2. ELECTROPHORESIS
Separate and characterize proteins by applying electric current
Rapid and sensitive
Polyacrylamide gel is the medium preferred
Large number of sample analysis possible
Poly acrylamide gel:
Polymer of acrylamide and bis-acrylamide
Per sulphate ion as catalyst and TEMED as chain initiator
Oxygen act as inhibitor
Porosity based on relative proportion of monomers

3. PRINCIPLE
SDS is an anionic detergent which binds strongly to, and
denature proteins.
Linearize the protein (primary structure)
SDS can disrupt hydrophobic areas and coat proteins with
many negative charges
Protein-SDS complex carries net negative charges, hence
move towards the anode and the separation is based on the
size of the protein
Importance in purification

9. PROCEDURE
Thoroughly clean and dry the glass plates and spacers, then
assemble them properly. Hold and clamp in an upright position
White petroleum jelly or 2% agar is applied around the edges of
the spacer to hold them in place and seal the chamber between
the glass plates
Prepare sufficient volume of separating gel mixture
For 15% For 10%

10. Mix gently and carefully, pour the solution in the chamber
between the glass plates
Layer distilled water on top of the gel and leave to set for 30min
Prepare stacking gel
Remove water from top of the gel and wash with stacking gel
solution. Pour stacking gel mixture, place the comb and allow to
set

11. After polymerisation, comb is removed carefully and install the
gel in the electrophoresis apparatus
Fill it with electrode buffer
Connect the cathode at the top
Sample preparation:
Prepare samples by suitable extraction procedure
Sample heated in boiling water bath for 2-3min with equal volume of 5X
sample buffer and cool to room temperature for complete denaturation and
concentration of protein
Take required volume of sample and inject into sample well
using micro pipette
Also load marker sample in a few wells
Turn on the current to 10-15mA initially and continue to run at
30mA through separating gel until sample reach the
bottom(3/4) of the gel
11
13. After the run is complete, carefully remove the gel from
between the plates and immerse in staining solution for at least
3h or overnight with uniform shaking
Proteins absorb coomasive brilliant blue
Transfer the gel to suitable container with at least 200-300ml
destaining solution and shake gently and continuously until the
gel background is colourless (Unbound dye is removed)
The proteins fractionated into band are seen coloured blue
The gel can be now photographed or stored in polythene bags
or dried in vacuo for permanent record
