We perform protein separation by 1D SDS-PAGE with the NuPAGE pre-cast gel system from Thermo Scientific and according to the manufacturer’s manual. First, we dissolve the protein sample (5 – 20 ug) in LDS sample buffer with DTT and heat (70 oC, 10 minutes). Then we load onto the NuPAGE 12% Bis-Tris gel and separate with a MOPS/MES running buffer at 200V for 40-50 minutes. Finally, we stain the gel by Coomassie brilliant Blue R250, or by Silver staining (Alphalyse procedure).
1D page separation with PVDF blotting for N-terminal sequencing of different DS batches
We perform 2D-SDS PAGE using IPG drystrips 7 cm, pH 3-10 for the first dimension isoelectric focusing, and NuPAGE pre-cast gel system from Invitrogen for the second dimension of Mw separation. First, the sample is purified/desalted using 2-D Clean-Up Kit (GE Healthcare). Then we mix the purified sample with Destreak Rehydration solution with IPG-buffer prior isoelectric focusing. Also, we use SeeBlue Plus2 Pre-Stained Standard (Invitrogen) as marker.
Finally, we stain the 2D gels by either Coomassie brilliant Blue R250, or by Silver staining (Alphalyse procedure).
Examples of short 1D page, Long 1D page and a 2D page
It is important that the samples delivered for gel electrophoresis are in-solution or solid material.
Also note that for 1D gels, we will typically load between 2 and 30 µg and for 2D gels between 30 and 300 µg.
