| 1) Pipet to 1 crushed grain: 500 µl (55 % (v/v) isopropanol / Bidest (+ 0.1 % DTT for barley only).2) Vortex for 15 sec.
 3) 15 min in ultrasonic tray at 40°C.
 4) Vortex for 15 sec.
 5) Centrifuge for 5 min 13,000 rpm.
 6) Carefully pipet solutions into new tubes:
 7) Remove alcohol for 2 - 3 hours in a SpeedVac under warming the rotor (solutions become turbid).
 Caution! Remove isopropanol only: remaining aqueous volume is 50-100 µl.
 8) Pipet out and discard the entire supernatant.
 9) Add 0.6 g urea to 9 ml sample buffer (1 mol/l) + 1 ml Chloroethanol (10%, buffer becomes turbid), and add to the pellets: Barley-malt: 140 µl (+0.1% DTT), Wheat-malt 170 µl.
 10) Vortex for 15 sec to dissolve the pellet to an emulsion.
 11) 15 min ultrasonic tray at 40°C.
 12) Vortex for 15 sec.
 13) Sortly centrifuge the samples (1 min 1600 rpm).
