Good afternoon,
I try to extract cell wall proteins from green macroalgae, I have tried different protocols and one of them included step of EGTA extraction, however this fraction is jelly like, so I expect polysaccharides from cell wall to be present. When loaded to SDS-PAGE, it was obvious that the gel pores were blocked and no bends were obtained, just light blue streak. According to Bradford, in this fraction I have quite a lot of proteins with which I would like to do Western Blot... I have already tried aceton precipitation, but still a lot of polysaccharides remained....So please do you have any recommendations how to get rid of these polysaccharides?
Thank you very much,
Tereza
