Lecture Flashcards
Band mobility
How fast bands travel
Separate dna and rna by size
Small fragments migrate faster
Band speed and concentration
Heavy band resolve in low gel concentration
Light band resolve in high gel concentration
Resolution
How many pixel it can distinguish from each other
Processes done
Quantification of intact dna via electrophoresis
Detection of contaminants via spectrophotometry
Intense band
Indicate more DNA
Abs 230
Protein backbones and salts
Abs 260
Nucleotides/DNA
Abs 280
Proteins/ aromatic amino acid
Phenol
Absorbed in all absorbance but peak at 270
Starch
Particulate contaminant but absorbance across the board
Salt contamination
Huge absorbance at 230
Protein contamination
Huge absorbance at 230 but larger than salt and will move peak a bit bc 270 is max absorbance
Phenol contamination
Peak will move and be higher
Starch contamination
Higher peak
Contamination and values
Salt and protein will decrease spectrophotmetry value
