The Molecular Weights of Two Reduced and Carboxy-Methylated Keratins by Disk Gel Electrophoresis and a Comparison of Two Methods of Analysing the Results

Abstract

Two methods of treating the results of disk electrophoresis experiments with p£oteins on gels of different porosities so as to estimate molecular weights are discussed. It is concluded that the method based on the slopes of the logarithm of relative mobility versus gel concentration plots (Hedrick and Smith 1968) is equivalent to that of Parish and Marchalonis (1970) but is simpler.
