Answer:

Disulfide linkage/bond

Explanation:

The tertiary and quarternary structure of the protein is stabilized by Disulfide linkage which is formed between two thiol groups in the protein. 2-mercaptoethanol is a reducing agent that breaks this disulfide bond.  

A protein becomes denature when it loses its native configuration and becomes inactive. So as 2-mercaptoethanol breaks disulfide bond in protein it looses its native configuration and becomes denatured. 2-mercaptoethanol  is used in SDS-PAGE to separate protein subunits. Therefore the correct answer is Disulfide linkage/bond.

Olin [163]

Answer:

Because each duplicated chromosome consists of two identical sister chromatids joined at a point called the centromere, these structures now appear as X-shaped bodies when viewed under a microscope. Several DNA binding proteins catalyze the condensation process, including cohesin and condensin.

Noam is building an aquarium. He needs to install a system to isolate biological matter and keep the water from getting too dirt
andriy [413]
<span>If Noam chooses a filter, it might be more effective than a screen. After using it for a while, though, he will have to replace it, which could be expensive. A screen might be less effective, but it can be cleaned instead of replaced.</span>
