The method involves phenol extraction to separate proteins from the non-protein components such as polysaccharides, lipids and phenolic compounds that are commonly enriched in plant tissues. Following isolation, proteins are precipitated with ammonium acetate/methanol and then solubilized for proteomic analysis. As the protocol is simple, universal, and most importantly compatible with silver staining, it has been applied to our routine protein extraction from rice and many other plant tissues and it even works fine in animal tissues for the requirement of electrophoretic separation.
