Abstract
The ability of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) techniques to resolve individual proteins of complex mixtures has resulted in this group of methods being indispensable to the protein biochemist. Although PAGE procedures can provide characterization of proteins in terms of their charge, size, relative hydrophobicity, and abundance, they provide no direct clues to the identity or function of the separated components.
