I have a protein of molecular mass 400 kDa? What is the required protein gel concentration for both stacking and resolving gel?
Generally To resolve a protein of molecular weight 400KDa, 7% Resolving SDS-PAGE Gel is sufficient. stacking gel percentage is 5%.
7% Resolving gel can resolve proteins with molecular weight ranging 50KDa-500KDa.
Hope it helps.
In general white opaque plates are recommended for luminescence, transparent for absorbance and black for fluorescence assays respectively. My question is if we can use black bottom plates for...
