title: Lysozyme oligomers as a molecular mass standard for sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
abstract: Egg white lysozyme treated with hypochlorous acid links together producing di-, tri-, tetra-, and pentameric derivatives with molecular masses ranging from 14,300 to 90,500. Similar oligomeric products may be obtained by treating lysozyme color derivatives produced by labeling lysozyme with fluorescein, trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid and 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene, with hypochlorous acid. The oligomeric lysozyme derivatives thus obtained consist of a mixture of proteins with molecular masses equal to multiples of 14,300 (lysozyme molecular mass). This mixture can be applied as a set of molecular mass standards suitable for determination of protein molecular masses on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
