What is a Prestained protein marker?
Thermo Scientific Prestained Protein Molecular Weight Marker is a mixture of six blue-stained natural proteins (20 to 120 kDa) for use as size standards in protein electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).
What are molecular weight markers?
Molecular weight markers, or ladders, are a set of standards that are used for determining the approximate size of a protein or a nucleic acid fragment run on an electrophoresis gel.
How can you determine the native molecular weight of a protein?
Use a graphing program, plot the log (MW) as a function of Rf. Generate the equation y = mx + b, and solve for y to determine the MW of the unknown protein. Run the standards and samples on an SDS-PAGE gel. Process the gel with the desired stain and then destain to visualize the protein bands.
What is the molecular weight range of proteins?
Description. The broad range protein molecular standards include 11 proteins from 6500 to 205,000 daltons for use as molecular weight standards in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
What is the purpose of SDS-PAGE?
SDS-PAGE is an analytical technique to separate proteins based on their molecular weight.
What is unstained protein ladder?
Unstained Protein Ladder is a mixture of 12 recombinant, highly purified proteins, which resolve into clearly identifiable sharp bands from 10-250 kDa when analyzed by SDS-PAGE and stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 (1,2).
Why do we use a molecular weight standard when running our SDS-PAGE gels?
They are commonly used in both SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and western blotting. In SDS-PAGE it allows for the monitoring of protein migration, as the protein bands will separate and can be seen during an electrophoretic run.
Why is a ladder used in gel electrophoresis?
A DNA ladder is a solution of DNA molecules of different lengths used in agarose or acrylamide gel electrophoresis. It is applied as a reference to estimate the size of unknown DNA molecules that were separated based on their mobility in an electrical field through the gel.
How can you determine the molecular weight of a protein by SDS-PAGE?
An apparent molecular weight (MW) of a protein can be determined from the migration distance of a protein complexed with a strong cationic detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).
Which techniques could be used for molecular weight determination of proteins?
SDS gel electrophoresis is commonly used to obtain reliable molecular weight estimates for denatured polypeptides. Other techniques for the determination of very accurate molecular weights include analytical ultracentrifugation and light scattering.
What does protein a bind?
Protein A is a 42-kDa protein found in the cell wall of Staphylococcus aureus. It binds with high affinity the Fc region of immunoglobulins from various species (8).
What is the benefit of a protein ladder molecular weight marker in an SDS-PAGE gel?
In SDS-PAGE it allows for the monitoring of protein migration, as the protein bands will separate and can be seen during an electrophoretic run. In western blots, the stained protein standards allow for the visualization protein transfer onto the membrane.

What’s the difference between Precision Plus and prestained protein standards?
Prestained Protein Ladders. Precision Plus Protein Standards have the same gel migration patterns, with three high-intensity reference bands (25, 50, and 75 kD), and provide exceptional lot-to-lot molecular weight consistency.
