Biochip / microarray: small chip which can test thousands of samples and simultaneously store their data. High-performance liquid chromatography (hplc: assesses the molecular weight and purity of a peptide. Flow cytometry: identify / tag cells based on fluorescence by binding fluorescent antibodies to the cell"s surface proteins. Vaccine: any compound which increases production of antibodies or induces an immune response against itself. B-cells: wbcs which produce antibodies for a long term immunity. Viral / bacterial mutations: high mutation rates and multiple strains make some vaccinations obsolete often requiring annual or periodical replacements. Denaturation: damage of a protein"s structure / shape due to extreme environments to the point of dysfunction. Optimum ph: ph of environment where an enzyme functions most effectively. Optimum temperature: temperature of environment where an enzyme functions most effectively. Silver stain: most common protein stain, more expensive but more sensitive. Sickle cell identification: sickle cells can be identified based on their surface proteins composition to identify structural makeup.
