western transfer efficiency.. with or without methanol / SDS? - any differences? for what kindof proteins? (Apr/05/2008 )

western transfer efficiency..
in tris-glycine buffer..
with or without methanol
wth or without SDS?

any differences? for what kind of proteins? i have done all these.. cant c any difference?
also how do you define efficiency of the transfer? by staining the gel after transfer? do u get like 100% transfers? pls let me know!
thanks!!

their are numerous transfer buffers; we routinely use 48 mM Tris, 30 mM Glycin, 0,037 % (w/v) SDS, 20 % (v/v) methanol;

staining gel after transfer is a good way to check transfer efficiency
