DGGE

Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. Method to separate DNA or proteins by altering the pH inside a gel. As the molecules migrate in the electric field, they encounter denaturing conditions, which slow down their mobility. Different molecules respond differently to the denaturation condition and therefore respond at a different severity of denaturant (resulting in a loss of mobility at a different point in the gel).
