General description

Tricine is the most used electrophoresis buffer, which has a lower negative charge than glycine. This in turn helps it to migrate faster. Tricine is also used for the resuspension of cell pellets. Moreover, its high ionic strength leads to more movement of ions and less protein movement. This aids to separate low molecular weight proteins in lower percent acrylamide gels. Tricine is also used as a trailing ion that helps in the resolution of small proteins at lower acrylamide concentrations compared to glycine-sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) systems.

Application

Buffer component for separation of low molecular weight peptides.

Electrophoretic separations of proteins are widely used in proteomic analyses, and rely heavily on SDS electrophoresis. This mode of separation is almost exclusively used when a single dimension separation is performed, and generally represents the second dimension of two-dimensional separations.
