Specialist Institute Impressed by Gel Analysis Software

Syngene recently announced, Dymension, its powerful software for the analysis of 2D protein gels, is being used at the Open Mind Institute (OMI) in Slovenia, a new centre for studying the effects of medicinal plants, to determine the effects the anti-addictive alkaloid, ibogaine have on the brain.
Researchers in the OMI in collaboration with scientists at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia are using Dymension to accurately determine any post ibogaine treatment differences in silver stained rat brain proteins run on 2D gels.
The protein profiles are used to establish which proteins are up or down-regulated. This research could lead to a better understanding of the pharmacodynamics of antiaddiction therapies.
The OMI are relatively new to proteomic analysis and chose to install Dymension software to enable them to rapidly perform complicated analysis in a simple method.
Dr Roman Paškulin, Director of the OMI, stated that using Dymension to analyse their 2D gel images in association with MALDI-TOF on the resulting protein spots, has resulted in increases in four metabolic enzymes after ibogaine treatment and they are looking at the significance of these findings.
