What is zone electrophoresis?
Posted July 17, 2024

Answer

Zone electrophoresis is an electrophoretic method used for separating charged particles such as nucleic acids, proteins, and biopolymers. The method involves moving the charged particles through a stabilizing medium such as agarose gel, polyacrylamide gel, or paper under the influence of an electric field. As a result, the separated particles form distinct zones on the supporting medium.
