 IMAC
IMAC (Immobilised Metal Ion Affinity Chromatography) magnetic particles are formed from magnetic agarose particles which provide an extensive porous surface area especially suitable for the purification of His-tag proteins from cell lysates.
Immobilised metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) was originally introduced as a method for group separation, but today it represents one of the most important tools for the single-step purification of proteins based on polyhistidine tags.
The principle of the mechanism is based on the interaction between a metal ion coordinated to a covalently bound chelating ligand and a His-tag protein.

The latest incarnation of the iMac addresses literally every issue I had with the original models and added a few surprises.
The iMac DV SE is a very well rounded machine that will please anyone looking for a productive, fast, easy to use computer that can handle most any task.
At the time I bought the iMac, a 64MB PC100 dimm was almost $170; so the extra ram, larger hard drive and color made the SE model an easy choice for me. I think the SE will always be worth more in resale value as well.

Readers are reminded that the opinions expressed, and the results published in connection with reviews and/or laboratory test reports carried out on computing systems and/or related items are confined to, and representative of, only those goods supplied and should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase.
The original iMac wrapped the entire computer and monitor package into a cute all-in-one design that sold millions, and its successor swapped the bulky CRT monitor for a compact TFT display to come up with something that looked more like a lamp than a computer.

From our perspective we have established that the iMacs are at least twice as fast as their G5 counter parts, if you harness all the power.

 Inside Mac Games Review: iMac 2002
The earlier G3 iMac, for all its benefits, could never really compete with the more expensive G4 Power Macs for game performance; and yet, the Power Mac price range was too expensive for the sorts of casual consumer users who would be likely to want to play a few games on their machines.
So putting a G4 in the iMac was a shrewd move for Apple: its resulting new machine addresses the needs of consumers whilst offering them the kind of performance required to play the latest games without having to spend a fortune on a professional-level Power Mac.
All G4 iMacs have two RAM slots and can take up to 1 GB of RAM, but 256 MB is the standard memory fitted to the top-end model.
