Abstract

Zeta-bind, a positively charged nylon membrane, was tested as an immobilizing matrix for the electrophoretic transfer of proteins from sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. It was found that Zeta-bind has a considerably greater capacity than does nitrocellulose for protein binding. Because of this property, more efficient elution of proteins from gels can be used (by omitting methanol from transfer buffers). The procedure described is more amenable to quantitation than usual nitrocellulose-based transfer. Antibody or lectin overlay techniques are also more sensitive on Zeta-bind than on nitrocellulose.
