Radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (RIPA buffer) is a lysis buffer used to lyse cells and tissue for the radio immunoprecipitation assay (RIPA). [1] [2] This buffer is more denaturing than NP-40 or Triton X-100 because it contains the ionic detergents SDS and sodium deoxycholate as active constituents and is particularly useful for disruption of nuclear membranes in the preparation of ...
RIPA buffer is a commonly used lysis buffer for immunoprecipitation and general protein extraction from cells and tissues. The buffer can be stored without vanadate at 4 °C for up to 1 year. [10] RIPA buffer releases proteins from cells as well as disrupts most weak interactions between proteins. [9] Recipe: [10] 1% (w/w) Nonidet P-40 (NP-40)
NUN buffer is a solution that makes it possible to purify proteins located in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. [1] Although other procedures are available [ 2 ] they result in loss of albumin D-box binding protein (DBP) which is unwanted if nuclear signal pathways are to be investigated.
TAE buffer is a buffer solution containing a mixture of Tris base, acetic acid and EDTA. In molecular biology, it is used in agarose electrophoresis typically for the separation of nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA. [1] It is made up of Tris-acetate buffer, usually at pH 8.3, and EDTA, which sequesters divalent cations.
RNA partitions in the aqueous phase, while proteins and DNA partition into the organic/interphase (left). The RNA is then precipitated in an alcohol (right). Acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform extraction (abbreviated AGPC) is a liquid–liquid extraction technique in biochemistry and molecular biology.
The choice of buffer also affects the electrophoretic mobility of the buffer counterions and thereby the resolution of the gel. The buffer should also be unreactive and not modify or react with most proteins. Different buffers may be used as cathode and anode buffers, respectively, depending on the application.
Proteins of the erythrocyte membrane separated by SDS-PAGE according to their molecular masses. SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) is a discontinuous electrophoretic system developed by Ulrich K. Laemmli which is commonly used as a method to separate proteins with molecular masses between 5 and 250 kDa.
For example, for the protein alkaline phosphatase, the staining solution is a mixture of 4-chloro-2-2methylbenzenediazonium salt with 3-phospho-2-naphthoic acid-2'-4'-dimethyl aniline in Tris buffer. This stain is commercially sold as a kit for staining gels.
