Cycloheximide chase
Cycloheximide chase assays are an experimental technique used in molecular and cellular biology to measure steady state protein stability. Cycloheximide is a drug that inhibits the elongation step in eukaryotic protein translation, thereby preventing protein synthesis. The addition of cycloheximide to cultured cells followed by protein lysis at multiple timepoints is conducted to observe protein degradation over time and can be used to determine a protein's half-life. These assays are often followed by western blotting to assess protein abundance and can be analyzed using quantitative tools such as ImageJ.
