Gel electrophoresis separates molecules by size; negatively charged DNA moves towards the positive electrode, with smaller molecules traveling faster and further.
Gelelektrophorese trennt Moleküle nach Größe. DNA-Moleküle sind negativ geladen und ein an die Gele angelegter Strom bewirkt, dass sich DNA-Moleküle zum positiven Ende bewegen. Kleinere DNA-Moleküle bewegen sich schneller und weiter.
| Text | Gel electrophoresis separates molecules according to size. DNA molecules are negatively charged, and a current applied to the gels makes DNA molecules move to the positive end. Smaller DNA molecules move faster and further. |
