The more basic the gradient the unsharper the bands (Peter Reiter, Gelita, Eberbach, Germany)

Basic Peptides
Basic peptides don’t like to be driven to their isoelectric points! What they like is to have their maximal positive charges. They also have no affinity to the negatively charged SDS-molecule. So they should be separated in a native cathodal electrophoresis. An acidic buffer will do this in a perfect way.

Native cathodal electrophoresis: Basic peptides want to be separated in an acidic buffer. Here they are charged (+)!
In native electrophoresis you will have no relation to mol-weight! Double dimensional electrophoresis shows this. First dimension = native cathodal electrophoresis Second dimension = SDS-electrophoresis
