Recombinant protein or a chemically synthesized bioactive fragment is immobilized on resin and used as a probe to capture interacting proteins directly from a cell extract. Affinity-purified proteins are fractionated by gel electrophoresis and visualized by Coomassie staining. Proteins that interact specifically are identified by comparing this gel profile to one obtained from cell lysates passed over a control resin lacking the immobilized probe protein. - [Read Affinity Purification of Interacting Proteins from Cell Lysates Protocol]

Alkaline agarose gels are used chiefly to measure the size of first and second strands of cDNA (Construction of cDNA Libraries Stage 1: Synthesis of First-strand cDNA Catalyzed by Reverse Transcriptase) and to analyze the size of the DNA strand after digestion of DNA-RNA hybrids with nucleases such as S1. - [Read Alkaline Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Protocol]
Analysis of DNA Fragmentation Using Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Shailaja Kasibhatla et al. This protocol provides a qualitative method for assessing cell death by detecting DNA fragments using agarose gel electrophoresis. One of the classic features of apoptosis is the cleavage of the genomic DNA into oligonucleosomal fragments represented by multiples of 180-200 bp. Visualizing these fragments can aid in characterizing an apoptotic event. May be combined with more quantitative methods. - [Read Analysis of DNA Fragmentation Using Agarose Gel Electrophoresis (Subscription Required)]

Protocol for direct retrieval of DNA fragments from pulsed-field gels. A gel slice containing a fragment of DNA resolved by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis is treated with agarase. The released DNA can be used as a substrate for ligation or restriction without further purification. - [Read Direct Retrieval of DNA Fragments from Pulsed-field Gels Protocol]

Sequencing conditions tested for the ABI Big-Dye terminators (PE-ABI #4303150 for the 1000 reaction kit - Description: TF,KIT BTD RR-1000) with various templates. Important to quantitate all templates by agarose gel electrophoresis vs size and concentration standards and do a few tests with different template concentrations to determine the optimal conditions for your reactions. Several conditions are given. - [Read Dye Protocols and Notes for Cosmid, BAC, BAC, Fosmid Templates]
Protocol describes a method for performing isoelectric fractionation of a maize embryo sample using a multicompartment electrolyzer(MCE). This prefractionation of proteins having pIs within a certain pH interval is essential for allowing high loads of protein to be resolved on narrow and ultra-narrow immobilized pH gradients used in 2D electrophoresis. The isoelectric membranes in the MCE act like isoelectric traps capturing all the protein species having pIs encompassing the pI value of each... - [Read Fractionation of Maize Embryo Proteins for 2-D Gel Electrophoresis Using Multicompartment Electrolyz]
A Single Stranded Plasmid DNA Isolation Protocol describing the production and isolation of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) using bacteriophagemid-containing bacteria and helper phage. Infection of the host cells with helper phage allows for packaging of ssDNA into bacteriophage. The ssDNA can then be isolated from phage particles.
Histone H1 Kinase Activity Assay Protocol. This protocol describes assaying kinase activity of a putative kinase using Histone H1 as the substrate. Histone H1 is the canonical kinase substrate in this type of assay. Phosphorylation of Histone H1 is assessed by SDS-Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography.
