Gel electrophoresis apparatus An agarose gel is placed in this buffer-filled box and electrical field is applied via the power supply to the rear. The negative terminal is at the far end (black wire), so DNA migrates toward the camera.
Gel conditions • For instance, gels used in SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) will unfold and denature the native structure of a protein. In contrast to native gel electrophoresis, quaternary structure cannot be investigated using this method.
