Question
If you separated PFK using electrophoresis, how would the isozymes migrate if the M subunit has a lower pI than the L subunit?
Step 1
Isozymes are enzymes that differ in amino acid sequence but catalyze the same chemical reaction. These enzymes usually display different kinetic parameters, or they may be differentially regulated. Show more…

How would the band in gel electrophoresis differ if we use human rRNA instead of bacterial rRNA? Also, would a lower/increased agarose concentration be used to separate 5sRNA and tRNA as they have very similar molecular weight?
What effect would increasing the amount of agarose in the gel have on the distance that pieces of DNA would migrate in the gel? How would the results of electrophoresis vary if the voltage was increased? Or if the migration was allowed to run twice as long? What was the most difficult problem you encountered when loading the samples into the wells?
Electrophoresis is used to separate both DNA and proteins. Why would this process not work well for separating lipids?
