Is DNA smaller or bigger than a protein?

Let's put it this way, we know that electrophoresis is a test for the sizes of the fragments of DNA molecules while SDS-page is a test of the size of protein molecules. If you use electrophoresis to test the differences of protein, there will not be any bands as all the protein will travel to the end of SDS-page. Therefore, we can conclude that the pores of electrophoresis is much more larger than SDS-page. Since electrophoresis has larger pores than SDS-page, it also shows that overall DNA is larger than protein in size.

Why the marker lanes are used during electrophoresis?

The marker lanes are important in electrophoresis because in these lanes peptides or proteins with known molecular sizes and weights (standards) run beside, on the same gel, with the sample and the Rfs (relative mobilities) of the developed bands of the unknown proteins can be compared with those of the standards.

Protein electrophoresis and how its carried out?

An example of protein electrophoresis is SDS-PAGE ( sodium do-decyl sulpahate-polyacrrlamide gel electrophoresis).Another example includess " isoelectric focusing".In isoelectric focusing the protein is separated on the basis of its net charge.The main principle lies on the basis of finding isoelectric point i.e. at which the net charge on the protein is zero.The protein is loaded in the gel and then it separates itself on the basis of the charge.NEgatively charged on the negative side and positively gharged on the positive side and the neutral ones in the centre.
