MESO "Specialized" Testing Group Fund

Come on @Ghoul . This is your chance to show that you really care about science and the community. Don't be silent now.

Don't worry bro, he will be her shortly. I used the summoning words

No, only some of the outsourced tests. We've not found a replacement yet.
Thank you for the update. I appreciate your partnership as we try to identify competent labs to help answer some of these outstanding questions.
 
How much do we need to run this? Let's get the funds and do it quick while we still can.
If the group decides CD is worthwhile then fyi:
The price Jano quoted me was 400 USD for a pair wise comparison with CD and 600 USD for 3 samples. He stated this was no markup on his part with outside lab. I want to speak with this lab first if we go with CD to confirm near vs far UV and make sure it isn't a mess like the oil based endotoxin analyses.
Unsure if we have time logistically with this new info.

I'm excited to see what the group prioritizes and decides.

@Sampei
What crypto currency do you recommend for the fund? Security/privacy vs lowest barrier to participation.
 
While we are fundraising and summoning...

Let's find out the price of the test and use that as a the fundraising goal?
See post #28 if you are referring to CD test.

I don't have lab options for the bioassays yet. Hopefully we can get there.

Maybe an option?
I haven't reached out to the PI on the study:

Okay. I guess a CD analysis is close enough for what we want to know. Would it also detect folding? It still won't definetively say how the HGH will bind with receptors would it?

Properly done CD will give us info on secondary and perhaps tertiary structure of the GH. Hard to say without taking with lab about their capability.

We would need a bioassay to qualify IU/mg (aka bioactivity). My original hallucination was doing (1) CD and (2) bioassay to compare UG samples vs Pharma control (e.g., Serostim).

Super wish list ---> (3) Host cell protein comparison between UG and Pharma.

Practical? Probably not.

@AlexDavis43 is probably right that (2) and (3) enters into expensive CRO (contract research org) territory.

Regardless, just laying out tests that would help answer some of the historical unaswered questions.

The Anfinsen Dogma: Intriguing Details Sixty-Five Years Later


Abstract
The pioneering experiments of Anfinsen on the oxidative folding of RNase have been revisited discovering some details, which update the statement of his dogma and shed new light on the leading role of the correct disulfide in the attainment of the native structure. CD analysis, mass spectrometry, fluorescence spectroscopy and enzyme activity indicate that native disulfides drive the formation of the secondary and tertiary structures that cannot be entirely formed in their absence. This opposes a common opinion that these structures are first formed and then stabilized by the native disulfides. Our results also indicate that a spontaneous re-oxidation of a reduced RNase cannot produce a complete recovery of activity, as described by many textbooks; this can be obtained only in the presence of a reshuffling solution such as GSH/GSSG
