Q

principle of protein electrophoresis

A

a) Proteins are amphoteric
b) The isoelectric point of protein is the pH at which a protein has no net charge.
c) At pH 8.6, proteins are negatively charged and migrate toward the anode
d) If the buffer pH is higher than the isoelectric point of pro in, the protein carries a negative charge and migrates toward the anode.
