This file also contains the Afterword, which is an essay on the politics of publishing in different countries. In the Afterword, I justify my choice of a German publisher, and write about which presses are considered appropriate for young scholars in the U.S., U.K., and German-speaking countries. The politics is a sensitive issue, and as far as I know it hasn't been addressed elsewhere.

Abstract Gel electrophoresis is routinely used to separate and analyse macromolecules in biological systems. Although many of these electrophoretic techniques necessitate the denaturing of the analytes prior to their analysis, blue native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) permits the investigation of proteins/enzymes and their supramolecular structures such as the metabolon in native form. This attribute renders this analytical tool conducive to deciphering the metabolic perturbations invoked by metal toxicity. In this review, we elaborate on how BN-PAGE has led to the discovery of the dysfunctional metabolic pathways associated with disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and obesity that have been observed as a consequence of exposure to various metal toxicants.

Biocontrols are one of the factors to be considered in the search for sustainable agricultural activities. The amount of samples to be analyzed while searching for such agents draws mandatory the use of technological tools that accelerate the processes involved and improve the accuracy of the experimental results. The molecular characterization of organisms is one of the steps involved while searching for such biocontrols. Several techniques used for the molecular characterization of organisms make use of gel electrophoresis images, which permit to work at coarser but faster level of information analyisis than genetic sequencing. During the creation of gel electrophoresis images, two types of distortions occur. The first type originates on the gel creation process due to variations of the electric field and temperature gradients. The second type is induced in the image capture process and involves optical distortions, such as the barrel distortion. This project is focused on lane de...
