Velocity of Migration = [blank_start]Effective Mobility[blank_end] x [blank_start]Voltage[blank_end]
- Proportion of charged molecules determines effective mobility
Voltage = [blank_start]Current[blank_end] x [blank_start]Resistance[blank_end]
- V = I x R
Proteins accumulate in a [blank_start]narrow[blank_end] band (i.e. [blank_start]Stack[blank_end]) before entering the [blank_start]resolving[blank_end] gel
Stacking gels have [blank_start]large[blank_end] pores ([blank_start]low[blank_end] %T, [blank_start]no molecular sieving[blank_end]) and a pH of [blank_start]6.8[blank_end].
Glycine is [blank_start]protonated[blank_end], so it has a [blank_start]slow[blank_end] migration and is the [blank_start]trailing[blank_end] ion. Proteins are [blank_start]differentially deprotonated[blank_end], so they have an [blank_start]intermediate[blank_end] migration. Chloride (Cl-) has [blank_start]high[blank_end] mobility and is the [blank_start]leading[blank_end] ion.
Cl- moves [blank_start]away from[blank_end] the glycine, creating a [blank_start]low[blank_end] conductivity zone. The [blank_start]low[blank_end] conductivity zone attains a [blank_start]higher[blank_end] voltage gradient. At its steady-state, glycine and Cl- are moving at [blank_start]the same rate[blank_end] with a [blank_start]sharp[blank_end] boundary between them. As the glycine moves through the stacking gel, the [blank_start]Cl-[blank_end]overtakes the [blank_start]proteins[blank_end] [blank_start]in front of[blank_end] the boundary. Proteins have [blank_start]higher[blank_end] mobility than glycine in the trailing [blank_start]high-voltage[blank_end] gradient, so they move [blank_start]at[blank_end] the boundary.
Resolving gels have [blank_start]smaller[blank_end] pores ([blank_start]higher[blank_end] %T, [blank_start]molecular sieving[blank_end]) and a pH of [blank_start]8.8[blank_end]. At the resolving gel, glycine [blank_start]deprotonates[blank_end] and [blank_start]increases[blank_end] mobility. The [blank_start]glycine[blank_end] overtakes the [blank_start]proteins[blank_end] and moves just behind the Cl-.

- EIEF or native gel
- FSeparation based on charge:mass ratio
- GProteins migrate to isoelectric point
95Why do posttranslational modifications occur after separation in the second dimension (electrophoresis)>
- AARG & mature spot may not be the same
- Bproteins don't follow the laws of physics during electrophoresis
- Cproteins migrate to the isoelectric point, not based on size
96Select all components of In vitro translation systems (electrophoresis)
- Aribosomes
- Bprotein synthesis factors
- CtRNAs
- DmRNA
- EAmino acids (one radiolabeled)
- FrRNA
- GcDNA
- HAmpholytes
97What are the uses of In vitro translation of proteins?
- AAnalyze major mRNAs present
- BPro-protein production
- CResolves overlying proteins
98What is the basic procedure of In vitro translation of proteins?
1. [blank_start]Extract mRNAs[blank_end]
2. [blank_start]Translate mRNAs In vitro[blank_end]- AExtract mRNAs
- BCopy mRNAs
- CTranslate mRNAs In vitro
- DLabel mRNAs In vitro
99___________ is the transfer of macromolecules from gel to membrane filter following electrophoresis.
- ABlotting
- BTranslation
- CVisualization
- DStaining
100What are some of the advantages of analyzing macromolecules using probes instead of in gels?
- AMore sensitive detection
- BNeed less DNA/RNA/protein to complete
- CProbe detects only molecule of interest (not all molecules on gel visualized)
- DReduce volumes of expensive reagents
- EProbes make you feel like a cool alien
- FFaster visualization
