Sperm Enzyme Preparation (Group 6)

Comparing all Gradient Gel Standards

Experiment Objective

Compare all given gradient gel standards and use their relative mobilities to create the

best fit mathematical model.Use best model to compare two gel samples

Gathering Data:

Gels 1 and 2

Hypothesis (Part One)

Standards will be reproducible.

Hypothesis (Part Two)

Has more proteins than

The Reaction

The expansion of the Vitelline Envelope due to contact with sperm over a 30 minute time period.

Comparing Unknowns to Standards

Vitelline Envelope control Sperm enzyme control Vitelline Envelope + sperm enzyme (t=0 min) Vitelline Envelope + enzyme (t=5 min) Vitelline Envelope + enzyme (t=10 min) Vitelline Envelope + enzyme (t=15 min) Vitelline Envelope + enzyme (t=30 min)

Results:

Sperm enzyme controls between gels 1 and 2 were similar.
