What is an issue with using 2D-PAGE?
a. Hydrophobic proteins may not run as expected due to the hydrophobic surfaces.
b. Some proteins may not migrate through polyacrylamide and therefore not be represented on the gel.
c. Rare cellular proteins are hard to visualize with Coomassie blue protein stain.
d. All of the above are issues with 2D-PAGE
The correct answer is:
(d) All of the above are issues with 2D-PAGE.
Explanation:
2D-PAGE (Two-Dimensional Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis) is a powerful technique for separating complex protein mixtures based on both isoelectric point (pI) and molecular weight. However, it has several limitations:
-
(a) Hydrophobic proteins may not run as expected due to the hydrophobic surfaces
- Membrane proteins are often hydrophobic and tend to precipitate or aggregate instead of properly migrating through the gel.
- This makes them difficult to resolve in 2D-PAGE.
-
(b) Some proteins may not migrate through polyacrylamide and therefore not be represented on the gel
- Very large proteins or proteins with abnormal structures may not enter or migrate properly through the gel.
- This can result in incomplete representation of the sample.
-
(c) Rare cellular proteins are hard to visualize with Coomassie blue protein stain
- Coomassie blue has a low sensitivity, meaning that low-abundance proteins may not be detectable.
- More sensitive stains (e.g., silver staining, SYPRO Ruby, or fluorescent dyes) are needed to visualize rare proteins.
Conclusion:
Since all the issues listed affect 2D-PAGE, the correct answer is:
✅ (d) All of the above are issues with 2D-PAGE.

Pore size less hone ki wajah se PAGE me large size proteins can’t run
CBB dye is low sensitive do not stain small size protein

Manisha choudhary
August 17, 2025Membrane proteins mostly hydrophobic hoti h jo gel m migrate nhi kr paati y aggregate ho jaati h so resolve Krna difficult hota h gel m
Coomasin brilliant blue less sensitive hota h microgram protein ki staining kr skta h
More sensitive AgNO3 use krenge silver dye 2 tk nanogram protein k liye use kr skte h iske alawa fluroscent dye bhi use kr skte h
Kuch protein ki size jyada hoti yaa shape abnormal hota h vo PAGE m move nhi kr paati h

Because cbb staining doesn’t work for small rare cellular proteins
We will have to go for more sensitive staining for example agno3
Membrane proteins are hydrophobic so will not run properly in gel
Large protein will not properly move in gel
