unreferenced date September 2011 Affinity electrophoresis is a general name for many analytical methods used in biochemistry and biotechnology . Both qualitative and quantitative information may be obtained through affinity electrophoresis. The methods include the so called mobility shift electrophoresis, charge shift electrophoresis and affinity capillary electrophoresis . The methods are based on changes in the electrophoresis electrophoretic pattern of molecules mainly macromolecules through biospecific interaction or complex formation . The interaction or binding of a molecule, charged or uncharged, will normally change the electrophoretic properties of a molecule. Membrane proteins may be identified by a shift in mobility induced by a charged detergent . Nucleic acid s or nucleic acid fragments may be characterized by their affinity to other molecules. The methods has been used for estimation of binding constant s, as for instance in lectin affinity electrophoresis or characterization of molecules with specific features like glycan content or ligand binding. For enzymes and other ligand binding proteins, onedimensional electrophoresis similar to counter electrophoresis or to immunoelectrophoresis rocket immunoelectrophoresis , affinity electrophoresis may be used as an alternative quantification of the protein. Some of the methods are similar to affinity chromatography by use of immobilized ligands .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Hemoglobin electrophoresis is a blood test that can detect different types of hemoglobin . It uses the principles of gel electrophoresis to separate out the various types of hemoglobin and is a type of native gel electrophoresis . The test can detect abnormal levels of HbS, the form associated with sickle cell disease , as well as other abnormal hemoglobin related blood disorders, such as hemoglobin C . It can also be used to determine whether there is a deficiency of any normal form of hemoglobin, as in the group of diseases known as thalassemia s. Different hemoglobins have different charges, and according to those charges and the amount, hemoglobins move at different speeds in the gel whether in alkaline gel or acid gel.The hemoglobin electrophoresis is also known to be thalessemia screening, this also can be helpful for the patient who is frequently need of fresh blood transfusion. The patient needs blood transfusion because the body is unable to produce enough hemoglobin to satisfy the body s requirement. See Hemoglobinopathy Migration patterns Migration Patterns .

Moving boundary electrophoresis or free boundary electrophoresis is electrophoresis in a free solution. It was developed by Arne Tiselius in 1937. Tiselius was awarded the 1948 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work on the separation of colloids through electrophoresis, the motion of charged particles through a stationary liquid under the influence of an electric field. The apparatus includes a U shaped cell filled with buffer solution and electrodes immersed at its ends. The sample applied could be any mixture of charged components like a protein mixture. On applying voltage, the compounds will migrate to the anode or cathode depending on their charges. The change in the refractive index at the boundary of the separated compounds is detected using Schlieren optics at both ends of the solution in the cell. ref Reiner, Westermeier , Electrophoresis in Practice , 3rd Edition. ref References reflist External links http www.webcitation.org query?url http www.geocities.com bioelectrochemistry tiselius.htm&date 2009 10 25 19 13 00 Arne Wilhelm Kaurin Tiselius &mdash Information on Tiselius compiled from various sources.

Difference gel electrophoresis DIGE is a form of gel electrophoresis where up to three different protein samples can be labeled with fluorescent dye s for example Cy3, Cy5, Cy2 prior to two dimensional electrophoresis. Then, the three samples are mixed and put in the same gel. After the gel electrophoresis, the gel is scanned with the excitation wavelength of each dye one after the other, so we are able to see each sample separately if we scan the gel at the excitation wavelength of the Cy3 dye, we will see in the gel only the sample that was labeled with that dye . This technique is used to see changes in protein abundance for example, between a sample of a healthy person and a sample of a person with disease . It overcomes limitations in traditional 2D electrophoresis that are due to inter gel variation. This can be considerable even with identical samples. Since the proteins from the different sample types e.g. healthy diseased, virulent non virulent are run on the same gel they can be directly compared. To do this with traditional 2D electrophoresis requires large numbers of time consuming repeats. In experiments comprising several gels, a common technique is to include an internal standard in each gel. The internal standard is prepared by mixing together several or all of the samples in the experiment. This allows the measurement of the abundance of a protein in each sample relative to the internal standard. Since the amounts of each protein in the internal standard is known to be the same in every gel, this method reduces inter gel variation. ref Alban, A., David, S.

Nucleic acid molecules which are to be analyzed are set upon a viscous medium, the gel , where an electric field induces the nucleic acids to migrate toward the anode , due to the net negative charge of the sugar phosphate backbone of the nucleic acid chain. The separation of these fragments is accomplished by exploiting the mobilities with which different sized molecules are able to pass through the gel. Longer molecules migrate more slowly because they experience more resistance within the gel. Because the size of the molecule affects its mobility, smaller fragments end up nearer to the anode than longer ones in a given period. After some time, the voltage is removed ... accurate resolution. Voltage is, however, not the sole factor in determining electrophoresis of nucleic ... acid to be separated can be prepared in several ways before separation by electrophoresis. In the case ....

Pulsed field gel electrophoresis is a technique used for the separation of large DNA deoxyribonucleic acid DNA molecule s by applying an electric field that periodically changes direction to a gel matrix. Image Microbiologist 01.jpg right thumb 200px A microbiologist running a pulsed field gel electrophoresis test used in bacterial typing. Historical background Standard DNA electrophoresis gel electrophoresis techniques for separation of DNA molecules provided huge advantages for molecular biology research. However, it was unable to separate very large molecules of DNA effectively. DNA molecules larger than 15 20kb migrating through a gel will essentially move together in a size independent manner. At Columbia University in 1984, Schwartz and Charles Cantor Cantor developed a variation on the standard protocol by introducing an Alternating current alternating voltage gradient to improve the resolution of larger molecules. ref Schwartz DC, Cantor CR. Separation of yeast chromosome sized DNAs by pulsed field gradient gel electrophoresis. Cell. 1984 May 37 1 67 75. ref This technique became known as Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis PFGE . The development of PFGE expanded the range of resolution for DNA fragments by as much as 2 orders of magnitude. Procedure The procedure for this technique is relatively similar to performing a standard gel electrophoresis except that instead of constantly running the voltage in one direction, the voltage is periodically switched among three directions one that runs through the central axis of the gel and two that run at an angle of 120 degrees either side. The pulse times are equal for each direction resulting in a net forward migration of the DNA ... longer than normal gel electrophoresis due to the size of the fragments being resolved and the fact ...

In biochemistry , a protein ligand is an atom , a molecule or an ion which can bind to a specific site the binding site on a protein. Alternative names used to mean a protein ligand are affinity reagents or protein binders. To date, antibodies are the most widely used protein ligands in life science investigations, however, other molecules such as Scaffold proteinprotein scaffolds , nucleic acids , peptides are also being used. ref Taussig MJ et al, 2007. ProteomeBinders planning a European resource of affinity reagents for analysis of the human proteome. Nat Methods. 2007 Jan 4 1 13 7. ref Main methods to study protein ligand interactions are principal hydrodynamic and calorimetric techniques, and principal spectroscopic and structural methods such as Fourier transform spectroscopy Raman spectroscopy Fluorescence spectroscopy Circular dichroism Nuclear magnetic resonance Mass spectrometry Atomic force microscope Paramagnetic probes Dual Polarisation Interferometry Other techniques include fluorescence intensity, bimolecular fluorescence complementation, FRET fluorescent resonance energy transfer FRET quenching surface plasmon resonance, Bio Layer Interferometry , Coimmunopreciptation indirect ELIS, equilibrium dialysis, gel electrophoresis, far western blot, fluorescence polarization anisotropy, electron paramagnetic resonance, Microscale Thermophoresis The dramatically increased computing power of supercomputers and personal computers has made it possible to study protein ligand interactions also by means of computational chemistry . For example, a worldwide grid of well over a million ordinary PCs was harnessed for cancer research in the project grid.org , which ended in April 2007. Grid.org has been succeeded by similar projects such as World Community Grid , Human Proteome Folding Project , Compute Against Cancer and Folding Home .
