  • What are polyacrylamide gels?
  • Polyacrylamide gels are a matrix of cross-linked acrylamide monomers with the tightness of the mesh dependent upon the amount of acrylamide and cross-linker present. Different sized proteins therefore require different formulations of acrylamide gel to achieve optimum separation (table 1).
  • What is polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE)?
  • To follow this article, as basic understanding of protein biochemistry is helpful. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) is a technique use almost universally in life science laboratories. The goal of this technique is to separate a mixed sample of proteins to identify and quantify single proteins from the mixture.
  • 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.
  • What is the linear relationship between acrylamide and SDS?
  • As an approximate guide, using the system described here, the linear relationship is true over the following ranges: 15% acrylamide, 10,000–50,000; 10% acrylamide 15,000–70,000; 5% acrylamide 60,000–200,000. It should be stressed that this relationship only holds true for proteins that bind SDS in a constant weight ratio.
