  1. Sperm Enzyme Preparation (Group 6) Comparing all Gradient Gel Standards

  2. Experiment Objective • Compare all given gradient gel standards and use their relative mobilities to create the best fit mathematical model. • Use best model to compare two gel samples

  3. Gathering Data: Gels 1 and 2

  4. Hypothesis (Part One) • Standards will be reproducible.

  5. Hypothesis (Part Two) Has more proteins than

  6. Standards • Measured three times • Calculated relative mobilities • Calculated mean measurements • Best fit mathematical model

  7. Mathematical Models • Table of Molecular Weights and the Log of the Molecular Weights:

  8. Best Model Determination

  9. Model with its CI

  10. Comparison Chart

  11. The Reaction • The expansion of the Vitelline Envelope due to contact with sperm over a 30 minute time period.

  12. Comparing Unknowns to Standards • Vitelline Envelope control • Sperm enzyme control • Vitelline Envelope + sperm enzyme (t=0 min) • Vitelline Envelope + enzyme (t=5 min) • Vitelline Envelope + enzyme (t=10 min) • Vitelline Envelope + enzyme (t=15 min) • Vitelline Envelope + enzyme (t=30 min)

  13. Results: • Sperm enzyme controls between gels 1 and 2 were similar.

  14. Results: • Vitelline envelope controls are similar between gels one and two.

  15. Results: • In gel 1, the vitelline envelope remains the same throughout the experiment.

  16. Results: • Vitelline envelope breaks up as the bands become greater.

  17. Results: Standards

  18. Conclusion: • Standards are reproducible. • Sperm enzyme breaks up vitelline envelope. • Number of bands increase. • Small proteins are being detected.
