You have isolated a protein and use size exclusion chromatography to estimate its molecular mass to be 120 kDa. By SDS-PAGE you observe two bands at 80 kDa and 40 kDa. You can conclude that: This protein is a homodimer of 80 kDa subunits. This protein is a homotrimer of 40 kDa subunits. O The protein must contain disulphide bonds. The protein has degraded during SDS-PAGE. this protein consists of a heterodimer that contains 80 kDa and 40 kDa subunits.

This protein is a homodimer of 80 kDa subunits.
This protein is a homotrimer of 40 kDa subunits.
O The protein must contain disulphide bonds.
The protein has degraded during SDS-PAGE.
this protein consists of a heterodimer that contains 80 kDa and 40 kDa subunits.
