Introduction

Our Gelatin Zymography Protocol makes use of pre-made buffers and gels, but most of these can be home-made for a fraction of the cost.  Here are some recipes for analogous buffers that have been published in the literature [1], and the same article also describes how to make your own gelatin zymograms.

Disclaimer: These recipes are provided for the convenience of the reader and are not guaranteed to work.  I have not attempted to make these reagents on my own, so be sure to take any necessary safety precautions while preparing them and realize that they may not be compatible with or work as well as the commercial reagents used in our Gelatin Zymography Protocol.  Please let us know if you tried these recipes and tell us whether they worked for you!

Recipes
