Objective
The referees of the microgel paper wanted me to determine if the protein hydrolyzes during the reaction for making hydrogels. So, I'm going to run 2 reaction (one with iron and one without iron) to see if the protein is degraded by the KOH and KNO3. today I am running the gel
Description
- Using the BioRad MiniProtean electrophoresis setup
- Any kD Mini-Protean TGX gel
- Samples
- Hemoglobin in water (standard)
- 5 uL of sample (1.8 uM of Hemoglobin in water to match final concentration of hemoglobin from the micro gel sample prep)
- 5 uL of water
- 10 uL of 2X sample buffer
- Lane 5
- Reaction with FeSO4
- 5 uL of sample
- 5 uL of water
- 10 uL of 2X sample buffer
- Lane 6
- Reaction without FeSO4
- 5 uL of sample (1.8 uM of Hemoglobin in water to match final concentration of hemoglobin from the micro gel sample prep)
- 5 uL of water
- 10 uL of 2X sample buffer
- Lane 7
- Running conditions
- Follow directions from Mini-Protean protocol
- Run voltage: 100 V
- Run time: 12: 05 pm to 12:56pm (dye band was about half-way down gel)
- Done this way so that I can observe any Hemoglobin fragments that may be made
- Gel Fixing
- Fixing solution
- 60mL of methanol, 15 mL of acetic acid, 75 mL water
- Remove gel from holder and place in fixing solution
- 1:02 pm to 1:32 pm
- Gel Staining
- Staining solution
- 37.5 mg coomassie blue, 15 mL of acetic acid, 135 mL water
- Stain from 1:35 until (should only be an hour. ran long due to meeting with the provost)
Data
