ABSTRACT

Gel electrophoresis holds a special place among the methods for protein analysis. It is fair to state that it is the most widely used procedure in protein studies. At some point in their work on proteins, researchers are likely to use gel electrophoresis or at least contemplate using it. The technique is familiar to everyone working with biomolecules and to the general public as well through accounts of its use in genomics, proteomics, diagnostics, and forensics. The widespread utilization of gel electrophoresis is undoubtedly because of its high resolution and its ease of use.
