Abstract:
To establish the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis system of Dendrobium nobile flower bud proteins and gain a higher reproducibility and resolution, the proteins of D. nobile flower bud were extracted by optimized phenol method. The sample was passively rehydrated by dissolving in 40-fold (w/v) rehydration solution. Isoelectric focusing was performed in Program B2, using 24 cm pH 3-10NL gradient IPG strip and 12% SDS-PAGE. The gel was stained with Coomassie brilliant blue G-250. By this modified method, the 2-D electrophoretic maps of the D. nobile flower bud proteins showed 1 422 protein spots, with high repeatability and high resolution. This work provides a good method for proteomic analysis of D. nobile flower buds.
