During SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, small proteins run faster than large ones due to their ability to navigate through the porous gel matrix more easily. The gel acts like a molecular sieve, allowing smaller proteins to move through the spaces between the polymer chains with less resistance, while larger proteins encounter more obstacles, slowing their movement. Additionally, the SDS detergent imparts a uniform negative charge to proteins, ensuring that size is the primary factor influencing their migration rate.

The function of Polyacrylamide gel in SDS-PAGE?

Polyacrylamide gel in SDS-PAGE serves as a medium for the separation of proteins based on their size. When proteins are denatured with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), they acquire a negative charge proportional to their molecular weight, allowing them to migrate through the gel matrix during electrophoresis. The gel's pore size can be adjusted by altering its acrylamide concentration, enabling the resolution of proteins ranging from small peptides to large complexes. Ultimately, this separation allows for the analysis and characterization of proteins in a sample.


All the solutes are filtered out except proteins (large molecules) during?

Glomerular filtration


What are two substances that do not leave the glomerulus during filtration?

Substances like blood cells and large proteins do not normally leave the glomerulus during filtration in the kidneys. These large molecules are retained in the blood as they are too big to pass through the filtration barrier.


Why can't proteins be absorbed into the bloodstream?

Proteins are broken down into amino acids during digestion, and these amino acids are absorbed into the bloodstream. The body cannot absorb intact proteins because they are too large to pass through the lining of the intestines and into the bloodstream.


Which part of the membrane would help a large protein molecule enter the cell?

globular proteins .


What is differences between agar and agarose?

Agarose is made from agarose, a polysaccharide from see weeds. Polyacrylamide is made from the synthetic polymerization of acrylamide, which in its monomeric form is a neurotoxin. Based on these structural differences, it could be said that agarose gels have larger 'pores' than polyacrylamide gels meaning that large particles can move more easily in agarose gels since the agarose polymers are larger and pack less densely then an equivalent amount of polyacrylamide. Therefore, agarose is generally used for the electrophoresis of large molecules such as DNA and RNA or speedy separation (low resolution) of small molecules such as proteins. Polyacrylamide is used for the high resolution electrophoresis of small molecules such as proteins.


What blood components should not pass into Bowman's capsule?

Red blood cells and larger proteins, such as albumin, should not normally pass into Bowman's capsule during the process of filtration in the kidneys. These components are retained in the bloodstream as they are too large to pass through the filtration membrane.


What molecules during osmosis does not move across the membrane One example?

Large molecules such as proteins are typically unable to move across the membrane during osmosis. One example is starch molecules, which are too large to pass through the membrane pores.
