The majority of proteins contain a uniform positive charge, and a uniform neutral charge, and most proteins have intricate three-dimensional structures that might affect how well they travel through the gel electrophoresis. For these reasons, proteins need to be denatured. Here, the right answers are A, B, and D.

Protein separation is accomplished using a molecular technique called sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, which operates in the proximity of an electric charge. Proteins are separated using SDS-PAGE according to their electrophoretic mobility. Protein charge, shape, and structure all affect electrophoretic mobility.

To proceed in the direction of the positive terminal, the protein molecules need to have a constant negative charge (anode). The overall charge of a protein is determined by the amino acid content of the protein as well as the charge of the individual amino acids.

Thus, depending on the total makeup of amino acids, the charge may change. Depending on the ratio of different amino acids, the total charge of the proteins can be positive, negative, or neutral. The SDS treatment gives the proteins a consistent, negative charge. Then, according to size, the negatively charged amino acids flow toward the positive terminal.

Complete question:

Proteins need to be denatured using an anionic detergent such as SDS before gel electrophoresis because: Select all that apply.

A - most proteins have a uniform positive charge

B - most proteins have complex three-dimensional structures that can impact their movement through the gel

C - the overall charge of a protein depends on the amino acid composition of the protein and can vary greatly

D - most proteins have a uniform neutral charge

Why did bear island provide a great opportunity to decipher entire food chains?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Due to the presence of limited number of species.

Explanation:

Bear island provide a great opportunity to decipher entire food chains because this island has many animals species which interact with each other or depend on one another due to the presence of less animals for feeding purpose. This island is isolated from the rest of the world so it provide a great opportunity to study the entire food chains that are present at that island. There is less number of species so knowing about their feeding choices is easier for the ecologists.

Draw a 3d DNA for me plz
den301095 [7]
I can't draw very well. but, essentially the shape of DNA is a double helix and A pairs with T and T pairs with A. C pairs with G and G pairs with C. No matter what in DNA. What one side has the other side has. The other will always have the match to it on the other side

A= adenine
T=thymine
C=Cytosine
G=guanine

Why do most stars not necessarily die in the time we would normally expect them to?
Ivanshal [37]
The reason why stars does not die when it is there time is because they tend to fuse in different and more heavier elements. In that way, it prevents them from dying for they were able to have the components of different elements, extending their lives and prevent themselves from dying on the time that they were supposed to.
