Abstract excerpt
The applications of isoelectric focusing in immobilized pH gradients to the analysis of (i) human hemoglobin mutants, (ii) animal hemoglobin mutants (from cattle, sheep, dog and mouse), and (iii) tryptic digests of alpha and beta chains, are discussed and evaluated. Immobilized pH gradients appear to be an excellent tool for screening of genetic polymorphism and for detecting "silent mutants", i.e. those...
