Developing Optimized Protein Molecular Weight Markers Applicable to SDS-PAGE and Western Blot Assays

Yoshitaka Shibata

Molecular weight markers are essential tools to measure protein sizes by gel electrophoresis. However, conventional markers are not detected in Western blots which use antibodies to recognize specific proteins. We are developing protein molecular weight markers that contain a universal antibody binding domain. These recombinant proteins can be detected in polyacrylamide gels via Coomassie Blue staining and also in Western blots via antibodies.
