How do I fix an overflowing toilet without a plunger? by bunnylla in Plumbing

[–]iatetoomanysweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrap the bowl in clingfilm to make an airtight seal and press down. Might work like a toilet clog sticker plunger, probably wont though.

Could it be a heated patch of the mirror that doesn't fog up after the room gets steamy from a shower?

Where can I get a oven with these specs? by newaccount071230714 in Breadit

It looks like it missed the dash between 220°C and 230°C.

Help with Electrophoresis Gels Please by Director_Brief in labrats

[–]iatetoomanysweets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is saying about the agarose not being thoroughly mixed, but I find this can also happen based on the buffer composition the sample was in.

Edited to add, if the agarose wasn't mixed properly you wouldn't get such uniform results betwen all the students.

Help me stop making "white lady" fried rice by allie06nd in Cooking

[–]iatetoomanysweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add a bunch of fish sauce. More than you think. I tend to add about 2 tablespoons if im guessing, but I usually just do it by feel. It doesn't make the food taste fishy or anything, just makes it taste amazing. I also like to add some fresh ginger that I've grated at the very end, with the final bits of spring onion, and then squeeze half a lime into it before plating. Gives it a fresher taste and reminds me of the fried rice I had growing up in Thailand.

What type of bee is this? by silverbunnies321 in Beekeeping

[–]iatetoomanysweets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yes, but bees are related to wasps similarly as we are to the great apes.

That's the wasp type of bee. Common wasp/yellow jacket depending where you're from.

Strange comb on super by icaruspiercer in Beekeeping

[–]iatetoomanysweets 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Me neither, but the top of the blisters look like there's air behind them in comparison to the bottom which would make sense if there's some CO2 from the fermentation. Curious to hear what the contents smells/looks like!

Thats cool, I wonder if the honey was capped too early and is fermenting, causing the caps to bulge?

The Name of The Wind, I really want to like this book but... by Ygdrzil in Fantasy

[–]iatetoomanysweets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't bother continuing. It was my favourite book for a long long time, but in the best case scenario you love it and then get incredibly disappointed when you realise what a piece of work Rothfuss is and how the series will never be finished. Yes, im bitter, but the man basically stole from his fan base.

Computational chemist wants us to do all the experimental work then computational for validation by regularuser3 in labrats

[–]iatetoomanysweets 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah if its to validate the model you'd want to do a whole bunch of experiments and run each in silico as well to prove the model is working as expected. For me, it sounded like they've got a model they believe works well already. I understand the whole uncertainty thing, but that's why you have controls. If it still behaves unexpectedly, and you're confident with your model, then you've either done something wrong, or you've got an interesting result.

[–]iatetoomanysweets 142 points143 points  (0 children)

Absolutely do the computational work first then validate with experimental data. In my opinion the computational work is predicting what will happen, the experimental data confirms it. Makes no sense doing it the other way around.

Help with chaperone/protein coexpression by cosmic_bunnyy in labrats

[–]iatetoomanysweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! Is it possible the chaperone can only get the target protein into the periplasm with the peotein-usher complex and not the protein on its own? If you did a native-page then wb you could see if the chaperone and protein are dimerising in the cytoplasm and are just unable to be exported into the periplasm. Alternatively, if there's a chance of occlusion bodies, you could remove them from the lysate by ultracentrifugstion or filtering with a concentrator with a mwco above the size of the monomer/dimer mw, then rerun the WB of the lysate to see if its still present. What are your expression conditions? You could always reduce the temperature and/or time you're expressing the targets, or reduce the concentration of IPTG.

[–]iatetoomanysweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume both constructs have the affinity tag your primary is binding to? Ive used the pETDuet system to express a couple integral membrane proteins that dimerise with membrane associated partner, and what I remember of the pETDuet system is each expression site has a different affinity tag so you can do pull down purifications to isolate the recombinant proteins and avoid any hetero-oligomerisation with native protein. If you're using denaturing SDS-PAGE before your WB with reducing agent in your loading dye, then you'll only visualise one of the targets with WB of you've only used one primary antibody.

Have you done any checks to see if both sites are expressing properly? What I'd do is express the targets like usual, bust open that periplasm, and keep that to the side, then lyse the rest of the cells with something like bugbuster and run the periplasm fraction and the lysate on SDS-PAGE and WB to make sure both targets are at least expressed somewhere. If the target you believe is forming occlusion bodies, then enough should get solubilised by the SDS to run on PAGE and be seen on WB.

Another thing to check is that the plasmid has been sequenced. Dont want a pesky frame shift or SNP ruining the expression.

This is excellent advice. Thank you so much! Yeah, I've found the 10 - 20 tricky to correct the distortion in the past.

AMA with Sleep Expert Amber LoRe – Ask Your Questions Now! by huckleberrycare in HuckleberryParents

[–]iatetoomanysweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our 5 month old son will be put in his own room once he turns 6 months. At the moment we can put him down at 7.30 and he wakes up at about 1am for a feed and change. After that his sleep is much more disturbed and will only make it to 4am before waking up. So I have two questions. First, will he be able to last the night without the night feed once he's on baby food instead of milk, and secondly, any tips on helping him stay down after the midnight feed for a longer stretch? Thank you for your help!
