| Abstract: | Membrane proteins were fractionated electrophoretically in polyacrylamide gels containing either anionic or cationic detergent at either pH 2.4 or 8.3. In all four systems, polypeptides migrated as monomers bearing the charge of the detergent ion and semi-logarithmic molecular weight–mobility relationships pertained. Electrophoresis of erythrocyte membrane proteins in these systems yielded very similar protein staining patterns but revealed significant differences in sialoglycoprotein migration. |
