Write the MW of each subunit and explain the obtained answer.
You are given a protein solution with a concentration of 0.15 mg/ml. Suppose that we want to prepare a solution containing 100 μg of the protein at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. To achieve this, we will first dry down enough protein solution to obtain 100 μg of proteins. How much solution do we need for drying down? How much volume of H2O do we need to add to the dried protein to obtain the desired concentration?
