Abstract
A time-saving, one-step polyacrylamide gel preparation method enabling simultaneous preparation of separating and stacking gels was previously reported, but the boundary between the separating and stacking gels was often not well defined. As such, determining whether the gel preparation failed is difficult before SDS-PAGE is carried out. To address this issue, a one-step polyacrylamide gel preparation method was developed in which the stacking gel is colored to allow better visualization of the border between the stacking and separating gels. This new one-step method saves time and achieves comparable performance for SDS-PAGE and western blotting to that obtained with conventional gels.
期刊介绍:
The journal''s title Analytical Biochemistry: Methods in the Biological Sciences declares its broad scope: methods for the basic biological sciences that include biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology, proteomics, immunology, bioinformatics and wherever the frontiers of research take the field.
The emphasis is on methods from the strictly analytical to the more preparative that would include novel approaches to protein purification as well as improvements in cell and organ culture. The actual techniques are equally inclusive ranging from aptamers to zymology.
The journal has been particularly active in:
-Analytical techniques for biological molecules-
Aptamer selection and utilization-
Biosensors-
Chromatography-
Cloning, sequencing and mutagenesis-
Electrochemical methods-
Electrophoresis-
Enzyme characterization methods-
Immunological approaches-
Mass spectrometry of proteins and nucleic acids-
Metabolomics-
Nano level techniques-
Optical spectroscopy in all its forms.
The journal is reluctant to include most drug and strictly clinical studies as there are more suitable publication platforms for these types of papers.
