Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis for Protein Separation of Plant Samples

Methods Mol Biol. 2024:2787:281-291. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3778-4_19.

Abstract

This chapter provides a description of the procedure for two-dimensional electrophoresis that can be performed for any given gel size and isoelectric focusing range. This will enable the operator to recognize critical steps and gain sufficient information to generate 2D images suitable for computer-assisted analysis of 2D-gel, as well as mass spectrometry analysis for protein identification and characterization.

Keywords: Gel documentation; Immobilized pH-gradient; Isoelectric focusing; MS-compatible silver staining; SDS-PAGE.
