By use of agarose gel electrophoresis, the sieving of spherical particles in agarose gels has been quantitated and modeled for spheres with a radius (R) between 13.3 and 149 nm. For quantitation, the electrophoretic mobility has been determined as a function of agarose percentage (A). Because a prev

Abstract
Modeling the electrophoretic mobility of peptides is examined in this study using a โcoarse grainedโ bead model, or B model for short 8 and also a simpler โeffective sphereโ (ES) model. A comparison between the B and ES models is carried out for peptide models covering a broad range of ionic strength, peptide charge, and peptide length. At ionic strengths lower than approximately 0.013โM, the B and ES models agree to within a few percent. The ES model is much simpler than the B model and is of particular value in certain applications such as complex formation between peptide and other species in the BGE. The mobility behavior of oligoglycine in a borate buffer at high pH can be accounted for when complex formation is included in modeling.
