This experiment’s: Detection of mitochondrial proteins and CoQ10. (A) BN-PAGE workflow, after electrophoresis, the gel was divided into two part. One is used for protein detection and the other was used for CoQ10 quantification. (B) In-gel activity assay for detection of each complex. Left: complex I, Middle: complex III, Right: complex IV. (C) Western blotting for detection of each complex. Left: Complex I was detected using the anti-NDUFB11 antibody. Middle: Complex III was detected using the anti-Core protein-1 antibody. Right: Complex IV was detected using the anti-Cox5b antibody. (D) Image of CoQ10 extraction method from gel and chromatogram of one example of HPLC-ECD analysis result. Gels fractionated were bead-crushed in solution [PBS:Methanol:Hexane = 1:5:10 (v/v/v)]. After gel crushing, the hexane layer was separated. The extracted CoQ10 was analyzed by HPLC-ECD. A typical chromatogram (second gel from the top) is shown.
