UNNING THE GEL: The gel isrun as described above. I run 2 ul of a 12.5 ul translation reaction onthe gel ( plus 4 ul of gel loading buffer). I have begun to include 0.1%Triton X-100 and 2M Urea in my sample loading buffer because I seem tohave fewer things stuck at the top of the separating gel. I generally runthe sample into the stacking gel at 2 watts for 20 min., followed for 20minutes at 6 watts. I then increase the power to 8 watts and run the gelfor about 3 hours. The bromophenol blue does not need to run to the bottom.I like to run it about 60-75% to the bottom
