Figure 5.
Fluorescence images of SDS-PAGE gels showing the specificity of rhodamine-aldehyde labeling for hydrazide protein when the reaction was carried out at pH 2. The sample labeled āZā contains hydrazide and after treatment with rhodamine-aldehyde the band displays a fluorescence signal. In comparison, the native lysozyme (Asp) and aged lysozyme containing succinimide (Asu), which were also treated with rhodamine-aldehyde showed no detectable fluorescence signal, indicating no measurable background reaction under these conditions.
