Abstract:
Separation of plant proteins by means of electrophoretic techniques is quite challenging since different compounds typical for plant cells can interfere and/or reduce the effectiveness of the protein isolation. This is particularly problematic for two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE). Therefore, it is important to optimize protein extraction and to establish a robust protocol for 2-DE and downstream processing, primarily mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. Here we give a detailed protocol for protein extraction using phenol method, 2-DE, and MALDI-MS analysis.
