Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Polyacrylamide gels that offer high resolution as electrophoretic media for protein separations and an improved resistance to hydrolysis upon storage are made by including either taurine, asparagine, or both as an ampholyte, in combination with either tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane or bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino-tris(hydroxymethyl)methane as a buffer, plus other conventional components.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A polyacrylamide gel comprising: a buffer selected from the group consisting of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino-tris(hydroxymethyl)methane, and taurine at a concentration of from about 100 mM to about 300 mM, in a gel matrix consisting of crosslinked polyacrylamide, said polyacrylamide gel having a pH of from about 6.4 to about 7.0. 2. The polyacrylamide gel of claim 1 wherein said crosslinked po…
