STPM Biology Biological Molecules (Part 25)

Analytical Techniques – Electrophoresis

  • Electrophoresis is a technique used to separate charged molecules such as amino acids and proteins using an electric field.
  • Charged molecules migrate in an electric field. The rate of migration depends on the size, shape and charge of the molecule. 
  • So different types of molecules will be separated in the field.
