Perhaps you should have a look at http://193.146.160.29/gtb/sod/usu/$UBUG/repositorio/10320076_Hawkins.pdf. and at An introduction to methods for analyzing thiols and disulfides: Reactions, reagents, and practical considerations. Rosa E. Hansen 1, Jakob R. Winther Analytical Biochemistry 394

Even so, it should run somewhat differently, and probably visibly on SDS-PAGE. Even a single phosphorylation changes mobility, and I think I remember having seen intramolecular disulfides change mobility (anyone else have experience on this?) JPK On Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 10:33 PM, Yuri

I never done such experiments but N-Ethylmaleimide labeling and Mass-Spec could be the solution. Le 6 févr. 2013 à 17:10, Yuri Pompeu yuri.pom...@ufl.edu a écrit : Dear All, I am trying to probe the existence of a disulfide bond on the surface of my protein. I have attempted Ellman´s and

Hi, to my knowledge, Ellman's reagent detects free thiols only. (Or am I wrong?) In contrast, with the method of Thannhauser (Thannhauser [1987], Methods Enzymol. 143, 115-9) you can determine the total amount of thiols (free and in disulfide bonds). Any difference between the two methods

Couldn't you just run reducing/non-reducing SDS-PAGE lanes and see the difference? JPK On Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 11:10 AM, Yuri Pompeu yuri.pom...@ufl.edu wrote: Dear All, I am trying to probe the existence of a disulfide bond on the surface of my protein. I have attempted Ellman´s and my
