Edvotek™ Diversity of Fish Proteins

Description

Includes

Instructions, fish LyphoProtein™ samples, protein molecular weight standards, practice gel-loading solution, buffer and Protein InstaStain™

Determine the relationship between three fish species based on their protein profiles.

Study the diversity of fish with these prestained, lyophilized proteins.

• Students extract and prestain total protein from perch, walleye and salmon using an indicator dye
• After separating each fish protein sample by denaturing SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, students find a characteristic banding pattern Pattern can be used to identify the specific species

Experiment times:

• Electrophoresis, one hour
• Staining, 20 minutes
• Destaining, two hours
