    SDS-PAGE is often used to determine the location and orientation of membrane associated proteins. Commonly, experimental preparations of membranes are treated in a variety of ways in order to extract the proteins, which are then subjected to SDS-PAGE. These treatments will affect membrane proteins in different ways, based on how they are arranged in the membrane. One of the most common pre-treatments is by the digestive enzyme trypsin, which degrades polypeptide chains. Trypsin is too large to cross a membrane,...

    please answer all that you can 1. You have genetically engineered green fluorescent protein (GFP) containing a KDEL sequence (GFP-KDEL). When GFP-KDEL is expressed in normal human fibroblasts and examined using fluorescence microscopy, the fluorescence appears diffuse across the cytoplasm. How would you explain this observations given that KDEL is supposed to be an ER-specific sorting sequence? A. This engineered GFP would not have a hydrophobic signal sequence to get it into the RER in the first place. B. The...
