Description
The Actin-Toolkit Ligand Interaction facilitates fluorescent IAEDANS- conjugated actin to visualize interactions with actin ligands by native page. An advantage of this method is that also crude extracts or semi-purified proteins can be used. The assay leaves the interacting proteins in the native state and proofs the existence of a ligand-G-actin complex (see also
Actin-Toolkit G-Actin Binding). As this assay does not require the use of antibodies, results are obtained within a few steps and can observed using a 360nm UV-table.
The Actin-Toolkit Ligand Interaction contains all necessary components for error-free handling of the assay: 5x100µg IAEDANS-actin from rabbit skeletal muscle, buffers to keep the actin functional. A handbook guides through the experimental setup and contains our protocol for the preparation of native PA gels. The sample buffer (TrackingDye) for native PAGE is included. We guarantee stable performance of all kit components when stored at -70°C upon arrival for 6 months.
