Free-Flow Electrophoresis (FFE) separates proteins based on their electrophoretic mobility in a free-flowing liquid medium rather than a gel.

If proteins are separated according to their electrophoretic mobility then type of electrophoresis is

(a) SDS PAGE
(b) Free flow electrophoresis
(c) Electro focusing
(d) Affinity electrophoresis

 

Correct answer: (B) Free flow electrophoresis


Explanation:

Electrophoretic mobility is the rate at which a molecule moves in an electric field, which depends on factors like charge, size, and shape. Free-flow electrophoresis (FFE) is a specialized technique that separates proteins based on their electrophoretic mobility in a continuous buffer system.


Why is “Free-Flow Electrophoresis” the correct choice?

  • Free-Flow Electrophoresis (FFE) separates proteins based on their electrophoretic mobility in a free-flowing liquid medium rather than a gel.
  • It is useful for separating charged molecules in a continuous manner without the constraint of a gel matrix.
  • Electrophoretic mobility depends on the charge-to-mass ratio of the protein in a given buffer system.

Why Not the Other Options?

  • (A) SDS-PAGE

    • SDS-PAGE separates proteins based on size, not electrophoretic mobility.
    • SDS coats proteins with a uniform negative charge, meaning mobility depends only on molecular weight, not inherent charge.
  • (C) Electro-focusing (IEF)

    • Isoelectric focusing (IEF) separates proteins based on their isoelectric point (pI), not their general electrophoretic mobility.
  • (D) Affinity electrophoresis

    • Affinity electrophoresis separates proteins based on specific interactions with ligands (e.g., antigen-antibody binding) rather than electrophoretic mobility.

Final Answer:

(B) Free flow electrophoresis
