Hi!
At 10Kd,. you probable are masking your protein with unincorporated
label, not the Heme protein, I think (unless you are running very high
percentage gels). Cant you do your TnT and then IP to clean it before
running it out on a gel to see if its there? I had to do that with a
11Kda piece of protein to see it.
Good luck!
John
