The following points highlight the two main types of membrane potential. The types are: 1. Resting Membrane Potential 2. Action Potential. Type # 1. Resting Membrane Potential: The resting membrane potential may be defined as the net difference in the charge between inside and outside membrane requiring little or no expenditure of energy. In a neurone, this is about -85mV [...]
The following points highlight the four main types of chromatography for biochemical investigation. The types are: 1. Ion-Exchange Chromatography 2. Partition Chromatography 3. Gel Chromatography 4. Gas Liquid Chromatography (GLC). Type # 1. Ion-Exchange Chromatography: (i) Ion-exchange resins are nothing but cross-linked polymers. The polymers must have negligible solubility but be porous enough for the ions to diffuse freely through [...]
