Allelic Heterogeneity within Allozymes Separated by Electrophoresis in Drosophila pseudoobscura

Electrophoretic separation of esterase-5 allozymes of Drosophila pseudoobscura in gels of different acrylamide concentrations and in different buffer systems has revealed the existence of six different alleles within the most frequent class, esterase-51.00, and three alleles in the other most freque...

Summary:Electrophoretic separation of esterase-5 allozymes of Drosophila pseudoobscura in gels of different acrylamide concentrations and in different buffer systems has revealed the existence of six different alleles within the most frequent class, esterase-51.00, and three alleles in the other most frequent class, esterase-51.07. Two of the alleles affect subunit binding. Esterase-5 allozyme classes based on electrophoresis in 5% acrylamide gels are therefore highly heterogeneous.
