Protein imprinting in polyacrylamide-based gels

Shape Imprinting Due to Variable Disulfide Bonds in Polyacrylamide Gels

Polyacrylamide gels with electrostatic functional groups for the molecular imprinting of lysozyme

The system of polyacrylamide incorporated with methacrylic acid and 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate was studied for the possibility of imprinting of lysozyme. The results show that approximately 27% (w/w) of the lysozyme template was not able to be extracted from the molecularly imprinted acrylamide polymers. The amount of the lysozyme template able to be extracted was increased by the addi...

Photopolymerized cross-linked polyacrylamide gels for on-chip protein sizing.

A new method for on-chip sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of proteins is reported. Miniaturization of SDS-PAGE has attracted significant attention because it offers rapid analysis times, excellent resolution, high throughput, and the potential for integration and automation, as compared to conventional counterparts. The presented on-chip SDS-PAGE technique em...

Photopatterned free-standing polyacrylamide gels for microfluidic protein electrophoresis.

Designed for compatibility with slab-gel polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) reagents and instruments, we detail development of free-standing polyacrylamide gel (fsPAG) microstructures supporting electrophoretic performance rivalling that of microfluidic platforms. For the protein electrophoresis study described here, fsPAGE lanes are comprised of a sample reservoir and contiguous separat...
