the purpose of the fluorescent dye used in electrophoresis is
Answer -
The fluorescent dye used in electrophoresis because it binds to the DNA after which it will be placed in trans illuminator which will show the DNA strands as bright bands(it is due to the property of non protein molecules which absorb light and re emit with longer wavelength). This results in visualizing the DNA.

Gel electrophoresis. Polypeptides can be separated by electrophoresis according to their relative content of acidic and basic residues. The isoelectric point (pI) of a polypeptide is the pH at which its net charge is zero. (See Fig 3.11 of your textbook). A) At physiological pH (= 7.4), what is the net charge on the tripeptide Asp-Arg-Glu-His? B) Calculate the pI of this tetrapeptide. [Hint: Using the pK, values in Table 2.1 and the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, determine the pH when the...
