Question

What are the best and possible methods fro separation of glucose molecules ( monomere & dimer) from a polysaccharide mixture?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Chromatography is a technique that helps in the separation of the components of a mixture. The mixture is called the mobile phase that travels through the stationary phase. Different molecules pass through the stationary phase at different speeds, which serve to be the principle for the separation of mixtures.

Electrophoresis is a technique that uses both the difference in the molecular size and electrical charge to separate the molecules. The molecules pass through the pores in the gel by applying an electric current. The speed of the movement of the molecules is based on their size.
