Yo Silke
its real easy
obviously u have to ensure all your equipment is nice and clean.
but apart from this, just leave out the SDS and the 2-Mercapt. (and don't
boil)
i have run many native PAGE gels using this protocol
stacking gel pH6, resolving gel close to pH9 (as in the BioRad protocols)
i use DNA loading buffer to make my proteins sink
and have always been able to resolve my protein (which has a pI of 6)
however, proteins R no longer separated on the basis of Mr,
charge is the now tthe most important factor.
but because your protein have a quite low pI this should not be a problem.
