Does the pH of the solution (alkaline or acidic) in which hemoglobin electrophoresis is done affect the charge on hemboglobin (& thus its migration to either anode or cathode)? If so, how?
Thanks!

Btw, found this on studyblue.com. Not sure if its correct, and really cant make sense of it:

Hb electrophoresis migration in Basic solution (fastest to slowest)

Carolina
Sucks
At
Football
Hb positively charged, ID's Hb S from C



Hb electrophoresis migration in Acid solution (fastest to slowest)

Hyperspace
Breakneck
Accelerating
Fast
Slow
Crawl (A2)

Hb neg charged, migrate to anode
