Popis: The applicability and reproducibility of a previously described (L. F. Hermansen et al., Electrophoresis 1993, 14, 1302-1306) centrifuge-blotting procedure for capturing subnanomolar amounts of protein on polyvinylidene difluoride membranes for direct Edman degradation was further investigated. Proteins with different molecular masses were centrifuge-blotted onto Immobilon CD membranes. Simultaneous blotting and desalting was achieved with an overall yield of 15-56% after 2 h centrifugation for proteins with a molecular mass of 12-30 kDa. Centrifugation of myoglobin for 6 h resulted in an overall yield of 72%. The subnanomolar amounts obtained were also sufficient to conduct cyanogen bromide cleavage in situ on proteins with blocked NH2-terminus and to generate sequence information.
