Expert Solution
Step 1

In  anion exchange form of affinity column chromatography, since the solid state beads are positively charged, a negatively charged protein will interact with the matrix. In denaturing SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis, the protein molecules travel according to their molecular weights. The mobility of the protein in SDS-PAGE  is inversely proportional to the molecular weights.
