A first step in characterizing a protein often involves determining its
molecular weight. From this information, different proteins may be compared and
the number of amino acid residues in a protein can be determined. Here, students
determine the molecular weight of two unknown proteins by comparing their
electrophoretic migration with the migration of standard proteins. The protein
standards and unknowns have been pre-stained so that your students can follow
their
progress during the separation. Includes instructions, prestained Unknown
Protein #1,Unknown Protein #2, Standard Proteins, and Rabbit Serum. Requires
four 12 well gels for 8 groups of students or two gels for 6 groups.
