You have purified the receptor for a hormone by affinity chromatography. During gel filtration chromatography under native condi

tions the receptor elutes between pyruvate decarboxylase (250 kDa) and glutamine synthetase (620 kDa). During SDS-PAGE, in the absence of reducing agents, the receptor migrates as a single band of approximately 230 kDa. When SDS-PAGE is carried out in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol the receptor migrates as two bands of approximately 95 and 135 kDa. Explain this result.

Answer:

the hormone receptor is a heterotetramer composed of two subunits with 95 kDa and two subunits with 135 kDa

Explanation:

In this case, the heterotetramer is composed of two heterodimers, each composed of two subunits that held together by disulfide bonds. These heterodimers bind together through hydrophobic interactions in order to form a tetramer. The Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) is a denaturing detergent that dissociates both heterodimers by interfering with hydrophobic interactions that hold heterodimers together. It is for that reason that only a single band of 230 kDa is observed (135 kDa + 95 kDa = 230 kDa). Moreover, 2-Mercaptoethanol breaks disulfide bonds, thereby separating the two subunits in the heterodimer. In consequence, after the use of this chemical compound (2-Mercaptoethanol), two different bands with 135 kDa and 95 kDa can be observed.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A or C

Explanation:

Xylem consists of several different types of <u>cells</u>: fibers for support, parenchyma for storage, and tracheary elements for the transport of water. The tracheary elements are arranged as<u> long tubes through which columns of water are raised</u>. In a tree trunk, the innermost part of the wood is dead but structurally strong xylem, while the outer part consists of living xylem, and beyond it, layers of cambium and phloem.

In the ocean how does water temperature change as depth increases
tatuchka [14]
When the upper water layers warm in the summer months, they become separated from deep water by a transition zone known as a thermocline. In a thermocline, the temperature decreases rapidly with small increases in depth. This phenomenon linking temperature change with depth is called temperature stratification.

What are the applications of dipole moment​
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

<em>Applications of dipole moment: </em>

<em> </em>

<em>(i) Ionic character can be calculated using the value of dipole moment. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>% of ionic character = </em>

<em> </em>

<em>=100* (Experimental value of dipole moment/Theoretical value of 100% ionized molecule) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>(ii) Geometry of the molecule can be predicted using the dipole moment. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>(iii) Dipole moment is helpful in predicting nature of the molecule. Weather it is polar or non-polar in nature. </em>
