描述
Novex 10% Zymogram Plus (Gelatin) gels are useful for the detection and characterization of proteases that use gelatin as a substrate. The proteases are run under denaturing conditions and visualized as clear bands against a dark background using a simple renaturing, developing, and staining protocol. Zymogram gels are commonly used to detect matrix metalloproteinases. Novex 10% Zymogram Plus gels are highly sensitive, detecting as little as 5 x 10-6 units of collagenase.
Formulation: Novex Zymogram Plus gels are Tris-glycine gels with 0.1% gelatin incorporated into the gel. They are made with high-purity, strictly quality-controlled reagents: Tris base, HCl, acrylamide, bisacrylamide, TEMED, APS, highly purified water, and casein or gelatin as the substrate. All have a 4% stacking gel.
Choose the right gel format for your experiments Novex 10% Zymogram Plus gels come in a fixed concentration of 10% gelatin and three different well formats, including 10-, 12- and 15-well.
Recommended buffers: Use
Novex Tris-Glycine SDS Sample Buffer and
Novex Tris-Glycine SDS Running Buffer with these gels.
Novex Zymogram Renaturing Buffer and
Novex Zymogram Developing Buffer are also recommended.
