1. Biochemist Liza was asked to perform polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). However, she encountered the ff. problems (a to d) while working in the lab. Identify possible reasons for the error and the implications in the results if she were to proceed with the experiment despite the problem/s encountered. Possible reason for the Implications in the Experimental step said observations experiment a) The gel solution was placed in the cast but did not polymerize. b) Proteins were loaded in the gel but there were no bands upon staining with Coomassie blue while clear bands were seen for standards run alongside the sample. c) The purity of a protein sample is being confirmed 3 bands of different molecular weights were observed after the native-PAGE run d) A protein sample that is expected to have 2 subunits with slight differences in MW was run on SDS-PAGE. After the run only one band was observed.
