Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay MeSH Descriptor Data 2025


MeSH Heading
Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay
Tree Number(s)
E05.196.401.500
Unique ID
D024202
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D024202
Annotation
coordinate with the specific type of electrophoresis used
Scope Note
An electrophoretic technique for assaying the binding of one compound to another. Typically one compound is labeled to follow its mobility during electrophoresis. If the labeled compound is bound by the other compound, then the mobility of the labeled compound through the electrophoretic medium will be retarded.
