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...

A high-pressure bomb was constructed to study the gel electrophoretic behavior of oligomeric proteins under pressure.

The electrophoresis mobility of different single-chain proteins under pressure decreased in the same proportion and the elution pattern was similar to that of the control run at atmospheric pressure. Densitometric analysis of the gel did not show peak spread or asymmetric boundaries, indicating that their conformations were not drastically affected.
