- SDS-PAGE and Agarose gel electrophoresis can both be used to separate proteins or protein- complexes based on their size. Separation of a multi-subunit protein complex by SDS-PAGE resulted in two bands with molecular weights of 86 KDa and 136 KDa, while separation of the same complex using Agarose gel electrophoresis resulted in two bands with molecular weights of 222 KDa and 444 KDa. Based on this information, which of the following statements is most likely to be correct? O The complex has a molecular weight of 222 KDa O The complex exists as a dimer of homo-dimers O The complex exists as a dimer of hetero-dimers SE O The complex exists as a trimer, but the individual protein subunits are covalently crosslinked to each otherarrow_forwardbiochem question Write and draw out the three-letter abbreviation of the amino acid sequence histidine,alanine,asparagine,alanine,histidine.
