:

Sequence determinants of the hypomobility of intrinsically disordered proteins in <fc>SDS</fc>‐<fc>PAGE</fc>
Proteins with intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) migrate at a higher apparent molecular weight in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, complicating their analysis and...

🌱 From the International Journal of Molecular Sciences: Walnut reveals melanin as a redox defense system. Dual PPO enzymes turn phenolic oxidation into protective pigment, linking metabolism and stress resilience. (Abhaya M. Dandekar, Sriema L. Walawage)

Staining of human skin through contact with wounded walnut tissues (left) and PPO activity assays from hull tissues (right). The juices from the disrupted walnut hull tissues will stain human skin (left), a hallmark of manual walnut hull removal, which is minimally removed by washing and only reverts to normal by replacement with new skin cells. The same reaction is observed on native polyacrylamide gels (right) when assaying for PPO activity. Total protein (10 μg) extracted from hull tissues is used for in-gel tyrosinase staining and was the means by which JrPPO1 was originally discovered. Lane A shows the pure mushroom tyrosinase control, while lanes B and C show extracts from the hull epidermal tissue and cortical tissue, respectively.

Polyacrylamide-based chemicals are highly effective, synthetic, high-molecular-weight polymers used in flocculation tests to aggregate small, suspended particles into larger, heavier clusters called flocs. This is how it works.

Tension-free vaginal tape has been the standard treatment for female stress urinary incontinence. Transurethral injection of polyacrylamide hydrogel is an alternative. In NEJM Evidence, Freitas and colleagues report on 5-year follow-up of a trial comparing the two. eviden.cc/4j7weWm

it kinda reminds me of polyacrylamide gels i've seen... although honestly i think most of these goops look very similar anyway

Dreamt ai exterminated us. It Co-opted all our devices including childrens' toys. Turned off all the leds so we couldn't see them coming in the dark. It made cars crash into lakes and ponds and immediately added polyacrylamide so the water jellified and no one could swim up #lastnightsdream

A photograph of a precast SDS-polyacrylamide gel submerged in buffer in an electrophoresis chamber. The chamber takes up the whole frame, the top of the buffer bisects the image horizontally about halfway down. At the back of the chamber the gel cassette can be seen, with an even horizontal assembly of sharp blue dye lines, the loading dye migrating through the gel. Tiny bubbles from the electric current fill the cassette behind the gel, making the buffer translucent.

🧪 From day one in the lab, we learn that agarose is used to separate DNA and polyacrylamide is for proteins. But have you ever wondered why? 🤔
