TLDR
Using an improved method of gel electrophoresis, many hitherto unknown proteins have been found in bacteriophage T4 and some of these have been identified with specific gene products as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
Using an improved method of gel electrophoresis, many hitherto unknown proteins have been found in bacteriophage T4 and some of these have been identified with specific gene products. Four major components of the head are cleaved during the process of assembly, apparently after the precursor proteins have assembled into some large intermediate structure.

Tricine-sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for the separation of proteins in the range from 1 to 100 kDa.

TL;DR: A discontinuous sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) system for the separation of proteins in the range from 1 to 100 kDa is described, and the omission of glycine and urea prevents disturbances which might occur in the course of subsequent amino acid sequencing.

“Western Blotting”: Electrophoretic transfer of proteins from sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels to unmodified nitrocellulose and radiographic detection with antibody and radioiodinated protein A

TL;DR: The detection of murine leukemia virus antigens in complex cellular lysates was used to demonstrate the efficacy of this electrophoretic transfer technique.

A Film Detection Method for Tritium‐Labelled Proteins and Nucleic Acids in Polyacrylamide Gels

TL;DR: A simple method for detecting 3H in polyacrylamide gels by scintillation autography (fluorography) using X-ray film, which is ten times more sensitive than conventional autoradiography of isotopes with higher emission energies.

Determination of carbonyl content in oxidatively modified proteins.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses methods to determine carbonyl content in oxidatively modified proteins and quantitated protein-bound pyruvoyl groups through formation of a Schiff base with p-aminobenzoic acid followed by reduction with cyanoborohydride.

The catalog of human cytokeratins: Patterns of expression in normal epithelia, tumors and cultured cells

TL;DR: During cell transformation and tumor devel- opment this cell type specificity of intermediate filaments is largely conserved’ and classification of tumors by their specific type of intermediate Filaments has re- cently become very valuable in clinical histodiagnosis.

Analysis of C14-labeled proteins by disc electrophoresis

TL;DR: This report presents an alternative procedure involving autoradiography of dried longitudinal gel slices that is relatively uncomplicated and can be used to develop the entire pattern of radioactivity in a gel without significant sacrifice of resolution.
