Answer / g.rajesh kumar

Electrophoresis is a separation technique especially used
for seperation of protein molecules.

Eletrophoresis involves the use of electricity which makes
the molecules to migrate based on their charge.

IEF separates sample compounds(proteins) according to
isoelectric point,
whereas SDS-PAGE separates the compounds by molecular weight.

Answer / moumita ghosal

electrophoresis helps in separation and purification of
protein based on charge: mass ratio property.
SDS-PAGE helps in molecular weight determination. also it
allows to know how many subunit the protein has.
Isoelectric focusing helps in separation and precipitation
of protein at their isoelectric point(net charge is zero).

Answer / surbhi

SDS PAGE is widely used method for analysing protein
mixtures qualitatively.it is particularly useful for
monitoring protein purification on the basis of their size.
isoelectric focusing method is ideal for separtion of
amphoteric ssubstances such as proteins because it is based
on the separation of molecules according to their different
isoelectric points.

Answer / subbareddy1984

electrophoresis is the migraion of charged particals or ions
by under the influence of an applied electic field.
separation is mainly based on charge and mass.

SDS-PAGE is used for the molecularweight determinations of
ions or molecules like proteins .

isoelecticfocusing is used for the seperation of charged
sparticals and mixture of proteins(aminoacids).
