    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Molecular Biology
    • Proteomics

    Background:

    • Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) is a standard technique for protein purification.
    • PAGE is crucial for reconstitution experiments, amino acid analysis, and sequencing.
    • Current methods can be optimized for broader applicability and efficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present versatile methods for protein isolation and characterization using PAGE.
    • To highlight the advantages of using boric acid instead of glycine in electrophoresis buffers.
    • To describe rapid protein visualization and transfer techniques for advanced analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) for protein separation.
    • Investigated the substitution of boric acid for glycine in electrophoresis tray buffers.
