Protein and DNA electrophoresis are two types of gel electrophoresis methods with a few significant differences.
Protein electrophoresis:
Is a technique used to separate proteins based on size and charge
The procedure uses a polyacrylamide gel, which has smaller pores
Is more time-intensive and requires specialized equipment and reagents
DNA electrophoresis:
Is a technique used to separate DNA based on size and charge
The procedure uses an agarose gel
Is less time-intensive and does not require specialized equipment or reagents
