Abstract:
We present an online tool (EquiBands, http://www.univie.ac.at/IECB/limno/equibands/EquiBands.html) that quantifies the matching of two bands considered to be the same in different samples, even when samples are applied to different denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis gels. With an environmental example we demonstrate the procedure for the classification of two bands of different samples with the help of EquiBands.

Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis
The first dimension separation uses the isoelectric focusing or IEF technique performed on immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips that separate proteins according to their isoelectric points.

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...
DNA Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Gel extraction follows five major steps: running gel electrophoresis to separate fragments, isolating the individual bands, extracting DNA from those bands, and removing the dye and salts from the extracted mixture to obtain pure DNA.
