Human HMG Family Genes encode ubiquitous non-histone HMG chromatin proteins originally named according to PAGE electrophoretic mobility, shared physical properties, and association with chromatin.

This shift in electrophoretic mobility indicates functional binding between the protein and the DNA.

(Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay, NCI Thesaurus)

The chemically modified nucleotides that interfere with protein-nucleic acid complex formation can be identified by fragmentation and electrophoretic analysis of the DNA isolated from the complexes.

Several analytical techniques are utilized to quantify the metabolic content of specimens such as mass spectrometry and electrophoretic applications.

(Metabolomics, NCI Thesaurus)

Gel electrophoresis is a method of separating large molecules (such as DNA fragments or proteins) from a mixture of similar molecules by electrophoretic filtration through a gelatinous matrix.

(Gel Electrophoresis, NCI Thesaurus)

The High Mobility Group (HMG) proteins were originally isolated from mammalian cells, named according to their electrophoretic mobility in polyacrylamide gels, and were arbitrarily classed as a specific type of non-histone proteins based on the observation that they are ubiquitous to mammalian cells, that they share certain physical properties, and that they are associated with isolated chromatin.
