1. Biochemist Liza was asked to perform polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). However, she encountered the ff. problems (a to d) while working in the lab. Identify possible reasons for the error and the implications in the results if she were to proceed with the experiment despite the problem/s encountered. Possible reason for the Implications in the Experimental step said observations experiment a) The gel solution was placed in the cast but did not polymerize. b) Proteins were loaded in the gel but there were no bands upon staining with Coomassie blue while clear bands were seen for standards run alongside the sample. c) The purity of a protein sample is being confirmed 3 bands of different molecular weights were observed after the native-PAGE run d) A protein sample that is expected to have 2 subunits with slight differences in MW was run on SDS-PAGE. After the run only one band was observed.

(b) Both laboratories used 10 micrograms of protein each in their kinetic assays. Protein concentrations weredetermined by the Bradford protein assay. Assay conditions employed in the two labs (pH, temperature,etc.) were also identical. What would be the most plausible cause for the discrepancy in the Vmax valuesfor the compound I? Explain.Recall that the Bradford assay measures total protein amounts in sample solution based on complexformation between a dye and proteins. Also, the assay solution used in both labs does not contain anyinhibitors.
Liquid supported membrane of DGA used for rare earth elements separation. Tell me the background/introduction of this research, current state of the art, motivation, how these membrane are made , what is the appropriate characteristics of them, approaches that author followed, you can describe the problems of that approaches, why rare earth is challenging to separate, why current state of the art do not address that need, include two or 3 results and describe it. take those information from few journal papers and mention the correct citation.

The added β-mercaptoethanol disrupts S--S bonds bridging the polypeptide chains causing the appearance of higher Rf bands compared to the native protein run. II. Heating up any protein before subjecting to SDS-PAGE will always result in the formation of more than one band.III.
