Microscale Isoelectric Fractionation Using Immobilized Ph-specific Membranes for Multi-dimentional Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on advancements of our microscale isoelectric fractionation (IEFr) methodology for fast on-chip separation and concentration of proteins based on their isoelectric points (pI). We establish that proteins can be fractionated depending on posttranslational modifications into different pH specific bins, from where they can be efficiently transferred to downstream membranes for additional processing and analysis. This technology can enable on-chip multidimensional glycoproteomics analysis, as a new approach to expedite biomarker identification and verification.

IPG strip-based peptide fractionation for shotgun proteomics.
Efficient fractionation of peptides is an essential prerequisite for comprehensive analysis of complex protein mixtures by shotgun mass spectrometry. The separation of peptides by isoelectric focusing is particularly attractive due to its orthogonality to reverse-phase HPLC. Here, we present a protocol for in-gel peptide isoelectric focusing using immobilized pH gradient strips. The method show...
متن کاملResolution of alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes in serum by isoelectric focusing in immobilized pH gradients.
This new method for fractionation of serum alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes is based on isoelectric focusing on a mixed-type polyacrylamide support containing an immobilized pH gradient with a superimposed carrier-ampholyte gradient. All known forms of alkaline phosphatase are separated in an Immobiline pH 3.5-6.0 gradient, the sample being applied into pockets cast on a pH 8.0 plateau. Sharp zy...
