David,
I just returned from the ABLE conference at which I attended a workshop
on using SDS-PAGE on proteins from chicken breast. It is designed and
used in a first year biology course at the Univ. of Maryland. The
acrylamide gels are not toxic once they've polymerized, so you can pour
them before class and not worry about the students. They need to learn
to work with hazardous materials eventually anyway. The exercise fit
nicely into a 3 hour lab, the students needed only to come back a day
later (or at the next lab period) to view the stained gel. You might
contact Richard Racusen at rr2 at umail.umd.edu for the protocol.
