Native protein is unfolded by heating in the
presence of -mercaptoethanol and SDS.
SDS binds to the protein so that it stays in
solution and denatures.Large polypeptides bind more SDS than
small polypeptides, so proteins end up
with negative charge in relation to their
size.
When treated with SDS and a reducing
agent, the polypeptides become rods of
negative charges with equal “charge
densities" or c harge p er u nit length.

Pulsed eld gel electrophoresis is a t echnique used for the separation of large
DNA molecules by applying to a gel matrix an electric eld that periodically
changes d irection.
While in general small fragments can nd their way through the gel matrix more easi ly
than large D NA fragments, a threshold length exists above 3 0–50 kb where all large
fragments will run at the sam e rate, and appear in a gel as a si ngle large d iffuse ba nd.
However, with periodic changing of eld direction, the various lengths of DNA
react t o the change at differing rates. Over t he course of time with the consistent
changing of directions, each band will begin to sepa rate m ore an d more e ven at ver y large
lengths. Thus s eparation of very large D NA pieces usi ng P FGE is m ade p ossible.
The voltage is periodically switched among three directions; one that runs
through the central axis of the gel and two that run at an angle of 60 degreeseither side. The pulse times are e qual for each direction resulting in a net
forward migration of the DNA.
This proced ure takes longer than normal gel electrophoresis due to the size of the
fragments being resolved and the fact that the DNA does not move in a straight line
through the gel.

ELECTROOS(OTIC FLO5
The surface of the silicate glass capillary contains negatively-charged
functional groups that attract positively-charged counterions. The positively-
charged ions migrate towards the negative electrode and carry solvent
molecules in the sam e direction. This overall solvent movement is called
electroosmotic ow. During a separation, uncharged molecules move at the
same velocity as the electroosmotic ow (with very little separation).
Positively-charged ions m ove f aster a nd negatively-charged ions m ove sl ower.

Individual zones border one a nother bu t represent completely sepa rated components w ith out overlap.
In isotachophoresis no background electrolyte(buffer) is mixed with the sam ple, so current ow is
carried only by ch arged sample i ons.
Once a f aster m oving component separates completely from a slower m oving one, It creates
a region of depleted charge between the two that increases the resistance and therefore
local voltage in that region.This increased vo ltage causes the slower component to migrate faster and close the gap,
thereby concentrating it and increasing the co nductivity of its zon e u ntil it matches t hat of
the f aster i on.
Ultimately all ions migration at the rate of the faster ion in the zon es that differ in thickness,
depending on their ori ginal concentrations.

All proteins have an
When electrophoresis is r un in a sol ution buffered a t constant pH , proteins having a net charge
will migrate t owards t he op posite el ectrode so l ong as t he cu rrent ows.
The u se of pH gradient across the sup porting m edium causes each p rotein to m igrate t o an area ofspecic pH.The pH of the protein equals the pH of the grad ient, thus resulting in sharp welldened p rotein bands.
A procedure to determine the isoelectric poiproteins can be electrophorised through a solution having a stable pH gradient infrom the anode to the cathode and a each protein will m igrate to the position in thepH gradient a ccording to its isoelectric point. This is called isoelectric focusing.
Protein migrate i nto the p oint where i ts n et charge is zer o – isoelectric p H.
Protein is posi tively ch arged in solutions at pH below its P I and will migrate t owards t he cat hode.
Protein is n egatively charged in solution at pH above i ts P I w ill migrate t owards t he a node.
They w ill be i n the Zwitter ion form with no net charge so t he further movement will cease.
Ampholytes (amphoteric electrolytes)- low molecular mass (600-900D) ooligomers with aliphaticamino and carboxylic acid groups with a range of isoelectric points. Ampholytes help maintainthe pH gradiennt in the presence of high voltage.
