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).
