Description

Ribosomal Protein L38 is a specific protein component of the large ribosomal subunit, essential for protein biosynthesis. This high-purity biochemical is critical for advanced life science research, particularly in studies of ribosome structure, function, and assembly. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and biotechnology companies focused on molecular biology, structural biology, and the development of novel antibiotics.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a key reagent in studies investigating ribosome assembly, structure, and the molecular mechanisms of protein synthesis.
• Proteomics & Structural Biology: Serves as a standard or component in mass spectrometry analysis, X-ray crystallography, and cryo-electron microscopy for ribosomal complex mapping.
• Antibiotic Development: Employed in target-based screening and mechanistic studies for developing new antimicrobial agents that inhibit bacterial protein synthesis.
• Enzyme & Protein Interaction Studies: Used to investigate protein-protein interactions within the ribosomal machinery and with associated translation factors.
• Diagnostic Kit Development: May be utilized as a purified antigen or component in the development of research-grade immunoassays.
• Cell Biology Research: Applied in studies exploring ribosome biogenesis defects and their links to cellular stress responses and disease.

Quality Control

Our Ribosomal Protein L38 is produced and handled under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high biological activity. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including electrophoresis and spectroscopic methods. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and biological activity is provided with each shipment to support your research integrity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be allowed to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake. Aliquot into single-use vials to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
