Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis            (SDS-PAGE)

Purpose

        This technique is used for observation of proteins. It separates the molecules on the basis of their molecular charge. It can be used to examine the purity of proteins. For example we are trying to isolate some specific protein from a cell. After some processes we can find out if we have obtained the protein or not by SDS PAGE technique.

        Also it can be used to determine the molecular weight of proteins. The logarithm of the molecular weight of a protein is inversely proportional to its distance from the well. By simply drawing a graph by the values and writing an equation, molecular weight of every protein can be calculated from its distance to the well.

The distance of purified protein=3.9 cm

Molecular weight of purified protein= -0.1872*3.9 + 2.1632

                                                           = 1.43312

                                                           Antilog of 1.43312= 101.43312
