Experiment 6
SDS-PAGE Analysis of rGFP Fractions
Experimental Objectives
This week you will work primarily as individuals to perform SDS-PAGE analysis of various
fractions from your Ni
+2
agarose column.
By the end of the experiment you should be able to:
1.
determine the purity and molecular weight of rGFP in your final product (usually
fractions
E2
and
E3
)
2.
assess the efficiency of the three major steps in the purification procedure:
- rGFP expression (compare
G0
with
G3
pellets);
- production of the
GCE
;
- development of the Ni
+2
agarose column (compare
wash fractions
with
elution
fractions)
.
3.
combining the SDS analysis with Bradford data, determine the total yield of rGFP
obtained through the Ni
+2
-agarose column purification procedure
Remember, in the real world you will most likely not have the convenient method of following
the active protein throughout the fractionation process by simply looking at fluorescence! You
would normally follow the presence/activity of your protein during the purification procedure by
using a combination of SDS-PAGE analysis and other assays for protein activity.
Student Safety
Acrylamide and bis-acrylamide are neurotoxins.
In their liquid form they are readily absorbed
through skin and mucous membranes.
You MUST wear gloves at all times this week.
The glass plates used for making gels are extremely fragile.
Do not clean them in your hand for
fear of breaking and cutting yourself.
Clean them on the lab bench.
Equipment Safety
Each complete SDS-PAGE apparatus cost well over $400.
All the various small pieces (gray
foam pads, green combs, etc) cost between $25-50 to replace.
Do not “accidently” throw them
in the trash.

Experiment 6 - Protocol
SDS-PAGE Analysis of rGFP Fractions
A similar procedure used in this week’s lab will be used in lab 7 (Western blot).
Pay
attention to this week’s demonstration and take notes
. There will NOT be demonstration
for Lab 7!
Notes:
Step 1:
Spray water onto the thin and thick plates and wipe them squeaky clean make sure theres
no residue on them (wipe it on the bench not in your hand)
One side has 2 black strips face them up and clean the glass.
Once done with water use ethanol to clean the glass.
Get the clear stand and wipe the foam pads make sure theyre dry and place them at the
bottom of the stand.
The green frame will sit on your bench legs down so it stands by itself with the doors
perpendicular to it.
Thick plate in back and thin plate in front against each other and insert into green frame.
Close doors outward.
Lift plate and check that the plates aren’t over lapping and are flush on the bottom
The chamber in the middle b/w thick and thin plate is where we pour the gel.
Clear clip should clip the thick glass. Once its clipped it shouldn’t move
Squirt water b/w the glass plates and fill to top (called a leak test). Wait for 30sec to make
sure its sealed.
Pour out water at 45-degree angle (DO NOT SHAKE). Put a paper towel in the corner to
suck out the water.
Pipette 4ml of resolver solution A (4, 1000ul) into empty tube. Do the same with solution B.
Pipette 80ul of yellow micro centrifuge tube APS. Pipette 5ul of green micro centrifuge
tube.
Shake well. Pipette the solution until you get to the bottom of the green bar in b/w the
glasses. Its gonna start polymerizing once you add everything so do the next step pretty
quick so you have enough gel for 2 partners. Write R on tube and leave it on the side. Let
the solution sit in the glasses and put water cap over the gel because when gel comes in
contact with air it doesn’t polymerize well. Water cap allows it to polymerize well. Wait for
it to polymerize and check when it completely hardens.
Step 2:
Once your gel has formed that means it has polymerized.
You should see a line forming at the top and if you move it the water should slide off.
Pour water out into the sink and suck it out with paper towel. Should be able to see a line
which is the top of the line.
Get a new conical tube and put in 2ml of stacking solution C and D. Then add 20 ul of APS
and 4 ul of TEMED and shake well. This will polymerize fast so once you add everything
you should trasfer it quickly. Flat side of comb is on the back then insert it into gel. Fill
stocking solution all the way to top on top of gel. Then write S on the conical tube and set
6-2
aside. Make sure to wear goggles. Flat side facing back, slide comb between glass plates and
push until completely flush on top. This will create wells for our samples.
To prepare samples. Add 80ul of water and 40 ul SLB to G0 & G3 pellets. Use the highest
fluorescing samples.
Step 3:
Undo clear clip and take out the green frame and gently push comb out using fingers. Once
out you should see wells formed. Get electrode assembly and make sure you turn the glass
around, so the thin/short glass is facing away from you. Put the glass and gel on the white
thing and it should sit at an angle. The step from the thick to the thin glass will sit under
the notch on the electrode thing.
Label lane 1 near black and for teammate label lane 1 near red.
Put electrode assembly at the end of the box and make sure red is near red and black is
near black.
To make 1x from 10x solution, you add 1 part of the solution and 9 parts water. Since we
want 500ml of solution we put 50ml of 10x solution and add 450ml of water. Make sure
when you load it that theres no leaking. Next load the samples.
MINE: label 1 at red.
Every student has the potential to obtain a perfect "textbook" gel. However, many factors
determine the "success" of SDS-PAGE analysis. You will be using the best equipment available
on the market and performing a common procedure used in all modern biochemistry or
molecular biology laboratories.
There are many little "tricks" that cannot be fully written down – that is why we have not
provided copies of the Bio-Rad equipment manual (~30 pages). Please pay attention, use your
common sense, and ask questions during the demonstrations.

3. While the binding of Coomassie blue to proteins can lead to accurate measurements of
protein concentration, there are situations where the absorbance values could be misleading.
For example, detergents are often used in the purification of proteins. Certain detergents mixed
in with the dye could lead to incorrect determinations of protein concentration. Take a look at
the spectrum of the detergent polysorbate 80, above. If you had used this detergent to purify
the protein in part c above, would you expect it to interfere with your concentration
calculations? Why or why not?

The purification continues with a cation exchange step in which the positively charged cytochrome C protein is separated from negatively charged DNA and other proteins. The cation exchange eluate (volume of solution collected) had a total volume of 42.0 mL and a 1.0 mL aliquot was set aside for further analysis. The following data was obtained from the 1.0 mL aliquot to quantify the protein amount and purity:
The absorbance at 410 nm of the aliquot was diluted 5-fold was 0.474 (1 cm pathlength).
The absorbance at 595 nm from a 1.0 mL Bradford Assay solution that was diluted by 100-fold from the aliquot was 0.195 (1 cm pathlength).
Using the information given,
Calculate the total protein amount in mg from the absorbance at 595 nm.

Exercise 1: Standard Curve for Protein Measurements:
A standard curve for protein concentration is often created using known concentrations of bovine serum albumin (protein).
This process is called the Bradford Assay; it is a colorimetric assay. A special reagent turns blue when it binds to amino
acids present in protein. The intensity of the color is best measured with a spectrophotometer (a device for comparing two
light radiations, wavelength by wavelength). In the case of the Bradford Assay the greater the absorbance, the higher the
protein concentration.
