Molecular Separation
![Page 5: Molecular Biology Course Outline 2007](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/568146bd550346895db3f440/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5-5
Gel Electrophoresis
• Gel electrophoresis is used to separate different species of: – Nucleic acid– Protein
![Page 6: Molecular Biology Course Outline 2007](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/568146bd550346895db3f440/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
5-6
DNA Gel Electrophoresis
• Melted agarose is poured into a form equipped with removable comb
• Comb “teeth” form slots in the solidified agarose
• DNA samples are placed in the slots
• An electric current is run through the gel at a neutral pH
![Page 7: Molecular Biology Course Outline 2007](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/568146bd550346895db3f440/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
5-7
DNA Separation by Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
• DNA is negatively charged due to phosphates in its backbone and moves to anode, the positive pole– Small DNA pieces have little
frictional drag so move rapidly– Large DNAs have more frictional
drag so their mobility is slower– Result distributes DNA according to
size• Largest near the top• Smallest near the bottom
• DNA is stained with fluorescent dye
![Page 8: Molecular Biology Course Outline 2007](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/568146bd550346895db3f440/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
5-8
DNA Size Estimation
• Comparison with standards permits size estimation
• Mobility of fragments are plotted v. log of molecular weight (or number of base pairs)
• Electrophoresis of unknown DNA in parallel with standard fragments permits size estimation
• Same principles apply to RNA separation
![Page 9: Molecular Biology Course Outline 2007](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/568146bd550346895db3f440/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
5-9
Electrophoresis of Large DNA
• Special techniques are required for DNA fragments larger than about 1 kilobases
• Instead of constant current, alternate long pulses of current in forward direction with shorter pulses in either opposite or sideways direction
• Technique is called pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE)
![Page 10: Molecular Biology Course Outline 2007](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/568146bd550346895db3f440/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
5-10
Protein Gel Electrophoresis• Separation of proteins is done using a gel
made of polyacrylamide (polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis = PAGE)– Treat proteins to denature subunits with detergent
such as SDS• SDS coats polypeptides with negative charges so all
move to anode
• Masks natural charges of protein subunits so all move relative to mass not charge
– As with DNA smaller proteins move faster toward the anode
![Page 11: Molecular Biology Course Outline 2007](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/568146bd550346895db3f440/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
![Page 12: Molecular Biology Course Outline 2007](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/568146bd550346895db3f440/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Summary
• DNAs, RNAs, and proteins of various masses can be separated by gel electrophoresis
• Most common gel used in nucleic acid electrophoresis is agarose
• Polyacrylamide is usually used in protein electrophoresis
• SDS-PAGE is used to separate polypeptides according to their masses

Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis
![Page 14: Molecular Biology Course Outline 2007](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/568146bd550346895db3f440/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ion-Exchange Chromatography
• Uses a resin to separate substrances according to their charges
• DEAE-Sephadex chromotography uses an ion-exchange resin that contains positively charged diethylaminorthyl (DEAE) group.
• These positive charges attract negatively charged substances, including proteins.
• Phosphocellular is commonly used negatively charged resin.
![Page 15: Molecular Biology Course Outline 2007](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052603/568146bd550346895db3f440/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Gel Filtration Chromatography
• Uses columns filled with porous resins that let in smaller substances, but exclude larger ones.
• The smaller substances are slowed in their journey through the column, but larger substances travel relatively rapidly through the column.

Immunoblots
Immunoblots (also called Western blots) use a similar process to Southern blots
– Electrophoresis of proteins– Blot the proteins from the gel to a membrane– Detect the protein using antibody or antiserum
to the target protein– Labeled secondary antibody is used to bind the
first antibody and increase the signal

Finding RNA sequences that interact with other molecules
• SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment)
• RNAs that interact with a target molecule are selected by affinity chromatography, then converted to double-stranded DNAs and amplified by PCR.
