Proteome Analysis July 1, 2009 Learning objectives. Understand the theoretical basis of 2D-SDS Gel Electrophoresis. Understand the latest technique for identifying proteins using mass spectrometry. Become familiar with the SWISS-2DPAGE Database Workshop on identifying proteins with the pI, MW and a few peptide masses.
What is the proteome? genome transcriptome proteome metabolome
2D-SDS Gel Electrophoresis What is it? This is a method for the separation and identification of proteins in a sample by displacement in 2 dimensions oriented at right angles to one another. Proteins separate over a large area, having a greater chance of resolution.
First dimension Separation by isoelectric point Isoelectric point-pH at which the net charge on the molecule is zero

2nd Dimension-to separate by size Five steps: 1. Isolate proteins 2. Denature proteins 3. Load onto gel 4. Apply voltage gradient 5. Stain
