      Laboratory Techniques in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology: Electrophoresis of Proteins in Polyacrylamide and Starch Gels discusses the various areas of concerns in electrophoresis. The text first discusses the applicability of starch and acrylamide zone electrophoresis, and then proceeds to covering acrylamide gel. Next, the book details the apparatus and techniques along with the methods to allow recovery of separated materials. The last chapter tackles starch gel. The book will be of great interest to biochemists, chemical engineers, and molecular biologists.
