Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which technique is best suited for the separation of charged biomolecules based on their size?
  • Step 1: Understand that biomolecules can be charged, meaning they have an electrical charge.
  • Step 2: Learn that size is an important factor in how these biomolecules move in an electric field.
  • Step 3: Know that capillary electrophoresis is a technique that uses an electric field to separate charged molecules.
  • Step 4: Realize that in capillary electrophoresis, smaller molecules move faster than larger ones when an electric field is applied.
  • Step 5: Conclude that capillary electrophoresis is effective for separating charged biomolecules based on both their size and charge.
