For better resolution of protein, what percentage will be better, and also for two different buffer ( for stacking and resolving buffer) only Tris-Cl of pH 6.8 and Tris-Cl of pH 8.8 is required or should I add SDS in to it to make it Tris-SDS ?
Man, its been awhile since I poured my own gels. But I do seem to remember that you should not use tris-HCl, but tris-glycine.
You don't need to have SDS in the acrylamide, just in the running buffer.
Their is no perfect gel concentration/composition for all proteins.
You can read this protocol which is very instructive to help to design your experiment.

I am getting Km value of a mutant which is similar to its wild type. How it is possible ? The residue is quite important for substrate binding. Is it possible ? please suggest !
