Blue native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - a functional approach to plant plasma membrane proteome studies
In this thesis, I have shown that a method called BN-PAGE (a kind of native gel electrophoresis) can be used for studying the protein composition in the plasma membrane of plants. The method enables the study of native (in the functional units) hydrophobic protein complexes, i.e., the membrane proteins and membrane associated proteins that form complexes in the cell. In the method, the protein com
