  • What is sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)?
  • Author manuscript; available in PMC 2015 Jul 28. Metallomics. 2014 May; 6 (5): 1068–1078. Sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) is commonly used to obtain high resolution separation of complex mixtures of proteins. The method initially denatures the proteins that will undergo electrophoresis.
  • What is polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis?
  • Electrophoretic mobility is a function of the length, conformation, and charge of the molecule. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is a powerful tool used to analyze RNA samples. When polyacrylamide gel is denatured after electrophoresis, it provides information on the sample composition of the RNA species.
  • What is a denaturing polyacrylamide gel system?
  • This protocol describes a denaturing polyacrylamide gel system utilizing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to separate protein molecules based on size as first described by Laemmli (1970). SDS-PAGE can be used to monitor protein purifications, check the purity of samples, and to estimate molecular weights for unknown proteins.
  • What is a 15% polyacrylamide gel used for?
  • Gels of 15% polyacrylamide are therefore useful for separating proteins in the range of 100,000–10,000. However, a protein of 150,000 for example, would be unable to enter a 15% gel. In this case, a larger-pored gel (e.g., a 10% or even 7.5% gel) would be used so that the protein could now enter the gel, and be stained and identified.
