Answer:

as a dimer consisting of two identical monomers (80 kDa subunits) that are packed together via hydrophobic interactions

Explanation:

SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis), is an electrophoretic methodology used to separate proteins that have a molecular weight between 5 to 250 kDa. SDS is a well-known ionic detergent that is able to break hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds. Moreover, size-exclusion chromatography is a filtration technique that separates molecules in solution according to their molecular size. In this case, SDS-PAGE showed that the target protein is composed of two identical subunits (monomers) of 80 kDa each, which were separated by the detergent and formed one single band in the SDS-PAGE gel.

What's longer east or west
Phoenix [80]
If we talk about mathematics and the science behind geography, east and west are directions that may represent infinitely. The reason why quantity exist is to measure and create scales on how far an object is from the origin or the point of locus.
These directions can be compared to a line in math which is an endless and limitless progress of points connected without a direction however, incorporating a specific direction could still represent a endless point of west; an endless point to east. Conclusively both are infinite and long unless determined and specified by a continouous measure.

what is meant by an atp cycle and why is it an important frequent event in cells? how does this involve adp
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Please find the explanation to this question below

Explanation:

The ATP cycle is the series of reactions involving glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation that produces/synthesizes ATP in living cells. These processes collectively is called CELLULAR RESPIRATION. Glycolysis produces 2ATP molecules, Krebs cycle produces 2ATP while the electron transport chain (oxidative phosphorylation) produces 34ATP molecules.

This cycle of ATP as explained above is an important frequent event in cells because all organisms need energy to carry out their metabolic activities. ATP is the energy-carrying molecule that stores and releases energy for use by the cells, hence, it needs to be produced on a frequent basis.

ATP can be likened to a charged battery ready to release its stored energy. The energy is stored in the phosphate bonds that makes up its structure. When ATP releases its energy, it becomes ADP (Adenosine diphosphate). However, ADP is a reactant in the ATP cycle, which is phosphorylated with an inorganic phosphate (Pi) and catalyzes by ATP synthase to form ATP.
