It is important to understand the molecular mechanisms that take place in muscle tissues and to predict meat quality characteristics. One of the most popular methods is two-dimensional electrophoresis, which allows us to visualize, share and identify different molecules, including meat proteins. However, the standard conditions of this method are not universal for all types of raw material, so the authors suggest a new variation of two-dimensional electrophoresis for muscle tissue analysis. Samples were tested by the classical version of isoelectric focusing (cathode buffer in the top and anode buffer in the bottom chamber of the electrophoresis cell) and its variation (anode buffer in the top and cathode buffer in the bottom chamber of the electrophoresis cell). Next, extruded gels were incubated in two different buffer systems: the first was equilibration buffer I (6 M urea, 20% w/v glycerol, 2% w/v SDS and 1% w/v Ditiothreitol in 375 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.8) followed by equilibration buffer II (6 M urea, 20% w/v glycerol, 2% w/v SDS and 4% w/v iodoacetamide in 375 mM Tris-HCl buffer pH 8.8 and the second, buffer А, consisting of 5 M urea, 2% w/v SDS, 5% v/v mercaptoethanol, 62.5 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 6.8 and 0.01% w/v bromophenol blue. Electrophoretic studies of muscle tissue revealed the best protein separation after changing the direction of the current (authors' variation), while no differences were detected after changing incubation buffers.

SummaryHuman fibrinogen was compared with asialofibrinogen by two-dimensional electrophoresis to evaluate the contribution of sialic acid to the heterogeneity of the γ- and Bβ-polypeptide chains.Reduced fibrinogen showed three major variants for both the γ- and Bβ-chains. In addition two minor γ-bands with a more acidic isoelectric point than the normal γ-chains were observed. Electrophoresis in the second dimension (SDS) suggests that these most acidic bands are γ-chain-variants with a higher molecular weight. In asialofibrinogen only two predominant variants with more alkaline isoelectric points were present in each chain type.It is concluded that enzymatic removal of sialic acid partially reduces the heterogeneity of the γ- and Bβ-polypeptide chains of human fibrinogen, but additional sources producing charge heterogeneity must be sought.
