Abstract:
A procedure is proposed for the calculation of the actual effective mobility of a zone from its migration time. It is based on the use of internal standards with known mobilities; the use of two internal standards provides reliable mobility data even if the magnitudes of the effects of sample composition, capillary temperature, capillary length, migration distance, used voltage, as well as the tube length occupied by the injected sample are unknown. Formulas have been derived for the calculation of the actual mobilities, and their experimental verification has been carried out by using a model set of anionic solutes with mobilities ranging from -56 to -20 x 10(-9) m2V-1s-1 and chloride as the ion modelling the effect of the sample matrix.

SDS-PAGE
A variation of gel electrophoresis, termed polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is commonly used for separating proteins according to their molecular size by passing them through a polyacrylamide gel. Because of the varying charges associated with amino acid side chains, PAGE can be used to separate intact proteins...
