RE: DNA FINGERPRINTING, PROTEIN & GENE SEPARATION
I am in the process of putting a college course on the
Internet relating to electrophoesis. Electrophoresis is FUNDAMENTAL to
the study of biotechnology and is designed for the research,
educational, forensic, and clinical application. This course will
eventually be a requirement at all colleges and universities.
Polyacrylamide is used in the electrophoresis rocess to
separate gels. The gels that are formed using polyacrylamide separate
the molecules by weight and electrical charge, allowing one to view the
smallest components of life, including DNA. The implications of this
process for the medical field alone are stunning. It could one day lead
to the cure of all inherited diseases known to man, including cancer and
heart disease.
I would appreciate any thoughts or feedback that you may
have on this, including links to group(s) or person(s) who might be able
to utilize this information. Samples will also be made available.
Thank You.
