Iodine stain for detection of peptides after isoelectric focusing
Journal of Biochemical and Biophysical Methods
|September 1, 1980
Abstract:
Iodine stain is used for the detection of peptides after isoelectric focusing has been developed. Ultrathin gels (240-360 micrometer) are cast and, after focusing, dried at 110 degrees C on a filter paper sheet. The paper-pasted gel is then exposed to iodine vapors for a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the peptide load. White peptide zones are visible on a brown, uniform background. The reaction is fully reversible and can be used also for small-scale preparative purification of peptides. Better than 80% recoveries of peptide from the gel can be obtained by elution in 80% acetic acid.

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis is a high-resolution protein separation method first introduced by O' Farrell and Klose in 1975. This method involves protein separation by two dimensions, mass and charge, making it more accurate than one-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.

Gel electrophoresis is a method that separates biological macromolecules like nucleic acids or proteins by forcing them to pass through a gel matrix under an electric field.
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...

Western blotting is an analytical technique for protein identification. It has various applications in immunology and medicine, including detecting diseases like bovine spongiform encephalopathy, mad cow disease, and human and feline immunodeficiency virus from biological samples.
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.
