Phenol-Based Protein Extraction Method for Plant Proteomic Studies.

The protein extraction method based on the phenol solution and combined with protein precipitation with ammonium acetate in methanol and purification in the same solution, and additionally in acetone and ethanol, is recommended for proteomic studies of plant tissues. The obtained protein samples do not require additional nucleic acid digestion and removal of interfering contaminations. The presented protocol was used to analyze the proteome of common buckwheat flowers and leaves.
