    Abstract:
    A highly porous and efficient discontinuous sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis system is described. The slab get consists of two porous layers of acrylamide of the following composition: 4% acrylamide, 0.04% bisacrylamide for the stacking gel, and 10% acrylamide, 0.1% bisacrylamide for the separating gel, both layers having different buffers. The separating gel mixture (final pH 9.0) and the buffers of the electrode chamber (pH 8.45) consist of Tris and glycine in such a ratio that no acid or base is necessary to adjust the pH. The resulting gel system has the following advantages: (a) it is able to resolve the components from large-volume samples (up to 200 microliter) after an overnight electrophoresis run while still maintaining the capacity to produce very sharp bands; (b) it has a high and broad resolution, allowing the separation on the same gel of proteins with apparent molecular masses between 10,000 and 450,000 Da; (c) it is very easy to prepare and shows excellent reproducibility in the electrophoretic patterns; (d) when used as a second dimension in tandem with isoelectric focusing, it improves the resolving power of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis; and finally, (e) its low crosslinker-to-acrylamide ratio allows the effective and rapid transfer of proteins to nitrocellulose membrane, thus improving the usefulness of protein blotting. In all cases, adrenal medullary chromaffin cell proteins were used as test samples.
