Outer membrane protein extraction - (Apr/17/2018 )

I couldn't get essential bands by SDS PAGE of outer membrane protein. What is the esssential criteria to get all required bands of outer membrane protein ? If i place whole cell protein in 1% of sodium lauryl sarcosine , overnight, the outer membrane protein degrades? Or by this is it possible to extract properly all minute outer membrane proteins

-Siniya-

the sarcosine should not degrade the protein, it should disrupt the membrane. there are, however, proteases that will be released and they may degrade the proteins.

 

do you add a protease inhibitor cocktail to your extraction medium?
