Talk:Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis

Untitled

"Since the SDS molecules are negatively charged, the result of this is that all of the proteins will have approximately the same mass-to-charge ratio as each other. Next, an electric potential is again applied, but at a 90 degree angle from the first field. The proteins will be attracted to the more negative side of the gel proportionally to their mass-to-charge ratio."

If it's negatively charged, wouldn't it be attracted to the positif side instead of the negative one ?

That is exactly my concern as well.

SDS does impart a negative charge to the particle, but is then subsequently attracted to the POSITIVE pole when a charge is applied to the gel.

Also, strictly shouldn't it be size/charge not mass/charge?

The technique was introduced by Klose, 1975; O'Farrell, 1975; Scheele, 1975. Earlier publications did not include a detergent in the second dimension.

What about 2D Blue native page?

This article assumes that the only 1st dimension PAGE technique available is isoelectrofocussing; in my knowledge, there are other valid 1st dimension PAGEs which are commonly used (see: blue native PAGE, for instance). Another technique I read about in various papers (viral protein separation) used a 2D PAGE where the first dimension used a cathionic detergent. This article would greatly benefit from a broader approach.

Membrane (hydrophobic) proteins in SDS-PAGE gels

2D page methods are reportedly not good for membrane protein separation due to their low tolerance for % of SDS in isoelectric focusing buffers. [1] Could be useful information to include on this page bucas :) (talk) 15:28, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
