Edvotek™ Purification and Size Determination of Green and Blue Fluorescent Proteins

Description

Includes

• Instructions
• Columns and matrix
• GFP and BFP extracts
• Buffer
• Protein gel reagents for optional activity

The unique fluorescent properties of GFP and BFP will be used as an assay during their purification from an E. coli extract.

When bacteria are used to make medicinally useful proteins by transformation, the protein of interest must be separated from all of the other cellular proteins.

• Unique fluorescent properties of GFP and BFP are used as an assay during their purification from an E. coli extract
• Column fractions containing GFP or BFP are identified by fluorescence and then purified
• As an optional activity, purified protein fractions can be separated by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to estimate the purity and size of the GFP and BFP proteins

Experiment times:

• Packing and running column, 45 minutes
• Optional electrophoresis, one hour
• Staining, 30 minutes
• Destaining, two hours

All You Need

• water bath
• long wave UV lamp
• ring stand; clamps
• automatic micropipet
• vertical gel electrophoresis apparatus
• power supply
• hot plate
• polyacrylamide gels (12%)
