Abstract
Methods of inducing movement and interaction of molecules in an electric field of an electrophoretic device that is configured to cause molecules to move on a convergent path to mimic a living cell. The electrophoretic device is constructed to support an isoelectric focusing medium, such as a gel on a gel plate with spaced charged poles having different configurations to induce non-parallel migration, and in particular to induce convergent migration wherein spacially separated groups of like-kind molecules are driven on pathways to proximity with other group or groups of like-kind molecules. In this manner researchers may devise experiments with multiple substances to track pathways of interaction during osmotic diffusion and polar directed migration through the medium that simulates pathways in a biological cell. The experiment with select substances may be conducted with controlled variations in medium, potential and temperature.
