Answer: to determine protein size
Explanation:
Ladder is a set of standards that are used to identify the approximate size of a molecule run on gel during electrophoresis, Different ladders are available, protein ladder, DNA ladder and RNA ladders. Protein ladder is used in SDS-PAGE gels that allow to determine the location of protein of interest based on it molecular size.
Add Answer to:
Why do we use a ladder in SDS-PAGE gels? to determine SDS-PAGE electrical properties to determine...

A student tried to run an SDS PAGE gel for protein separation in a lysate. He accidently used the Tris, pH8.8, buffer for the stacking gel, and the Tris, pH6.8, buffer for the resolving gel. A. What would the protein bands look like when they reach the end of stacking gel, why? B. What would the protein bands like when they finish the SDS PAGE, why? C. If the student mistakenly used Tris, pH6.8, buffer for both stacking and resolving...

Why are proteins heat denatured prior to analysis in SDS-PAGE? Select all answers that apply. Denaturation of the protein is necessary so that proteins run proportionally to their size, based on the interaction of SDS with the unfolded protein. Heat is used to hydrolyze the peptide bonds of the protein. The heat step allows the proteins to unfold, enabling the protein chain to be coated with SDS molecules. Heat is used to hydrolyze disulfide bonds. QUESTION 2 1.5 points Saved...
