Objective
- Utilize SDS-Page electrophoresis to observe protein sample solutions
- Redo the Bradford Assay calibration curve with Lysozyme stock
Description
We will be using a Bio-Rad Mini Protean system with pre-cast Mini Protean TGX gels. The manual for this system can be found here We will be running SDS-PAGE followed by gel development with Coomassie Blue staining.
Below is a short description of how we will proceed. Please refer to the manual for more detailed instructions
- The Gel was previously prepared and the Electrophoresis Cell was assembled
- Remove comb and tape from the gels
- Rinse the wells with running buffer
- Added 200mL 10x SDS-Page running buffer to 1800mL of H2O
- Assembled the electrophoresis cell (note diagrams in manual)
- Filled the inner and outer buffer chambers with running buffer
- Prepare and Load Samples
- Samples were prepped 09/17
- Samples were heated for 10 minutes at 100°C in the thermocycler
- Loaded 20uL of protein ladder into column 1 of the gel
- Loaded 20uL of samples into the appropriate lane of the gel
- Performed electrophoresis
- Ran for 30 minutes at 200V
- Developed/Stained the gel
- Placed gel in Fixative Solution (40% methanol, 10% acetic acid, 50% water) for 30 minutes
- Placed gel in Stain Solution (0.025% (w/v) Coomassie Blue, 10% acetic acid, 90% water) for 1 hour
- Placed gel in Destain Solution (10% acetic acid, 90% water) for 15 minutes
- Repeat this step with fresh destain solution 2 more times
- Bradford Assay of the Lysozyme Stock
- 0.50350g of Lysozyme was added to 1L of 0.90378% saline solution
- Tris-NaCl buffer prepared with 1.5145g Tris,0.7291g NaCl, and 250mL H2O
