Isoelectric focusing of nonspecific esterases in polyacrylamide microgels.

Isoelectric focusing of proteins in rewetted ultrathin polyacrylamide gel layers.

Ultrathin layers of polyacrylamide gel bound to glass can be washed, air-dried, and stored for at least 1 year before rewetting in ampholyte solutions for isoelectric focusing. Short-term drying affects neither fluorescent banding of the ampholytes (not evident in conventional gels) nor resolution of complex protein mixtures while prolonged storage seems to have no deleterious effects. Layers a...

Nonspecific Esterases of the Formed Elements: Zymograms Produced by pH 9.5 Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis

The formed elements of human blood each contain multipIe isoenzymes of nonspecific esterase that hydrolyze short chain alpha naphthyl esters. Zymograms that are characteristic of each type of formed element are obtained by subjecting purified preparations of each to polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis at pH 9.5 and subsequent staining of the gels for esterase activity. The most prominent is...

Identification of Fish Species by Thin-layer Polyacrylamide Gel Isoelectric Focusing

Conventional electrophoretic techniques for the identification offish species are limited in the resolution and reproducibility needed for the reliable identification of fish species. This paper describes the potential of a high resolution protein separation technique, thin-layer polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing (IEFl, as a new means of identifying fish species. Sarcoplasmic protein patt...
