PLEASE HELP THANK YOU!!!
A new protein of an unknown structure has been purified. gel filtration revealed that the native protein had a molecular weight of 240,000 Da whereas SDS-PAGE electrophoreses shows two peaks of 80,000 da and 40,000 da. The results of the same experiments performed in presence of dithiothreitol are identical to results obtained in absence of DTT. explain what can be determine about the structure of this protein.
From the above experiment we can conclude that the protein has a quarternary structure, i.e. it is made up of multiple monomeric protein subunits.
Actual weight of the protein molecule is 2,40,000 Da. We conclude this from the above experiment using SDS-PAGE which shows two peaks at 80,000 Da and 40,000 Da which are individual monomeric subunits of the given protein.

Carl has just finished purifying a protein and analysis by gel filtration indicated that the molecular weight of the native (undenatured) protein was 130,000 dalton. His advisor wanted him to determine whether this protein had quaternary structure using gel electrophoresis. He wants to be able to describe the molecular weight of each of the subunits and the forces involved in linking these subunits together (disulfide linkages and/or electrostatic, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions). Carl first analyzed his pure protein sample...
