Method and means for an isolation of membrane-bound proteins from a biological sample

Abstract

The present invention provides the method and means for an efficient isolation of membrane-bound proteins from biological samples, e.g. in samples from raw or processed plant material. The biological sample can be highly processed, e.g. by applying high temperature, pressure, or a chemical treatment and can be derived from seed matrices as well as other typical plant tissues for example seed, grain, leaf, root, or pollen. The invention comprises the provision of a novel extraction buffer (MEB) and its application in the method of the invention.
