Abstract:
A new type of apparatus for the analysis of complex protein mixtures, in which gel permeation chromatography was combined with capillary electrophoresis, was constructed. Proteins were separated according to their molecular size in the first step, then separated according to their electrophoretic mobility in the second step. The outlet of a microbore column was connected with the sample injection port of a capillary electrophoresis apparatus. All the procedures of chromatography and electrophoresis were automated with the aid of a system controller. Preliminary results on the separation of proteins are presented.

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...
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.
