Workflow of Protein Isoform Analysis by CE-SDS

    Understanding the composition and characteristics of protein isoforms is crucial in protein research and development, especially in drug development and quality control. Capillary Electrophoresis-Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Gel Electrophoresis (CE-SDS) is an efficient and precise analytical method widely used for protein isoform analysis.

     

    Sample Preparation

    1. Sample Preparation

    Dissolve the protein sample in an appropriate buffer to ensure uniform dispersion.

     

    2. Reduction Treatment

    Add a reducing agent (such as mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol) to break the disulfide bonds in the protein.

     

    3. Denaturation Treatment

    Add SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) to fully denature the protein, allowing it to carry a uniform negative charge for subsequent electrophoretic separation.

     

    Separation

    1. Capillary Filling

    Select an appropriate capillary and pre-treat it with a filling solution (usually a buffer containing SDS).

     

    2. Sample Injection

    Introduce the treated protein sample into the capillary by electrokinetic or pressure injection.

     

    3. Electrophoretic Separation

    Under the electric field, the protein sample undergoes electrophoretic separation in the capillary. SDS coating ensures the separation is mainly based on molecular weight.

     

    Detection

    1. Detector Selection

    Typically, a UV detector or fluorescence detector (FL) is used for detecting the separated proteins.

     

    2. Data Collection

    The detector records the migration time and peak area of each protein component during electrophoresis.

     

    Data Analysis

    1. Data Processing

    Use specialized software to process the electrophoretic data, including peak identification, baseline correction, and peak area calculation.

     

    2. Isoform Identification

    Compare the electrophoretic profile with known protein standards to identify the specific composition of each isoform.

     

    3. Result Reporting

    Compile the analysis results and generate a detailed report, including the proportion and characteristics of each isoform.

     

    Due to its high resolution and sensitivity, CE-SDS protein isoform analysis is widely used in biopharmaceuticals, proteomics, and structural biology, providing robust technical support for protein research. MtoZ Biolabs provides integrate CE-SDS protein isoform analysis service.
