Abstract
We present a fitting method applied to high resolution two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE). The goal of this technique is to improve protein quantification by 2D-PAGE modeling. Two-dimensional gaussian functions (2D-Gaussian) have been used to model protein patterns contained in a 2D-PAGE. The patterns are sequentially approximated by a 2D-Gaussian. This is performed, first, by a least square fitting algorithm (linear method); then, by a conjugate gradient minimization algorithm (non-linear method). Results of this method are discussed.
