N-number: A protein has a molecular mass of 400 kDa when measured by size-exclusion dodecyl sulfate (SDS), the protein gives three bands with molecular masses of 180, chromatography. When subjected to gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium 160, and 60 kDa. When electrophoresis is carried out in the presence of SDS and the reducing agent, dithiothreitol (DTT), three bands again form, this time with molecular masses of 160, 90, and 60 kDa. How many subunits does the protein have, and what is the molecular mass of each?

While performing absorbance measurements of standard solutions, Taranpreet used - 8 mL of solution in the cuvette for each determination. She then repeated the same measurements using - 6 mL of solution In the cuvette for each determination, For each set of measurements, she used the same spectrometer with the same cuvette, and assume that for each set of measurements the cuvette was filled high enough such that the light from the spectrometer passed through the solution. Which statement is true? O a) Using a lower volume in the cuvette will have no effect on the measured values O b) Using a lower volume in the cuvette will result in a smaller slope for the calibration curve c) Using a lower volume in the cuvette will result in a lower concentration of analyte determined in the unknown sample O d) Using a higher volume in the cuvette may result in absorbance values that are above the detection range of the spectrometer O e) Using a higher volume in the cuvette may result in a…

Pick all that are TRUE regarding analysis of quaternary structures of proteins using polyacrylamide electrophoresis:I. The added β-mercaptoethanol disrupts S--S bonds bridging the polypeptide chains causing the appearance of higher Rf bands compared to the native protein run. II. Heating up any protein before subjecting to SDS-PAGE will always result in the formation of more than one band.III. A good asymmetrical gel layout would be : (Lane 1) MW ladder, (2) native protein, (3) protein + β-ME, (4) protein + HCL, (5) protein + β-ME + HCl.IV. Formation of a single band in the protein + β-ME + HCl run, whose Rf is lower than the native run, could be indicative that the protein is a homodimer.A. I onlyB. I and IIC. II and IIVD. None is true.pls explain

Iman has a mixture of two compounds A and B. A is a protein, and B is a lipid. He plans to separate the mixture using a column chromatography technique. He packed the column with amino bonded with siloxane material and use a mixture of 20:80 of water: hexane as the mobile phase. i) Sketch the apparatus set up for the chromatographic technique used by Iman. Use the correct chromatographic terminologies to label all of the apparatus, materials, and phases. ii) Predict the sequence of elution when the mixture was loaded onto the separation column. Justify your answer. iii) After the first compound was eluted, Iman discovered that the second compound was taking too long to pass through the column. Please suggest any strategies that could be used to aid the elution process.
