Laterally Aggregated Polyacrylamide Gels for Immunoprobed Isoelectric Focusing

Activity stain for rapid characterization of pectic enzymes in isoelectric focusing and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels.

A system was developed for the rapid characterization of microbial pectic enzyme complexes and then tested on Erwinia chrysanthemi and Sclerotium rolfsii. Pectic enzymes in minute samples of crude culture filtrates were resolved by ultrathin-layer polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and then assayed with an ultrathin pectate-agar...

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...

The article is written by an expert in the Reld and covers more or less all developments in CE including CGE of the preceding years.)

Isoelectric focusing--polynucleotide/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. A technique to separate and characterize nuclease activities.

Individual native nuclease activities from human leucocytes are separated by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis in an apparatus that allows the simultaneous running of 28 gels. Proteins are separated by isoelectric focusing in a disc gel, followed by electrophoresis into a slab gel containing DNA. Protein denaturants are avoided in the second dimension by the use of a running pH well abo...
