title: Resolution of high molecular weight proteins in dependence on electric field strength in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
abstract: Resolution of high molecular weight proteins, in the upper region of polyacrylamide gels, was studied in relation to the type of electric field. Separations by constant field gel electrophoresis (CFGE) were compared to those in pulsed oscillatory high-performance electrophoresis (POPE), a novel technique which allows electrophoresis at high field strengths owing to a novel local field distribution. This distribution contributes to structural and mechanical stability of the gel with resultant well-reproducible separation, enhanced resolution, and higher absolute mobility of proteins in POPE.
