Abstract
Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) is used to separate proteins with relative molecular mass no smaller than 10 KD. Very small proteins (<10 KD) are difficult to resolve due to low ability of binding to SDS, which can be solved by gradient gels or using different eletrophoresis conditions, like Tricine-SDS-page. The basic Laemmli SDS PAGE procedure is described here.
