    SDS Sample Buffer
    Posted by: EANON (IP Hidden, Junior member, 19)

    I am running a tagged protein on an SDS-PAGE. When I immunoblot for the tag, I see the strong band (and nothing in the control). However, this appears at a much higher MW than expected. I suspect my protein is migrating as a complex.

    Does anybody what ingredient I can add to the SDS sample buffer or modification to the protocol to separate the protein from the complex?

    If you were running non-denaturing native gel and want to change to denaturing SDS-PAGE to disrupt any protein complexes. Here is the sample buffer you can use:

    SDS 0.5g
    beta-Mercaptoethanol 0.25ml
    in 50ml Tris-HCl pH 6.8 buffer and add bromophenol blue.

    You may also try boiling the samples for 3-5 minutes before loading them into the gel. this will also help denature the proteins.
