Introduction: Microfilaments are mainly made up of the actin filament, which is a contractile protein. The G-actin proteins add at the end of the microfilament to polymerize it.

To identify: The curve of the graph, which is showing the condition of polymerization where pyrene-labeled actin is added along with purified Arp2/3 complex proteins and a purified protein fragment that corresponds to active N-WASP ( a WASP family protein).

- Purification of a new unknown protein that you isolated from tissue and Assume that you have reached the following data during the characterization; Gel filtration: Gel filtration in protein native conformation When chromatographed, it has a molecular weight of 240000 daltons (240 kDa) is detected to be around. Gel filtration: The same protein is first denatured with 6 M guanidinium hydrochloride subjected to gel filtration chromatography again under denatured conditions. is retained, and the only column from the column with a molecular weight of about 60000 daltons (60 kDa) a protein is obtained. SDS-PAGE: Protein finally SDS-PAGE in the presence of beta-mercaptoethanol (Sodium dodecyl-sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) analysis being held. As a result of SDS-PAGE analysis, their weight in the gel is approximately 40000 daltons. Two protein bands corresponding to (40 kDa) and 20000 daltons (20 kDa) is observed.
