• Draw a scheme of the GA20OX cloning procedure.

Question 1 Why do we study the effect of GA on
alapha-amylase in embryoless seeds and not on
whole seeds? Question 2 Volumes Question 3
Why do we do treatment 4? What is the difference
to treatment 3? Question 4 What is the
"debris"? Question 5 Why is the decrease in
absorbance proportional to the quantity of
alpha-amylase in the reaction mixture? Question
6 What do you do if your absorbance in your
extract is out of the range of your standard
curve?

Western Blot
4
Steps 1. SDS-PAGE 2. Transfer to membrane
"Blotting" 3. Detection of proteins
5
SDS-PAGE SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate PAGE
polyacrylamid electrophoresis
6
The goal is to separate proteins according to
their sizes. How would you do that?

Remember

SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate is a detergent (soap)
that can dissolve hydrophobic molecules but also
has a negative charge (sulfATE) attached to it

Reductant DTT Dithiothreitol B-Mercaptoethanol
The reducing agent beaks any cystine (-S-S-)
bonds formed between two cysteine residues

"Discontinuous" PAGE
Low pH (6.8) Low ionic strength Low Acrylamid
concentration FAST
High pH (8.8) High ionic strength High Acrylamid
concentration SLOW

Visualization of proteins on the gel Coomasie

OR do a western blot Proteins are transferred
to a protein binding membrane. We will use a
nitrocellulose membrane. Polyvinylidene
difluoride (PVDF) is also commonly used.
