Introduction:
Agarose, a polysaccharide derived from seaweed, is a ubiquitous material in molecular biology research due to its unique gel-forming properties. This article provides an in-depth exploration of agarose, including its chemical characteristics, diverse applications, and experimental techniques utilized in laboratory research.
1. Chemical Properties of Agarose:Agarose is a linear polymer composed of repeating units of agarobiose, linked by alternating α-1,3 and β-1,4 glycosidic bonds. It is highly biocompatible, transpar...
