Subunit Composition of a Protein. A protein has a molecular mass of 400 kDa when measured by size-exclusion chromatography ( F). When subjected to gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), the protein gives three bands with molecular masses of 180, 160, and 60 kDa. When electrophoresis is carried out in the presence of SDS and dithiothreitol (=), three bands are again formed, this time with molecular masses of 160, 90, and 60 kDa. Determine the subunit composition of the protein.

- . Pick all that are TRUE regarding analysis of quaternary structures of proteins using polyacrylamide electrophoresis:I. 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. A good asymmetrical gel layout would be : (Lane 1) MW ladder, (2) native protein, (3) protein + β-ME, (4) protein + HCL, (5) protein + β-ME + HCl.IV. Formation of a single band in the protein + β-ME + HCl run, whose Rf is lower than the native run, could be indicative that the protein is a homodimer.A. I onlyB. I and IIC. II and IIVD. None is trueThe vast majority of structures deposited in the Protein Databank (>95%) have been determined using NMR Hard keratins (such as in the skin) are less resistant to stretch because the larger number of disulfide bonds resist deformative forces.

When proteins are dissolved in water, alt polar regions are ionized.Some proteins migrate anomalously in SDS-PAGE gels. For instance, the molecular weight determined from an SDS-PAGE gel is sometimes very different from the molecular weight determined from the amino acid sequence. Suggest an explanation for this discrepancy.A protein has molecular mass of 200 kDa when measured by gel filtration.
