How To Do Gel Electrophoresis Welcome to the Project Lead the Way Virtual Academy tutorial How to Do Gel Electrophoresis.

Gel Electrophoresis Overview What is gel electrophoresis? What physics principles are used? How is DNA electrophoresis done? In this tutorial, you will learn * what gel electrophoresis is, * what principles of physics the process utilizes, * and how DNA electrophoresis is done.

What is Gel Electrophoresis? Compares sizes: DNA RNA Protein Gel electrophoresis is a process used to separate fragments of DNA, RNA, or protein based on their size or charge.

What are the basic principles behind gel electrophoresis? - + Movement in an electric field Separation by size Fragments of DNA or Protein in Gel Matrix In order to tease apart the tiny particles in a sample while sorting them by size, gel electrophoresis uses two basic principles in an ingenious way. * First, an electric field is applied which causes the charged particles to move, * and second, the particles move through a gel matrix that separates them by size.

What are the basic principles behind gel electrophoresis? - Movement in an electrical field Charged particles move in an electric field DNA fragments (-) move toward positive region - Many molecules, including DNA, have an electrical charge in their natural state. Other molecules, for example some proteins, may be neutral, and these molecules can be made to have a charge by altering the pH or by adding ions to the buffer. *Charged molecules placed in an electric field will migrate under its influence. The charged molecules will move to the pole with the opposite charge. Remember, opposites attract. * DNA has a negative charge due to the phosphate molecules in the backbone, so DNA will migrate towards the positive region in an electrical field. +

What basic principles are behind gel electrophoresis? Separation by Size Porous gel acts like a sieve Large particles slower than small ones Same size = same rate = same distance Once the particles begin moving in the electric field, they travel through a gel which helps to separate them by size. * The molecules or fragments migrate through a gel made of agarose or polyacrylamide. The gel is a porous matrix that acts like a sieve or an obstacle course for small particles. * When moving through the gel matrix, the rate of migration of each particle is related to its size. Large particles move slower than small particles. * Molecules or fragments of the same size travel at the same rate, * so particles of the same size travel the same distance. * This creates clusters, or bands, of particles that are the same length.  

How is DNA electrophoresis done? Power Supply The gel electrophoresis device is a clever piece of biotechnical engineering our students will use to analyze and compare fragment sizes in DNA samples. * The device consists of a power supply and a gel box. The type of gel box will vary depending on whether DNA, RNA, or proteins are being separated. The remainder of this lesson will focus on the electrophoresis of DNA fragments using a submarine-style gel box. It is called submarine because the gel is completely submerged under a buffer. Submarine Gel Box

How is DNA electrophoresis done? Prepare Gel Mix proper concentration Pour molten gel into cast Use comb to create wells First, a gel matrix is prepared using agarose and buffer. * The concentration of the agarose in the gel can be altered to control migration speed and improve band resolution. * The molten gel is poured into a casting tray, *and a comb is inserted to create wells, or holes, at one end for samples to be loaded. Sometimes multiple combs are added to the same gel in order to examine additional samples. Comb Casting tray

How is DNA electrophoresis done? Remove comb Place gel in tank Submerge in buffer solution Once the gel solidifies, the comb is removed * and a gel is placed into the tank, * and then the gel is submerged in a buffer solution. This buffer solution conducts the electrical current and maintains the samples at a consistent pH during electrophoresis.

How is DNA electrophoresis done? Load samples Load marker (“yardstick” for size comparisons) * Samples are loaded into their own wells, or lanes, * and a size marker sample containing a set of known particle sizes is added to one lane. This will serve as a “yardstick” to which fragments in the other samples will be compared.

How is DNA electrophoresis done? Apply electrical current to start fragment migration - + An electrical current with a constant voltage is applied to the electrodes located at opposite ends of the gel, * so an electric field is created across the gel. * Molecules or fragments in each sample migrate through the gel, with the smallest particles traveling faster than the larger ones.

How is DNA electrophoresis done? Stain the gel Once the migration of fragments is complete, the gel is removed from its tray and stained so the fragments become visible. * After the staining process, “bands” of same-sized particles for each sample lane come into view.

How is DNA electrophoresis done? marker samples Analyze fragment lengths Compare bands in sample lanes to the bands in the marker lane Same fragment lengths The bands are analyzed to determine the lengths of DNA fragments in each sample. The relative fragment lengths in the samples can be estimated by visually comparing the relative migration distances of the unknown fragments to the migration distances of the known fragments in the marker sample. A more accurate estimate can be made by using a standard curve of the migration distances of the known fragments graphed on semi-log paper. The fragment lengths in each band in each * sample can be determined by finding an * adjacent band of known length in the marker sample. * Adjacent bands have the same fragment length.
