A purified protein has a molecular mass of 360 kDa when measured by size exclusion chromatography. When analyzed by gel electrop

horesis in the presence of SDS, three bands are observed, with molecular masses of 160, 140, and 60 kDa. When gel electrophoresis is carried out in the presence of SDS and dithiothreitol, three bands are once again observed, with molecular masses of 140, 80, and 60 kDa. What is the subunit composition of the protein?

Answer:

A protein has four subunits whose molecular masses are 140, 80, and 60 kDa.

A disulfide bond links the two 80 kDa subunits (possibly identical).

Explanation:

Given that:

A protein has four subunits whose molecular masses are 140, 80, and 60 kDa.

A disulfide bond links the two 80 kDa subunits (possibly identical).

As a result of SDS and dithiothreitol analysis treatment, the molecular masses can not be 360 in total. They are 280, which implies that they are in short of 80 kDa. This means that there are possibilities that two groups with a molecular mass of 80 kDa which are joined by a disulfide bond.

The presence of SDS and dithiothreitol acts as a reducing agent, and they can break disulfide bonds whose pH is greater than 7, i.e. those in basic condition.

Nuclear fission is the splitting of atomic nuclei, while nuclear fusion is the combining of atomic nuclei.
Simora [160]
Nuclear reactions are those that involve the nucleus of an atom. Nuclear fission involves the splitting of an atomic nucleus and the formation of two distinct atomic species. Nuclear fusion is indeed the combining of two atomic nuclei in order to form a single atomic species. Therefore the answer to the question is true.

Why is tape attracted to my skin? Give explanation
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Since the tape has extra electrons, it has a negative charge. When you move your finger close to the tape, electrons in your skin are repelled and move away. This makes the skin on your finger tip have a slight positive charge. Since positive and negative attract, the tape moves toward your finger.

Discuss the separation of solid of different sizes​
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Chromatography involves solvent separation on a solid medium. Distillation takes advantage of differences in boiling points. Evaporation removes a liquid from a solution to leave a solid material. Filtration separates solids of different sizes.
