Abstract: Pre-labeled protein standards useful in electrophoresis that have sharp, consistent separation characteristics that are substantially the same as those of their unlabeled counterparts are provided. The invention provides pre-labeled protein standard sets that include a plurality of labeled proteins that are labeled on a first amino acid, in which side reactions of the label with amino acids not targeted for labeling are reduced.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for controlling ionic strength and/or pH of a solution are provided.

Abstract: The invention provides populations of molecules that are prepared as, or treated to become, homogeneous for one or more molecular characteristics. In an aspect, the invention relates to molecular weight standards that may be used to determine the molecular weight or apparent molecular weight of uncharacterized molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, as well as in other applications. In one aspect, the molecular weight standards are pre-stained.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for generating three frame cDNA expression libraries for functional screening of proteins. The invention includes sets of 5? adapters for cloning cDNA molecules in which the sets include three adapters that can be used to clone a particular cDNA in all three reading frames. The libraries so generated have greater complexity of expressed open reading frames, and thus can improve the success of functional protein screens, such as two hybrid screens. The adapters also have recombination sites for efficient cloning and transfer between systems.
