Proteins are being denatured by the combination of SDS and heat
ElectrophoresisElectrophoresis Use polyacrylamide gel
Stacking gel- Large pore size and stacks proteins Separating gel- Small pore size and Separates
proteins base on molecular weight Why acrylamide?
Acrylamide gel: tight matrix that is ideal for protein separation
Smaller pore size than agarose Proteins are much smaller than intact
chromosomal DNA

How does an SDS-PAGE gel work?
How does an SDS-PAGE gel work?
Negatively charged proteins move to the positive electrode
Smaller proteins move faster
Proteins separate by size

Tracking the samplesTracking the samples You will monitor the
progress of electrophoresis to ensure your samples don’t run off the gel Using
Bromophenol Blue that is in the sample buffer

What is in the sample Buffer?*Tris buffer to provide appropriate pH*SDS (sodium dodecyl sulphate) detergent to dissolve proteins and give them a negative charge*Glycerol to make samples sink into wells*Bromophenol Blue dye to visualize samples

VisualizingVisualizing When electrophoresis is complete,
you will stain with Coomassie Blue and Destain The stain and destain contains
methanol and acetic acid that helps to fix the proteins in the gel.

Plot a standard curve on a log graph paper or regular graph paper. You must convert to log10(MW of proteins in the
marker if you use regular graph paper) Use your curve in the identifying the unknown and
answer the questions in your lab manual

hazardous reducing agent, Beta mercaptoethanol -stinks like rotten eggs Eppendorf tubes should be thrown
into the sample buffer waste container
