Other stains, such as Congo red and thioflavin, also bound to this amyloid protein material.

It does not appear to damage the equipment, but like other aldehydes it can stain and cross-link protein material.

The processes of this invention utilize vapor diffusion means to alter buffer conditions, thus minimizing the volume of test samples and thereby conserving protein material.

They inhibit the biosynthesis of bacterial DNA, interfere with chain reactions, break down bacteria cell walls and prevent ribosomes from making protein material.
