Proteins
Protein sample preparation is not only essential for optimal purification of your target protein, but crucial for analytical methods such as mass spectrometry, 2-D gel electrophoresis, 1-D SDS-PAGE, and molecular imaging. Although many proteins are easily purified today, the remaining challenges make it worthwhile to gain solid knowledge about protein purification so that appropriate methods can be selected and carried out in an optimal way.
