Electro refers to the energy of

electricity. Phoresis, from the

Greek verb phoros, means

“to carry across.” Thus, gel

electrophoresis refers to the

technique in which molecules

are forced across a span of gel,

motivated by an electrical

current.

Gel Electrophoresis:the separation of molecules,DNA, RNA and proteinsby charge and size

DNA carries a net negative charge; it is negatively charged because the phosphates (red circles) that form the sugar-phosphate backbone of a DNA molecule have a negative charge.

Page 27: © life_edu Lecture 6 Some More Techniques in Biotechnology Issues in Biotechnology: The Way We Work With Life Dr. Albert P. Kausch life edu.us The Mechanics

As the separation process continues, the separation between the larger and smaller fragments increases.

Issues in Biotechnology

DNA tests exclude Martin from gun grip in Zimmerman case September 19, 2012

Another round of evidence was released Wednesday in the second-degree murder case against George Zimmerman, including forensic tests that show Zimmerman’s DNA was the only one that could be identified on the grip of the gun used to shoot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman’s DNA also was identified on the gun’s holster. The tests were inconclusive as to whether Martin’s DNA was on the gun’s holster.

Stock Project The idea is to select five biotechnology companies and invest $100,000 (fictitiously, of course)

Page 62: © life_edu Lecture 6 Some More Techniques in Biotechnology Issues in Biotechnology: The Way We Work With Life Dr. Albert P. Kausch life edu.us The Mechanics

Issues in BiotechnologyStock ProjectYou can spread your money evenly across five companies (i.e.

$20,000 each) or not. For example, if a company is trading at $20/share you can purchase 1,000 shares for $20, 000. Look up companies on Google (e.g.: type Monsanto stock) and record their stock ticker designation (e.g.. MON of the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE). Observe their performance over the past year. Record current trading price per share and calculate how many shares you can buy. You must choose your companies and the number of shares. Submit a single page summary on these results. Toward the end of the course you will look up these same companies and determine the cost per share at that time. Calculate your losses or gains for each company and your total losses and gains. This project will be summarized at the end of the course in a one page summary of losses and gains.

O sweet spontaneous earth how often have the doting  fingers of purient philosophers pinched and poked thee, has the naughty thumb of science prodded thy  beauty    how often have religions taken thee upon their scraggy knees squeezing and buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive gods         (but true to the incomparable couch of death thy rhythmic lover           thou answerest them only with                         spring) e.e. cummings
