Overview and Introduction What is two dimensional gel electrophoresis? Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis is also known as 2DE, 2D electrophoresis, or 2D-PAGE. First independently introduced by two scientists named O’farrell and Klose in 1975 for detection, quantification, and analysis of proteins In first dimension, proteins are separated based on their pl value or charge . In second dimension, proteins are separated based on their sizes or molecular weight through SDS-PAGE. Thank you For listening.
