Abstract:
Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is one of the most key separation tools which can reveal hundreds or even thousands of proteins at a time in proteomic research. In this paper, we report a new IPG strip application, called multi-strips on one gel (MSOG) method. By comparing the 2-DE patterns of the same sample, the different state samples and the same sample in the different second dimensional SDS running systems (large size and medium size gels), we found this new method can not only improve the reproducibility and resolution power of 2-DE pattern, but also achieve high throughput and economical format which is helpful to automatic proteomic research.

A variation of gel electrophoresis, termed polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is commonly used for separating proteins according to their molecular size by passing them through a polyacrylamide gel. Because of the varying charges associated with amino acid side chains, PAGE can be used to separate intact proteins...
