Protocols

Our project deals with E.coli cells which sense Auto-inducing peptides (AIPs) from the Staphylococcus aureus and starts producing Antimicrobial peptides in order to kill the Staphylococcus aureus. Different protocols used during the project are described below.


Tricine Gels

Tricine Gels are ideal for peptides and low molecular weight proteins (less than 10 kDa). The Tricine Gels are based on the Tricine system developed by (Schaegger and vonJagow, 1987). In this buffer system, tricine substitutes glycine in the running buffer resulting in more efficient stacking and destacking of low molecular weight proteins and higher resolution of smaller peptides. Tricine gels must be used with denatured or reduced proteins only. The separating range of Tricine gels is 2.5-200 kDa.

Requirements:

  1. Protein sample
  2. Deionized water
  3. Low molecular weight Protein markers
  4. Tricine SDS Sample Buffer (Given cross refernce)
  5. Reducing Agent for reduced samples (Optional)
  6. Tricine SDS Running Buffer (Given cross refernce)
Preparing samples

The Tricine SDS Sample Buffer (2X) and Reducing Agent (10X) are available from Life Technologies (Invitrogen).

  1. Prepare reduced or non-reduced samples for Tricine gels as described below:

  2. Note:For reduced sample, add the reducing agent immediately prior to electrophoresis to obtain the best results.
    Reagent Reduced Sample Non-reduced Sample
    Sample x µL x µL

    SDS Sample Buffer (2X) 5 µL 5 µL
    Reducing Agent (10X) 1 µL -
    Deionized Water to 4 µL to 5 µL
    Total Volume 10 µL 10 µL
