Question
Chapter 3, Problem 29P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The polyacrylamide gels can be formed in the presence of changing percentages of acrylamide resulting in different pore sizes. The usefulness of different pore sizes should be determined.
Concept introduction:
SDS-PAGE gel is known as the sodium dodecyl sulfate PAGE. And PAGE is known as the polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It is a modification of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It is an analytical technique in biochemistry for the division of charged molecules in mixtures that are based on their molecular masses present in an electric field.

What is the difference between agarose gels and polyacrylamide gels?
When separated on a polyacrylamide gel, the procedure is abbreviated as SDS-PAGE (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis). The technique is a standard means for separating proteins according to their molecular weight. The gels are neutral, hydrophilic, three-dimensional networks of long hydrocarbons cross-linked by methylene groups.

- Owing to their structural similarity, separation of mixtures of organic compounds (such as the isomers 1-t- butyl-, 3-t-butyl-, and 4-t-butylcyclohexene) often proves difficult. Silica gel chromatography, however, can be used with some success provided that sufficient silica gel is used to provide optimal separation. Consider, for example, the TLC plate pictured at right after developing and UV visualization where prior to elution, lanes A and B were spotted with 1-t-butylcyclohexene and lanes B and C spotted with 4-t- butylcyclohexene. Which of the following must be true? In the space provided, indicate the CORRECT answers (as 1, 2, and/or 3) then explain your reasoning for all three statements. 1. 1-t-butylcyclohexene elutes faster than 4-t-butylcyclohexene. 2.
