An improved native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) method capable of evaluating the hydrodynamic states of membrane proteins and allowing in-gel fluorescence detection was established. In this method, bis(alkyl) sulfosuccinate is used to provide negative charges for detergent-solubilized membrane proteins to facilitate proper electrophoretic migration without disturbing their native hydrodynamic states. The method achieved high-resolution electrophoretic separation, in good agreement with the elution profiles obtained by size exclusion chromatography. The applicability of in-gel fluorescence detection for tagged green fluorescent protein (GFP) facilitates the analysis of samples without any purification. This method might serve as a general analytical technique for assessing the folding, oligomerization, and protein complex formation of membrane proteins. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
