Appendix A:  
Laemmli system gels

The Laemmli system is the most common elec-
trophoresis protocol for SDS-denatured proteins.
The leading ion in this discontinuous buffer
system is chloride and the trailing ion is glycine.
Accordingly, the resolving gel and the stacking gel
contain Tris-Cl buffers (of different concentration
and pH), and the electrophoresis buffer contains
Tris-glycine. All buffers contain 0.1% SDS.

Polyacrylamide gel composition is indicated by two 
different percentages:

% T = total acrylamide = g (acryl + bis) × 100

100 ml

% C = crosslinker =

g (bis)

× 100

g (acryl + bis)
