Alternative to Starch Gel Electrophoresis?

[Ronald.Berry]

Hello Bionetters

We routinely do PAGE gels on proteins (usually Hoeffer Mighty Small gels), 
using traditional Tris/Glycine, and also Tricene buffers.

I have had a request from a non-biochemist to do starch gels electrophoresis 
on plant proteins, with the object of using zymograms to do genetic linkage 
analysis. 

Surely starch gels have been superceded by more modern polyacrylamide 
protocols?

Has anyone a protocol for "transfering" a starch gel method to PAGE? 

Thanks
