Peroxidase zymograms

Peroxidase zymograms obtained by agarose native gel electrophoresis have unmet resolution and completeness

Importance:

Zymographs are a potent tool for enzymatic isoform characterization. We established a new methodological standard by adapting a native agarose gel format and expect that this approach will provide high-quality results when applied to forest tree samples.
Graphy was established:

  • Both acid and basic isoforms were separated and stained in a single gel
  • The resolution and completeness are substantially improved with respect to conventional approaches
  • It was possible to double the number of peroxidase isoforms identifiable in a zymogram
