D)Multilocus sequence typing

Question

Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis involves the extraction of proteins from isolates of interest, followed by electrophoretic separation and selective staining of these proteins.The expression of the protein's genotype is reflected in the position of the stained band, according to the protein's mobility.Mobility is determined by the net charge of the protein and also by the structure of the protein.If there are two bands of the same protein in different positions after separation, then this suggests two different conformations of the protein-two alleles of the same gene.
