 Affinity electrophoresis

Affinity electrophoresis is a specialized technique used to separate and analyze biomolecules, usually proteins or nucleic acids, based on their specific interactions with other molecules. This method combines the principles of electrophoresis with affinity chromatography, relying on the specific binding characteristics between an analyte and a ligand. In affinity electrophoresis, the separation process is typically performed on a gel or in a solution where the desired ligand is immobilized.
