I need a molecular biologist
    #18998343 - 10/19/13 02:00 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Yeah yeah I know its not pubscum topic but le pube owns other boards in terms of traffic.

Anyway my question is about protein blotting. Y'all know what western blotting does but my retarded supervisor said there is no eastern blotting. He said that because he has read like 2-3 textbooks for our lectures and doesn't mention it cause its not mentioned there :facepalm: (he's a real dick too)

Anyway if eastern blots are used to detect post-translational modifications like acetylation, acylation (myristoylation, palmitoylation), alkylation, arginylation, ADP-Ribosylation, biotinylation, formylation, geranylgeranylation, glutamylation, glycosylation, glycylation, hydroxylation, isoprenylation, lipoylation, methylation, nitroalkylation, phosphopantetheinylation, phosphorylation, prenylation, selenation, S-nitrosylation, succinylation, sulfation, transglutamination, ubiquitination and so.

Wouldn't that make western blotting with anti-phosphosite antibodies essentially an eastern blot and not technically a western blot?

Don't western blots just read out the concentration of polypeptides within a certain length range? I suppose you could derive the same information from a western as from an eastern, but only under the right circumstances.

You could do that with a western yes if you integrate the pixels in terms of a 16 bit grayscale with respect to the membrane surface after development. The thing is I've used antiphospho antibodies and always called it a western blot, now I feel like I've been deluding myself with the nomenclature of these teks.

That is a "southern blot". :sadyes:
