Antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to foreign macromolecules. Each antibody binds specifically to one feature (epitope) on one macromolecule (antigen). This allows the use of antibodies for the detection and quantitation…
Samples to be run on native gels should be prepared in a way that minimizes the denaturation of the proteins. Avoid heat, strong detergents, foaming, and over-dilution. In addition, the activity of endogenous proteases must…
The basic protocols for preparing Native PAGE gels are the same as for discontinuous SDS PAGE gels, substituting non-SDS buffers for those containing SDS, as follows: Casting Native Protein Gels Prepare resolving gel and stacking…
Samples to be run on native gels should be prepared in a way which minimizes denaturation of the proteins. Avoid heat, strong detergents, foaming and over-dilution. In addition, the activity of endogenous proteases must be…
Proteins run on PAGE in the absence of SDS will separate on the basis of their charge to mass ratio. While native (nondenaturing) PAGE does not provide direct measurement of molecular weight, the technique can…
Peptide mapping involves controlled cleavage of a pure protein with small amounts of a pure protease to generate peptides of characteristic, reproducible sizes. These peptides can be separated on PAGE to produce a “fingerprint” characteristic…
The mobility (Rf) of a molecule in gel electrophoresis is determined by its free solution mobility, Y0 (= mobility in a gel of zero %) and the sieving action of the gel matrix. In denaturing…
Gradient gels are cast with a higher concentration of acrylamide at the bottom than the top. Gradient gel applications include the determination of protein molecular weights and the separation of molecules which co-migrate on uniform…
SDS is a powerful detergent, which will solubilize many cells and tissues. This greatly facilitates sample preparation for SDS PAGE because most samples will be completely dissolved by heating to 95°C in loading buffer (detailed…
Agarose electrophoresis of RNA requires the inclusion of denaturing agents in the gel. In the absence of denaturants, RNA assumes compact secondary structures, which distort the relationship between molecular weight and mobility.Urea, used as a…
