From an SDS-PAGE gel, how can you tell that you successfully induced GFP expression?

Is that related to amount of bands?

Answer #1

If you have made fusion protein of suppose protein 'A' with GFP, then definitely your protein 'A-GFP will be now bigger in size than original protein 'A'' and its molecular weight will be higher. Now If you are using SDS-PAGE, and you are loading protein 'A without GFP' in one well of gel and Protein A-GFP in another well, the well with A-GFP will show band upper to the band corresponding to protein 'A' in another well. This is because when a protein is large sized, it migrates slowly to the bottom than the protein which is bigger in size. Here amounts of bands will not change as long as if the question is related to fusion protein
