title: The unvalidity of Kohlrausch' regulating function for Svensson's isoelectric focusing and stationary electrolysis at steady state.
abstract: Kohlrausch' regulating function is of important significance in the field of electrophoresis. In this paper, the relative regulating function is defined from Kohlrausch' regulating function. The relative values, including the limited values, of the regulating function for the stationary electrolysis of salt, on which the classic isoelectric focusing (IEF) is based, are computed and compared with the computer program of the QBASIC written by us. The results directly demonstrate that, (1) in a few cases the regulating function is valid for the stationary electrolysis and IEF, whereas (2) the function is, in most of cases, not valid for the stationary electrolysis and IEF at steady-state. Those findings may be useful for the studies on the relationships between Kohlrausch' regulating function and IEF and for the classification of numerous electrophoretic techniques.
