Electrophoretic studies (PAGE) on the muscle albumin proteins in two species of pomfrets – Pampus argenteus (Euphrasen, 1788) and P. chinensis (Euphrasen, 1758)

Muscle albumin proteins of males and females of two species of pomfrets – Pampus argenteus and P. chinensis have been studied electrophoretically using polyacrylamide gel (PAGE) with water and Tris- HCl buffer (0.1M, 0.2M, 0.3M, 0.4M and 0.5 M). Difference between the sexes of the two species and also between the two species was observed with respect to protein fraction, relative mobility and molecular weights. The native protein fractions ranged from 3 to 6 in both sexes of the two species with water and at different concentrations of Tris- HCl. Catalase, Bovine serum albumin and Ovalbumin were used as marker proteins.
