pls explain why Which of these CANNOT BE achieved using SDS-PAGE?I. Estimate the MW of a protein.II. Confirm the identity of a protein.III. Confirm the presence of quaternary structure in the protein.IV. Give a qualitative assessment of the protein extract purity.V. Determine the shape of the protein.a. II and Vb. III and IVc. I, III and Vd. I, II, and IV Which of the following statements are TRUE about the discontinuous gel in SDSPAGE?I. The sandwich effect occurs because of the lower mobility of the zwitterionic form of glycine compared to the protein band in the stacking gel.II. Because of the larger pores in the resolving gel, proteins move faster in the stacking gel, but decelerate at the boundary of the two gels.III. In the stacking gel, in terms of net negative charge of the species, the order is: zwitterionic glycine > proteins > chloride ion.IV. The higher pH in the resolving gel allows glycine to carry a more negative charge, resulting in higher mobilities compared to…
"Regarding resolution of mass spectrometers and various ways mass of peptides can be represented, which is or are true? " "A larger peptides will have a smaller difference between the monoisotopic and average masses, compared to smaller peptides, because the contribution of 13C is greater. " Higher resolution allows investigators to distinguish between monoisotopic masses and other masses of otherwise identical peptides. "Average mass size is always smaller than monoisotopic mass, because 13C and 15N contribute to monoisotopic mass. " "Monoisotopic mass is calculated as if there are no heavy isotopes within the peptide, and so is always smaller than the average observed mass."
You have isolated from a rare fungus an octapeptide that prevents baldness and you wish to determine its amino acid sequence. The amino acid composition is K2, D, Y, F, G, S, A. Reaction of the intact peptide with dansyl chloride yields dansyl-A. Cleavage with trypsin yields peptides whose compositions are: (K, A, S) and (G, F, K) plus a dipeptide. Reaction with chymotrypsin releases free D, a tetrapeptide with composition (k, S, F, A) and a tripeptide whose composition following acid hydrolysis is (G, K, Y). The enzymatic digests are each carried out on the whole, undansylated peptide.What is the sequence?
