Protein electrophoresis

• Treat with SDS before electrophoresis– Makes proteins negatively charged– Performs cell lysis– Partially denatures proteins

• Then, heat at 95 degrees to fully denature proteins

– Also, treat with b-mercaptoethanol to break disulfide bonds

Page 3: Protein Apparatus

Protein electrophoresis• Run vertically

• Use polyacrylamide gels

• Tris/Glycine/SDS running buffer

• Stain with Coomassie blue after electrophoresis

• Do not stain if performing Western Blot

Page 4: Protein Apparatus

We will use premade gels: they are difficult to pour and contain toxic components

Page 5: Protein Apparatus

Remember to wear gloves when handling gels

Page 6: Protein Apparatus

Remove gel from box and tear side of wrapping

Page 7: Protein Apparatus

Remove gel from protective pouch

Page 8: Protein Apparatus

You need to pull and remove the strip at the bottom of the gel

Page 9: Protein Apparatus

Remove the comb from the gel(after the apparatus is set up)

and wash out the wells

Remove the comb from the gel

Page 11: Protein Apparatus

Setting up the gel• Place your gel in the top

apparatus to the left– The wells face in

• After the gel is placed in, put the top apparatus into the bottom apparatus – close the locks

• You must have 2 gels: use a blank gel if you have only one gel to run

Final setup of gels

Page 13: Protein Apparatus

Make sure the wells are facing inward

Page 14: Protein Apparatus

2 gels should be put into the apparatus

• Buffer can then be poured in between the 2 plates

• Notice the black and red electrodes

Page 15: Protein Apparatus

Place the entire gel apparatus into the tank

Page 16: Protein Apparatus

You may want to use longer/thinner tips to load the gel

Page 17: Protein Apparatus

Remember, the wells are in the back of the gel

• Make sure you find the wells

• Careful place the tip as far down as possible

• Load the well

The final step

• Put the cover on in the correct orientation

• Red to red and black to black

• Standards Measured in kD

• Fig. 7.12

• 10 kD – 250 kD
