SDS gel electrophoresis can be used to determine a.) The molecular mass of denatured protein subunits b.) Whether subunits in a protein complex have the identical sequence c.) The molecular mass of a native protein complex d.) The overall charge on a polypeptide
Proteins
We generally tend to think of proteins only from a dietary lens, as a component of what we eat. However, they are among the most important and abundant organic macromolecules in the human body, with diverse structures and functions. Every cell contains thousands and thousands of proteins, each with specific functions. Some help in the formation of cellular membrane or walls, some help the cell to move, others act as messages or signals and flow seamlessly from one cell to another, carrying information.
Protein Expression
The method by which living organisms synthesize proteins and further modify and regulate them is called protein expression. Protein expression plays a significant role in several types of research and is highly utilized in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein research laboratories.
SDS gel electrophoresis can be used to determine
a.) The molecular mass of denatured protein subunits
The proteins are composed of amino acids and it forms the building block of life. Group of amino acids linked together to form a peptide and linking of two or more peptides forms the polypeptide. The mass of the protein depends on the composition of amino acids.
