Because if the temperature is too high, it will result in both carbamylation of the protein due to the breakdown in urea and the aggregation of proteins. Hence 20 degrees is neither too high or too low for the IEF to run.

The temperature of the IEF (Isoelectric focusing) step is typically set at 20 degrees Celsius to maintain a stable environment for the separation of proteins based on their isoelectric points. This temperature helps prevent protein denaturation while promoting optimal resolution and focusing of the proteins in the gel matrix.
Yes, -20°C is colder than -15°C. The larger the negative value, the colder the temperature.
The temperature change in kelvins is the same as in degrees Celsius. So, the temperature change is 10 kelvins.
The word "temperature" refers to the level of heat (or cold) in a certain atmosphere, for example, outdoors or in someone's home. Temperature is generally measured in units known as either "Celsius" or "Fahrenheit".
To find the final temperature, you can use the formula: heat gained = mass * specific heat capacity * temperature change. First, calculate the heat gained: 1200 calories = 40g * 1 cal/g°C * (final temperature - 20°C). Rearrange the formula to solve for the final temperature: final temperature = 1200 calories / (40g * 1 cal/g°C) + 20°C. Solving this gives the final temperature of 50°C.
The metric unit of measure for temperature is kelvin. Also, room temperature is genally stated as an average. Room temperature would actually vary from person to person depending on the individuals preferences in that area. I am going to state that room temperature is between 68 degrees fahrenheit (20 degrees celsius) and 78 degrees fahrenheit (25.5556 degrees celsius) in order to give one answer. In this case, the average room temperature in metric measurement would be between 293.15 kelvin and 298.706 kelvin.
