Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Electrophoresis carried out in acrylamide gel, often used for the study of individual proteins in serum, particularly genetic variants and enzymes. Three gel layers are constructed, differing in composition and pore size: separation gel, spacer gel, and bottom separation gel. The actual ion separation is based on the charge and molecular size and takes place in the bottom gel layer. 5, record 1, English, - polyacrylamide%20gel%20electrophoresis

La température de fusion d'un produit PCR (ADN double brin), c'est-à-dire la température moyenne de séparation des deux brins est fonction de sa séquence. Une mutation ponctuelle qui change donc la séquence entraîne une modification de la température de fusion. Cette modification est mise en évidence par électrophorèse sur gel de polyacrylamide en présence d'un gradient d'agent dénaturant. 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9lectrophor%C3%A8se%20sur%20gel%20de%20polyacrylamide
