Question

A protein has molecular mass of 200 kDa when measured by gel filtration. When subjected to SDS PAGE with and without 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) the gel shown below was obtained.

What is the likely subunit composition of this protein and why?


a. The protein has 4 subunits, with molecular masses 100, 50, 25, and 25 kDa. 25 kDa subunits are linked to each other via noncovalent interactions.
b. The protein has 4 subunits, with molecular masses 100, 50, 25, and 25 kDa. 50 kDa subunit is linked to the one 25 kDa subunit via noncovalent interactions.
c. The protein has 3 subunits, with molecular masses 100, 75 and 25 kDa that are linked by noncovalent interactions.
d. The protein has 4 subunits, with molecular masses 100, 75, 50 and 25 kDa. The subunits are linked by disulfide bonds.
e. The protein has 4 subunits, with molecular masses 100, 50, 25, and 25 kDa. 50 kDa subunit is linked to the one 25 kDa subunit by disulfide bonds.
