A student plans to analyze a protein sample that he suspects to be made of 4 subunits that are non-identical but similar in mole

cular weights. In his lab he has access to only SDS-PAGE and Agarose Gel Electrophoresis. What best describes the scientific method he should use to analyze the protein?

Answer:

Agarose gel electrophoresis is the most suitable method for this analysis.

Explanation:

SDS-PAGE, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, is a procedure used for visualizing and separating proteins according to their molecular weight. The use of sodium dodecyl sulfate and polyacrylamide gel eliminates most of the influence of the tertiary structure and charge, and proteins are separated solely based on polypeptide chain length. So, if the student suspects that the protein sample is conformed of 4 subunits similar in molecular weight, SDS PAGE will likely not separate them.

On the other hand, an agarose gel electrophoresis can separate proteins based on their size AND charge, so, if you suspect that the proteins are not identical but similar in size, the charge factor can be important to separate them in an experiment.

Explain this diagram?????????​
Simora [160]

Answer:

the diagram explains the process of DNA digestion and DNA ligation, which is usually used in molecular cloning techniques  

Explanation:

Molecular cloning can be defined as the process used to synthesize multiple copies of a particular DNA fragment. Molecular cloning requires the insertion of a foreign DNA fragment into an appropriate vector (e.g., a plasmid) through the action of specific enzymes that serve to cut and ligate DNA fragments. DNA digestion and DNA ligation use specific restriction enzymes and DNA ligases, respectively, in order to insert the foreign DNA fragment. For this purpose, restriction enzymes that generate single-stranded overhangs are preferred to create sticky ends which bind by complementary base pairing. Subsequently, a DNA ligase enzyme joins the DNA fragments together in order to create recombinant DNA molecules. DNA Ligation is often achieved by using a specific T4 DNA ligase, while there are many restriction enzymes that generate sticky-ends (e.g., BamHI, EcoRI, BaI228I, etc).
