[Use of the isoelectric focusing method in examining hair proteins]
Abstract:
Method of isoelectric focusing in thin and ultrathin layer of polyacrylamide gel followed by staining the polypeptide fractions with argentum was used to investigate human hair keratins. Method makes it possible to determine the polymorphism of keratins in hair even 1,5-2 cm long. It helps to obtain the additional information in medicolegal expertise of hair affinity.

SDS-PAGE
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...
Western Blotting
The technique begins with separating proteins from the sample using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), followed by protein transfer, immunoblotting, and finally, protein detection.
Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis
The first dimension separation uses the isoelectric focusing or IEF technique performed on immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips that separate proteins according to their isoelectric points.
