Sodium dodecyl sulfatePolyacrylamide gel
electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)

Objectives
 To use the SDS PAGE analytical procedure to
identify and/or isolate the following proteins:
•Ovalbumin
•Casein
•Gluten
 To be able to understand the principles of gel
electrophoresis
 To apply and follow safety procedures while
carrying out the experiment
What is SDS-PAGE?
 Based on the migration of charged
molecules in an electric field
 Separation technique
 Uses the Polyacrylamide gel as a “support
matrix”. The matrix inhibits convective
mixing caused by heating and provides a
record of the electrophoretic run.
 Polyacrylamide is a porous gel which acts
as a sieve and separates the molecules
Role of SDS
 Denatures proteins by wrapping around the
polypeptide backbone.
 SDS binds to most proteins in amount roughly
proportional to molecular weight of the proteinabout one molecule of SDS for every two amino
acids (1.4 g SDS per gram of protein) (Lehninger
Principles of Biochemistry).
 In doing so, SDS creates a large negative charge
to the polypeptide in proportion to its length
Role of SDS (cont…)
 SDS also disrupts any hydrogen bonds, blocks many
hydrophobic interactions and partially unfolds the protein
molecules minimizing differences based on the secondary
or tertiary structure
 Therefore, migration is determined not by the electrical
charge of the polypeptide, but by molecular weight.
 The rate at which they move is inversely proportional to the
molecular mass
 This movement is then used to determined the molecular
weight of the protein present in the sample.
Procedure: materials
 1.A Mighty Small II, SE 260 Mini-Vertical Gel
Electrophoresis Unit
 2.0.5 TrisCl, pH 6.8 solution
 3.10% SDS solution
 4.Sample treatment buffer
 5.SDS glycine running buffer
 6.β-Mercaptoethanol solution
 7.Brilliant Blue R concentrate
 8.Destaining solution
 9.Precast polyacrylamide separating gel
 10.Fine tipped microsyringe
 11.Protein samples (ovalbumin, casein, and gluten)
Procedure: solutions
 0.5M TrisCl, pH 6.8 (4X Resolving gel
buffer)
 10% SDS solution
 2X Sample treatment buffer
 SDS glycine running buffer
 Destaining solution
Procedure: electrophoresis unit
 Initial preparation-wash the unit
 Preparing the gel sandwich(es):
– ensure that the plates are completely polymerized
before loading
– Install the gel sandwhich(es) into the unit before loading
any of the protein samples.
 Loading the protein samples:
– Dry sample: add equal volumes of treatment buffer
solution, and deionised water to achieve the required
concentration. Heat in a tube, in boiling water for 90
seconds
Procedure: electrophoresis unit
 Fill upper buffer chamber with running buffer
 Using a fine-tipped microsyringe, load the
treated protein samples into the wells so
that the volume in each well is raised by
1mm
 Fill the lower buffer chamber
Procedure: running the gel
 Place the safety lid on before plugging in
the leads of the unit to the power supply.
 Run the gel at 20mA per gel, using a
constant current
 When it reaches the bottom of the gel, the
run is complete
 Turn off the power supply, and disconnect
the leads, before removing the safety lid
Procedure: running the gel
 Carefully remove the gel(s) from the plates
 Lay it into a tray of staining solution for
about 10 minutes.
 Remove the gel carefully and place it in
between two layers of transparencies, cut
along the edges of the gel and analyse the
results.

Results and discussion
 the relationship between the logarithm of the
standards and the relative distance travelled by
each protein through the gel is linear
 The equation of the line was obtained and used to
calculate the relative molecular weights (Mr) of
the samples in lanes b-l of the gel
 x = (y + 1.7679)/0.4785
x – Mr
y – Relative distance travelled by the sample in

Mr => Relative molecular weight of the unknown samples.
Results and discussion
 From the molecular weights obtained for the
proteins to be analysed in the experiment:
– Cassein = 24,000 Da
– Ovalbumin = 46,000 Da
– Gluten = 20,000 – 11,000,000 Da
 It would be expected that the relative
molecular weights of these proteins, would
be close their respective theoretical values
shown above.
Conclusion
 SDS PAGE is a useful method for
separating and characterising proteins,
where a researcher can quickly check the
purity of a particular protein or work out the
different number of proteins in a mixture.
 Since we did not obtain results for the
experiment,
– we have to rely on sample results
– Cannot validate the experimental technique
