Slab gel electrophoresis of oligomeric proteins under high hydrostatic pressure. I. Description of the system and demonstration of the pressure dissociation of a dimer

A high-pressure bomb was constructed to study the gel electrophoretic behavior of oligomeric proteins under pressure. The apparatus designed by us allows the use of a polyacrylamide slab gel with a capacity of up to 12 wells, therefore permitting the study of several samples in one experiment. The e...
