Study of Protein Analysis Used to Perform Proteomic Profile for Young and Old Tadpoles in Regeneration Experiments
In this experiment we collected and analyzed tissue samples from young and old tadpoles. The tissue generated from this experiment will then be analyzed by means of a new technique used to obtain large amounts of protein information. The results of this experiment should show the types of proteins involved in the development process and, more importantly the regeneration process. This paper described the details of the procedures necessary to conduct this protein analysis, as well as describe some of the molecules that have already been found. Learning more about this process will benefit the scientific community by furthering the research on regeneration thus far as well as one day possibly impact the medical community.
