One significant advantage of capillary electrophoresis (CE) is the separation of a broad range of analytes at the same moment. Affinity Capillary Electrophoresis (ACE) is a technique used in order to separate substances which participate either in specific or in non-specific affinity interactions during the electrophoresis process, by using a capillary electrophoresis format. The molecules can be free in solution or they can be immobilized to a solid support (Heegaard, Nilsson and Guzman, 1998).
Electrophoresis is an analytical technique for the analysis of macromolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. This technique was discovered and first used in 1937 by a Swedish biochemist Arne Tiselius . The electrophoretic effect is based on the theory of Debye - Huckel - Onsager where this theory of electrolytic dissociation accept the fact that charged particles move up under the influence of electrostatic forces to an electrode of opposite charge is applied when a potential difference in a solution
that should have EGFP and confirmed the absence of EGFP in the samples that should not have EGFP. The unknown sample was revealed to have EGFP, therefore confirming its identity as containing a recombinant plasmid. However, the UV illumination post-affinity chromatography and the low readings on the absorbance meter indicates that EGFP is just barely present. With EGFP composing of ~17% of the crude lysate, it is possible that proteins are in very small quantities and thus could not be expressed definitively
Chloroplast fractionation: Nucleic acid and protein analysis via gel electrophoresis ABSTRACT: Chloroplasts carry out photosynthetic processes to meet the metabolic demands of plant cells (Alberts, 2008). They consist of an inner thylakoid membrane and a stroma. (Parent et. al, 2008).In this experiment we demonstrate the unique protein compositions of isolated thylakoid and stromal fractions from broken and whole spinach chloroplasts. Because these compartments carry out different metabolic processes
Ion Exchange chromatography: Ion exchange chromatography is a unique technique for effective separation of ions, amino acids, peptides, nucleotide and nucleic acids etc. This technique is widely used in the pre-fractionation or purification of a target protein from crude biological samples. It is used for separation of polar/charged/hydrophilic molecules. We can separate macromolecules like proteins, amino acid or nucleotides through ion chromatography. Mobile phase and liquid phase can be of different
Thanks to TV shows like CSI, many people are familiar with the use of gel electrophoresis to separate macromolecules like DNA. However, gel electrophoresis can also be used to separate out proteins. Different proteins have different sizes, mainly due to the number of amino acid building blocks in their structure. Chemical modifications attached to the protein also affect its size. Different proteins also have different charges. This can result from both the types of amino acid used to construct
3/11/16 Introduction The aim of this experiment is to separate the protein samples based on their molecular size using the SDS-PAGE technique and to detect EGFP protein by carrying out a western blot. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) is a technique used in the lab for the separation of proteins by their molecular weight. SDS is a detergent used in PAGE because its main role is to break down the disulphide bonds which disrupts the tertiary structure of the proteins

MATERIALS Buffers and Solutions Agarose solutions (please see Step 3) DNA staining solution Electrophoresis buffer 6x Gel-loading buffer Nucleic Acids and Oligonucleotides DNA samples DNA size standards Samples of DNAs of known size are typically generated by restriction enzyme digestion of a plasmid or bacteriophage DNA of known sequence. Alternatively, they are produced by ligating a monomer
Protein extractions from unidentified fish samples were separated according to the molecular weights by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Since some of these proteins are shared between fishes, phylogenetic evaluation was reached. Western blot analysis was used to identify four unknown species of aquatic animals via comparison of actin/myosin bands. According to the results of this assay, the best estimate is that the unidentified aquatic animals are specimens of salmon, tilapia, cod, and shrimp

DNA Fingerprinting Using Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Introduction Agarose gel electrophoresis is a form of gel electrophoresis that can separate a mix of DNA and proteins through agarose gel. It separates DNA by length or size through gel when an electric current is applied. Shorter fragments travel faster than long through the gel allowing for matches to be identified by similarity. The fragment length of DNA is different for each individual because sequences cut at specific sites. PCR or polymerase
Introduction Alu elements are a class of transposable genes found exclusively in the genomic sequences of primates. Averaging in lengths of approximately 300 base pairs, Alu elements are classified as being short interspersed elements, more commonly referred to by the acronym SINEs. These elements interject themselves into the DNA sequence by means of retroposition. Once established into the genome, Alu elements are considered to be stable, only rarely being subjected to deletion. Initial studies
Then DNA ladder and flow cytometry assays were done for detection of apoptosis in NIH-3T3 cell line. RESULT: Primary and late apoptosis in the treated cells was determined by flow cytometry analysis. Accordingly DNA ladder assay using 1.5 % gel electrophoresis showed fragmentation in the DNA of treated cells. CONCLUSSION: This research provides a fast, simple and cost-effective method in observing apoptosis in mammalian cells and could be use in cancer research and genotoxicity. Introduction Apoptosis
Most of the time, this is done using a technique known as gel electrophoresis. Gel electrophoresis is a method used to separate the macromolecules that make up nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, along with proteins. Gel electrophoresis is significant because it has given scientists insight on what cells cause certain diseases and has led to advancements in DNA and fingerprint identification. My experiment will use gel electrophoresis to compare samples of natural and synthetic food dyes. The background
This causes the DNA fragments to move through the gel depending on their sizes. With this, the DNA fragments will show a sample that will determine how large they are to one another. Gel electrophoresis uses a horizontal gel-like slab. These gels are made of polysaccharide called agarose, which is dry, powdered flakes. When the agarose is heated in a buffer, it makes the gel form solid, slightly squishy gels. (Dickey, J. L. 2012) At one end of

The research work was undertaken with the aim of study Agrolistic transformation in Sugarcane and studies of associated problems. The work was carried out in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering, Vasantdada Sugar Institute, Pune during Jan 2014- May 2014. The materials used and the methods adopted are presented below: Plant material used Top portion of sugarcane of age varying from 4-10 months is used as initial explants however sugarcane of more than 6 months was not preferred
nucleic acids’ electrophoresis whether in agarose or polyacrylamide gels (Bisen, 2014). Usually for resolution of RNA and DNA fragment larger than 1500 bp TAE buffer is preferred, for genomic DNA and for large supercoiled DNA. In addition, TAE buffer contain low buffering capacity. Therefore, during prolonged electrophoresis, replacement (periodic) of the buffer is recommended. Furthermore, TBE buffer and also known as Tris-borate-EDTA 10X commonly used in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for the DNA
the region of DNA. In the taster gene, after amplification, a restriction digest was performed to differentiate between the two alleles. The digest was able to show differentiation because those with the “T” allele would have two bands from gel electrophoresis and those with “t” will have one band because the restriction enzyme doesn’t cut it. For the PV92, we were able to distinguish between the alleles due to the added length of the Alu element. Those... ... middle of paper ... ...G.E., Ioannou
