Pre-cast bis(2-hydroxyethyl)iminotris(hydroxymethyl)methane (Bis-Tris) gels have proven to be very suitable for pre-fractionation for LC-MS/MS analysis due to high reliability and long stability. To visualize proteins within gels fluorescence dyes proved to be a good tradeoff between sensitivity and MS-compatibility. The custom-made ruthenium dye represents a low-cost alternative regarding fluorescence-based protein visualization with high sensitivity. We demonstrate, that this dye is incompatible with Bis-Tris gels, while using Tris-Glycine gels a competitive sensitivity to commercially available stains can be achieved.

The answer depends on the question: Optimal conditions for western blot characterization of muscle collagen type 1 depends on desired isoform.

Fibrillar collagen type 1 is the most abundant type of collagen within the body and is a critical component of extracellular infrastructure. In order to assess collagen synthesis and extracellular accumulation in fibrotic disorders, improved methods are needed to detect changes in procollagen versus mature collagen at the protein level. Using Western blot methodology, we systematically examined: (1) gel composition (Tris-glycine .

When monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are analysed by non-reducing sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), method-induced artifacts are a frequent phenomenon. Previous studies suggested that incomplete denaturation and disulfide-bond scrambling are two main causes of artifact bands. Thus, in practice samples are normally heated and treated with alkylating agent iodoacetamide (IAM) before loading to promote denaturation and block free sulfhydryl groups, respectively.

Improved Phos-tag SDS-PAGE under neutral pH conditions for advanced protein phosphorylation profiling.

We describe an improved Phos-tag SDS-PAGE (Zn(2+)-Phos-tag SDS-PAGE) using a dizinc(II) complex of Phos-tag acrylamide in conjunction with a Bis-tris-buffered neutral-pH gel system to detect shifts in the mobility of phosphoproteins. An existing technique (Mn(2+)-Phos-tag SDS-PAGE) using a polyacrylamide-bound Mn(2+)-Phos-tag and a conventional Laemmli's buffer system under alkaline pH conditions has limitations for separating certain phosphoproteins. The major improvements were demonstrated by visualizing novel up-shifted bands of commercially available pepsin, recombinant Tau treated in vitro with tyrosine kinases, and endogeneous β-catenin in whole-cell lysates.

Western Blotting (or immunoblotting) is a standard laboratory procedure allowing investigators to verify the expression of a protein, determine the relative amount of the protein present in different samples, and analyze the results of co-immunoprecipitation experiments. In this method, a target protein is detected with a specific primary antibody in a given sample of tissue homogenate or extract. Protein separation according to molecular weight is achieved using denaturing SDS-PAGE.
