Comigration standard

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DNA bands under UV light: the comigration standard is applied to the left and appears as a “ladder”

As a molecular-weight size marker or Comigrationsstandard (colloquially size markers , size ladder ) is referred to in the biochemistry and molecular biology, a sample of known composition in gel electrophoresis , or gel permeation chromatography is used separation method, a size comparison of the molecules in the sample to enable unknown composition. The migration of the substances contained, for example proteins or DNA , in the sample of known composition (protein or DNA conductor ) is compared with the migration of the sample of unknown composition. The same migration distance in the gel indicates the same electrophoretic running properties. The same running properties can be achieved with gel electrophoresis, which have a direct connection between the electrophoretic mobility and the molar mass (e.g. proteins via SDS-PAGE , DNA and RNA via agarose gel electrophoresis ) to determine the molar mass of the molecules contained in the sample be used.

DNA markers

DNA markers are used in agarose gel electrophoresis and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis . One of the earlier DNA markers was bacteriophage λ DNA cut with the restriction enzyme Hind III . Another DNA marker was the DNA cut with HaeIII from bacteriophage X174. The sizes of the fragments were at irregular distances from one another. By ligation of fragments 100 base pairs in length, a DNA ladder with these same distances can be created. Longer DNA sequences with regular restriction cleavage sites were also generated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and then partially cut with the restriction endonuclease SmaI . Furthermore, exclusively PCR-based methods for generating DNA ladders were developed.

Protein markers

Protein marker in the left lane. Thick bands from top to bottom: 66, 45, 35, 24, 18 and 9 kDa. Purified yeast proteins are separated in the remaining lanes.
