pAcGFP1 Vector

AcGFP1 is a monomeric protein

AcGFP1 is a monomeric protein. Panel A. Recombinant AcGFP1 protein was analyzed by FPLC gel filtration chromatography. Overall protein absorbance (A280) and chromophore excitation (A477) of the eluted material were monitored simultaneously. AcGFP1 elutes from the column at a retention time corresponding to a molecular weight of 24 kDa. The calculated molecular weight of AcGFP1 is 26.9 kDa. Panel B. Recombinant AcGFP1 protein was analyzed by sucrose density ultracentrifugation using a continuous gradient. Panel C. Pseudonative gel analysis of proteins. The oligomeric structure of proteins is preserved during SDS-PAGE analysis if samples are kept at 4°C and not boiled prior to loading on a gel. Boiled and unboiled recombinant proteins (7.5 μg) were separated by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis (12 acrylamide). In both the boiled (denatured) and unboiled (nondenatured) samples, AcGFP1 runs as a uniform band of ~30 kDa due to its monomeric structure. The unboiled (nondenatured) DsRed-Express runs at a much higher molecular weight than its denatured (boiled) counterpart due to its oligomeric structure.
