ANALYTICAL METHODS [ELECTROPHORESIS] Flashcards
This method utilizes the migration of charged particles in an electric field.
Electrophoresis
Electrophoresis separates protein on the basis of (?).
Electric Charge Densities
In electrophoresis, what is the charge of a protein and where does it move towards to?
(-) charged, moves towards the anode.
This is the migration of small charged ions.
This method is under electrophoresis.
Ionophoresis
This is the migration of charges macromolecules.
This method is under electrophoresis.
ZE
Zone Electrophoresis
This is defined as a molecule whose net charge can either be positive or negative depending on the pH.
Amphoteric
What is the movement of buffer ions and solvent relative to the fixed support?
Electroendosmosis/Endosmosis
What is defined as zero net charge?
