Question

An immobilized pH gradient can be used in a two-dimensional form of this technique. (10[1]-5[1])Isoelectric focusing in this technique can be subject to cathodic drift. Denaturation (10[1])of proteins to create a uniform negative charge in this technique (10[1])can be accomplished using (10[2])detergents like SDS. SYBR (“cyber”) Gold is an intercalating agent used in this technique (10[1])that is less toxic than traditional dyes. The size of molecules (10[2])is inversely proportional to the migration rate in this (10[1])technique. Acrylamide and agarose matrices are used in two forms of this technique. For 10 points, identify this laboratory technique that uses an applied electric field to separate biomolecules (10[1])on a gel. ■END■

ANSWER: gel electrophoresis [accept DNA or nucleic acid or protein electrophoresis; accept SDS-PAGE; prompt on DNA separation or Western blot or running a gel]
