Electrophoretic mobility

Electrophoretic mobility is a measure of how quickly particles, like DNA or proteins, move through a liquid when an electric field is applied. Imagine charges moving like a current in water: negatively charged particles move toward the positive side, while positively charged ones move toward the negative side. The speed of this movement depends on factors like the size and charge of the particles and the properties of the liquid. This technique is commonly used in laboratories to separate and analyze biological molecules, aiding in research and medical diagnostics.
