ABSTRACT
Purification of gliadin subclasses has been difficult since they share many biochemical and physicochemical properties. In this report, the optimization of a preparative electrophoretic method to fractionate gliadins is described. Separation was performed in preparative 7% polyacrylamide gels at pH 3.1. The separation performance was tested using analytical electrophoresis at pH 3.1 and capillary electrophoresis. Preparative gels of different lengths were employed. Using 5-cm preparative gels, several fractions of alpha-, beta-, and gamma-gliadins and fast-mobility and slow-mobility omega-gliadins were collected in 40 h of separation. Resolution was maintained at a protein load of up to 30 mg in each run. The highest efficiency of recovery was achieved using aluminum lactate as the collecting buffer. Fractionation with 10 cm in length gels improved resolution but increased operation times. Gels of 2 cm in length did not separate alpha/beta- and gamma-gliadins efficiently but were useful to separate the two main fractions of omega-gliadins in shorter times. In conclusion, preparative electrophoresis at low pH allowed the separation of alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and omega-gliadin fractions from crude material under nondenaturing conditions.
