Core histones have been isolated from Schizosaccharomyces pombe and compared electrophoretically to core histones from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and rat liver. The molecular masses of all cognate histones examined were found to be very similar as determined by SDS gel electrophoresis. Histones H3, H2A and H2B from Sch. pombe migrated almost identically to their respective counterparts from S. ce...

Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is capable of resolving large DNA molecules of up to two million nucleotides and is becoming a widely used technique in DNA studies (1—3). Three factors can potentially limit PFGE in a laboratory: 1. the cost of the apparatus, 2. reproducibility of electrophoretic conditions, and 3. unusually long electrophoretic time. To alleviate some of these problems ...

Seven buffer and gel systems for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using discontinuous voltage and pH gradients (disc electrophoresis according to ORNSTEIN-UAVIS) and five systems using discontinuous voltage gradients at constant pH (according to ALLEN) have been compiled and characterized. Usefulness and applicability of the systems for clinical investigations are discussed and illustrated by...

Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) of serum proteins is increasingly gaining impact in clinical laboratories. In this report, we evaluate automated capillary zone electrophoresis by Capillarys (Sebia, France). Within-run and between-run imprecision for the five electrophoretic fractions was <2% and <6%, respectively. Data obtained with Capillarys correlated with results obtained with agarose ...

crystalline arrays of proteinaceous subunits forming surface layers (s-layers) are now recognized as one of the most common outermost cell envelope components of prokaryotic organisms. the surface layer protein of lactobacillus acidophilus atcc4356 is composed of a single species of protein of apparent molecular weight of 43-46 kda. considering the lactobacillus acidophilus atcc4356 having the ...
