TCA-DOC
For precipitation of very low protein concentration
1) To one volume of protein solution, add 1/100 vol. of 2% DOC (Na deoxycholate, detergent).
2) Vortex and let sit for 30min at 4oC.
3) Add 1/10 of Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) 100% vortex and let sit ON at 4oC (preparation of 100%
TCA: 454ml H2O/kg TCA. Maintain in dark bottleat careful, u gloves).
4) Spin 15min 4oC in microfuge at maximum speed (15000g). Carefully discharge supernatant and
retain the pellet: dry tube by inversion on tissue paper (pellet may be difficult to e). [OPTION: Wash
pellet twice with one volume of cold acetone (acetone keep at –20oC). Vortex and repellet samples
5min at full speed between washes].
5) Dry samples under vaccum (speed vac) or dry air. For PAGE-SDS, resuspend samples in a minimal
volume of sample buffer. (The prence of some TCA can give a yellow colour as a conquence of the
acidification of the sample buffer ; titrate with 1N NaOH or 1M TrisHCl pH8.5 to obtain the normal
blue sample buffer colour.)
Normal TCA
To eliminate TCA soluble interferences and protein concentration
1) To a sample of protein solution add Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) 100% to get 13% final concentration.
Mix and keep 5min –20oC and then 15min 4oC; or longer time at 4oC without the –20oC step for
lower protein concentration. Suggestion: leave ON if the protein concentration is very low. 五子棋禁手规则

gloves).
2) Spin 15min 4oC in microfuge at maximum speed (15000g). Carefully discharge supernatant and
retain the pellet: dry tube by inversion on tissue paper (pellet may be difficult to e).
3) For PAGE-SDS, resuspend samples in a minimal volume of sample buffer. (The prence of some
TCA can give a yellow colour as a conquence of the acidification of the sample buffer ; titrate with

3. 100% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to get 10% final concentration (preparation of 100% TCA: 454ml
H2O/kg TCA. Maintain in dark bottleat careful, u gloves).
4. Mix and keep at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
5. Spin at 4oC for 10 min, remove supernatant and retain the pellet. Dry tube by inversion on tissue
paper.
6. Add 200 l of ice cold acetone to TCA pellet.
7. Mix and keep on ice for at least 15 min.
8. Spin at 4oC for 10 min in microcentrifuge at maximum speed.
9. Remove supernatant as before (5), dry air pellet to eliminate any acetone residue (smell tubes). For
PAGE-SDS, resuspend samples in a minimal volume of sample buffer.
10. (The prence of some TCA can give a yellow colour as a conquence of the acidification of the
sample buffer ; titrate with 1N NaOH or 1M TrisHCl pH8.5 to obtain the normal blue sample buffer
colour.)
Acidified Acetone/Methanol
Uful method to remove acetone and methanol soluble interferences like SDS before IEF
1) Prepare acidified acetone: 120ml acetone + 10l HCl (1mM final concentration).
2) Prepare precipitation reagent: Mix equal volumes of acidified acetone and methanol and keep at
-20oC.
3) To one volume of protein solution add 4 volumes of cold precipitation reagent. Mix and keep ON at
-20oC.

三氯乙酸（TCA）沉淀蛋白的原理
12
TCA 与蛋白质之间主要有以下几个方面的作用：
① 在酸性条件下与蛋白质形成不溶性盐；
② 作为蛋白质变性剂使蛋白质构象发生改变，暴露出较多的疏水性基团, 使之聚集沉淀；
③ 随着蛋白质分学校评价
子量的增大，其结构复杂性与致密性越大，TCA 可能渗入分子内部而使之
较难被完全除去，在电泳前样品加热处理时可能使蛋白质结构发生酸水解而形成碎片，而且
随时间的延长这一作用愈加明显；
④ 电泳图谱显示，BSA 、装饰画怎么画
HSA 单体谱带有较明显的展宽现象，这可能是由于TCA 的结合，
使SD如何煎中药
S 与蛋白质的结合量产生偏差，从而造成蛋白质所带电荷的不均一性，造成迁移率的
不一致。
我们认为在电泳时使用TCA 对蛋白质样品的浓缩或除盐时，对于分子质量大的蛋白质，要
慎重选择TCA。
对小分子量蛋白质的浓缩，采用TCA 时也有两点需要注意：一是用TCA 沉淀后，尽量用
丙酮彻底抽提TCA；二是样品处理后要尽快进行电泳分析，以免发生聚集及断裂，造成结
果分析的不准确。
