Abstract:
Acid-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (acid-PAGE) was used for analysis of lysozyme-estrone glucuronide conjugates. The resolution of the system allowed the identification of individual conjugate families which differed only in the position of acylation or in the number of estrone glucuronide units. Acid-PAGE was a good alternative to denaturing cation-exchange chromatography for the analysis, separation, and small-scale purification of lysozyme-estrone glucuronide conjugates. It revealed the true order of the relative degree of positive charge on the lysozyme-estrone glucuronide conjugates.

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.
