Question

Hemoglobin is considered to be a tetrameric complex with a 64 kDa (α β)2. When attempting to purify hemoglobin, we must first purify the α and β monomers (about 16 kDa each) to prepare the tetramer. This is formed from the dimer intermediate: 2 α + 2 β -> 2 αβ -> (α β)2. The graph given represents a size-exclusion chromatogram after the refolding of the hemoglobin tetramer

Using the size-exclusion chromatogram given,

1.  Draw an SDS-Page Gel with a reducing agent such as BME using the three peaks listed on the graph.
