Best Answer

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.
