Additional bands were added manually where the automatic detection had failed to detect faint bands. 1 mm background subtraction was applied. The percentage purity is quantified as (band intensity of protein of interest)/(sum of the band intensities from all bands in lane)×100. The lane profile was plotted by intensity.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
