Protein Electrophoresis

migration of proteins in an applied electric field


-

free flow electrophoresis 1 diffusion in solution ) is feasible , but convection broadens band and

limits resolution



-
most kinds of electrophoresis is carried out in a polymeric medium I i. e. gets )

diffusional broadening still present but reduced as molecules diffuse slower in gets

-


migration rate ( M) is proportional to : electric field strength ,
ionic strength ,



net charge , temperature ,
molecular size & shape ,

viscosity of sample


Types of protein electrophoresis : 1 . Under denaturing conditions I dependent on size)



2. Under native conditions I dependent on size and charge )



3. Isoelectric focussing IIEF ) ( dependent on PI )

size in the 2nd dimension 1

pore size is determined by [ acrylamide] and the ratio of

acrylamide :
