Protein & DNA-staining Experiment

1. Rxn Mixtures

Tube Lane Thrombin mass (μg) 2 μM thrombin (μL)
(2 μM = 1.299 μg/μL)
water (μL) 10x loading dye (μL) total volume (μL)
1 1 0.65 0.5 8.5 2.0 11.0
2 2 1.3 1.0 8.0 2.0 11.0
3 3 2.6 2.0 7.0 2.0 11.0
4 4 3.9 3.0 6.0 2.0 11.0
5 5 5.2 4.0 5.0 2.0 11.0
Tube Lane 2 μM Aptamer (μL) water (μL) 10x loading dye (μL) total volume (μL)
1 7 1.0 8.0 3.0 12.0
2 8 2.0 7.0 3.0 12.0
3 9 3.0 6.0 3.0 12.0
4 10 4.0 5.0 3.0 12.0
5 11 5.0 4.0 3.0 12.0

2. Protocol

   - gel run @ 25V, 4C for 2.5 hrs. (dye appears to have diffused sideways rather than traveling downwards)
   - gel cut into DNA & protein sections after removal from cartridge (slight tearing towards bottom)
   - protein section stained w/ GelCode Blue Stain (Coomassie Blue)  for 1 hr.
   - DNA section stained w/ 10μL EtBr in 100 mL Tris-glycine buffer for 1 hr.

3. Results

   - both sections showed no bands
   - possible reasons: buffer? the gel itself?
