Electrophoresis is a separation technique frequently used in the analysis of proteins and nucleic acids. The process known as electrophoresis, involves the migration of particles or molecules (in particular proteins, DNA, and RNA) through an electric field that separates them exclusively on the basis of their size or molecular weight. The direction the molecule moves depends on its charge while the rate of migration is affected by the size, shape, density of the gel and the strength of the applied current (5c). Electrophoresis is a very simple process and relatively quick with a high resolution. In addition electrophoresis is an extremely useful method to estimate the purity of a sample. The technique is also very sensitive to slight variations in molecular weight, size, and even shape of nucleic acids and proteins [1]. Electrophoresis can also be useful when it doesn’t affect the molecule’s structure or denature the protein (1).
The Process
Here, go into more detail about the process.
History
This section should describe the invention and development of the process. If the section runs long, divide it into chronological subsections, for example:
Invention and early development
This subsection should provide some historical context for the development of your process, describe its invention, and name some early developers and/or applications.
Recent developments
This section should discuss new developments in the field. Don't hesitate to drop in brief mentions of processes or features you don't intend to discuss in depth. By so doing you are planting seeds of articles which will eventually be developed by others.[2]
Design and Operation
Use lots of subsections here as you describe various aspects of the process .[3]
Applications
This section should discuss how the process is used in practice.[4]
Examples
If you have used a lot of equations in your article, this may be a good place to show an example of how they are used. See the article on the Antoine Equation for an example.
