Protein Based Techniques Flashcards
Protein based analyses are
SDS-PAGE
2D Protein Electrophoresis
…
SDS-PAGE
Separates proteins based on size
SDS is an ionic detergent
2D Protein Electrophoresis
Separates proteins firstly on the basis of isoelectric points (pI), then size
Dimensions of 2D Protein Electrophoresis
1D: separation of proteins based on pI points (IEG or IPG)
2D: separation of proteins based on sizes (SDS-PAGE)
Important points of 2D Protein Electrophoresis
Best way to separate protein molecules
Exact identification of proteins with same size and different aa sequences
Genomics, Transcriptomics, Proteomics
Genomics: targets DNA
Transcriptomics: targets expressed genes
Proteomics: targets proteins
Genes (expressed or suppressed) in proteins?
All of mRNA is converted to proteins
All of them are EXPRESSED genes
