Possible...yes indeed.  BUT the yield will stink especially as the size of
the "peptide" increases.  When I try to retreive bands from fixed gels, I
simple apply 40 ma for 48 hrs and electroelute the bands into a dialysis
bag.  The big problem that I have found is removing the SDS since my goal
is to sequence it by MS MS
