Consider Serum Protein Electrophoresis for a moment and exactly how does each of the following things affect the migration of proteins during electrophoresis. True or False: The Higher the Ionic Strength, the faster the migration, because there will be increased electroendosmosis.
Added by Amanda Z.
Step 1
Ionic strength refers to the concentration of ions in the buffer solution used during electrophoresis. Higher ionic strength means more ions are present in the solution. Show more…

What is the molecular basis for the differences in the electrophoretic mobilities of the four proteins analyzed in this exercise? Relate your answer to the isoelectric points of these proteins that are given in Table 1-1. 2. Explain how your results would have been affected if the electrophoretic separation was carried out at pH 10.5. 3. Explain how your results would have been affected if the separation was carried out at pH 6.0.

DNA molecules have a negative charge resulting from their deoxyribose sugar, nitrogenous base, phosphate group, and hydrogen bonds. Which of the following is used to reduce disulfide bonds and disrupt protein cross-links in SDS-PAGE? 2-mercaptoethanol, ammonium persulfate, TEMED, SDS. The concentration of acrylamide in the polyacrylamide gel has an effect on the speed of migration of the proteins. True or False: Smaller protein molecules migrate lower through the gel than larger protein molecules. When the voltage of the electric field is increased in SDS-PAGE, the protein molecules migrate faster towards the anode. Which of the following factors affect the speed of migration in SDS-PAGE? The concentration of acrylamide, the intensity of the voltage applied, the molecular weight of the protein. The application of an electric field for the separation of molecules such as nucleic acids and proteins is called electrophoresis. SDS-PAGE is used for cell culture and protein determination. The following is a free radical stabilizer that acts as a catalyst by promoting the polymerization of polyacrylamide: 2-mercaptoethanol, DTT, TEMED, SDS.
