Study Notes

Electrophoresis

  • Arne Tiselius published a paper on the complete process and applications of electrophoresis in 1937.
  • The scientist who first reported evidence of electrophoresis was Arneus van Gijn.
  • The main purpose of electrophoresis is to separate and analyze charged particles, such as proteins or DNA molecules, based on their size and charge.
  • The size of the pore in agarose gel affects the movement of DNA molecules, with smaller pores slowing down the movement of larger DNA molecules.
  • Arne Tiselius was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1948 for his research on electrophoresis and adsorption analysis.
