polyacrylamide gel as a support medium and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to denature the proteins. The method is called sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) where one can obtain information about the size of a protein or its molecular weight and yield or the total amount of the protein. This system is also called the Laemmli method after U.K. Laemmli‚ who was the first to publish a paper employing SDS-PAGE in a scientific study. SDS (also called lauryl sulfate) is an anionic

EXPERIMENT NO. 15 PROTEIN CHARACTERIZATION BY ELECTROPHORESIS Abstract The molecular weights of protein extracts were assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Two sets of four protein samples‚ standard bovine serum albumin (BSA)‚ invertase‚ egg albumin‚ and casein‚ were prepared; one set containing β-mercaptoethanol (BME) while the other did not. These were then analyzed through SDS-PAGE with 12.5% resolving gel‚ prepared using 2 M Tris-HCl at pH 8

Theorems 1 All right angles are congruent. 2 Perpendicular lines form right angles. 3 If two angles are complements or supplements to the same or congruent angles‚ they are congruent. 4 Two adjacent angles that fall on the same line form a linear pair and are supplementary. 5 Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. 6 If two sides of a triangle are congruent the angles opposite are congruent. 7 If two angles in a triangle are congruent the sides opposite are congruent. 8 The base

computer is an intrinsically dualistic entity‚ with its physical set-up designed so as not to interfere with its logical set-up‚ which executes the computation. The brain is di¡erent. When analysed empirically at several di¡erent levels (cellular‚ molecular)‚ it appears that there is no satisfactory way to separate a physical brain model (or algorithm‚ or representation)‚ from a physical implementational substrate. When program and implementation are inseparable and thus interfere with each other‚ a

SDS-PAGE electrophoresis was used to separate the polypeptides in the mixture and was visualized by coomassie brilliant blue and silver staining. Western blot method was used to detect the molecular weight of proteins which is selected for three different antibodies: α-β-actin targeting the α and β isoforms of actin protein‚ α-GADPH targeting Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase‚ (GAPDH); and α-BSA which targets bovine liver protein.

Describe what you can learn about the protein bands found in lanes 2‚ 3 and 4 based on the protein ladder bands. The benefit of protein ladder is to have a point of reference for the molecular weight found in the wells next to it. I found that well 2 contained the proteins found in both well 3 and well 4 because it matched
