Yes Peer 3, the swirling clouds effect is rather fascinating. Do you have any theories how capturing the image of an SDS gel would create this effect?

@Peer 1 -a repeated background motif is something that can be achieved with the cloning tool. Very good observation in my opinion. Have a look at this rendition of Fig...

@Peer 2: Yes, very good observation; I had not seen that one before and I completely agree. So the bands from the marker are used to represent experiments...

Its not necessary that protein changes after inubation, therefore bands can be identical. It looks just the case of bad looking gel and thats it...

I respectfully disagree. Even if proteins do not change physically after an incubation, they should not produce an identical looking band. And yet, in these gels, multiple bands seem to appear 2 times…

1. Concern about Figure 7ALanes 2 and 3 appear to be identical to each other, but represent different incubation times.Lanes 4 and 5 look very similar to each other, but represent different…
