In this article we will discuss about the principle, requirements and procedure for silver staining of proteins. Polypeptides even upto 0.1 µg present on gel can be visualised by staining with amido black 10B dye or Coomassie brilliant blue R250. Silver staining is useful since some proteins occur in very small quantities and are difficult […]

Separating Micro-Weights of Proteins: PAGE | Molecular Biology
In this article we will discuss about the principle, requirements and procedure for Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (PAGE). Micro-weights of proteins can be separated and characterised rapidly and relatively sensitive, using PAGE. Buffer gels (non-denaturing) as well as Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS) containing denaturing gels are used. Separation in buffer gels depends on both the charge […]
