Fig. 14. Determination of optimal %T for 96 kD and 98 kD key hole limpet he mo cyanin proteins. The breakpoint of the curve is
con sidered the monomer concentration for optimal separation. In this case a 7%T/2.67%C monomer concentration is indicated.
Based on optimal %T data obtained from analytical mini-gels, subsequent prepara tive run conditions were
as shown in Table 7.

Fig. 15. Crude keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) analyzed by SDS-PAGE. A, The locations of the 96 kD and the 98 kD bands are
indicated. B, SDS-PAGE analysis of aliquots taken from Model 491 prep cell fractions. The Model 491 prep cell separated the two
subunits of keyhole limpet hemo cyanin into two consecutive sets of six 2.5 ml nonoverlapping fractions. Crude KLH was run in about
every fourth lane. The 96 kD protein eluted in frac tions 110–115. The 98 kD protein eluted in fractions 116–117. There was no overlap.
