- Electrophoresis Macmillan Learning Chymotrypsin is a protease with a molecular mass of 25.6 kDa. The figure shows a stained SDS polyacrylamide gel with a single band in lane I and three bands of lower molecular weight in lane 2. Lane I contains a preparation of chymotrypsin and lane 2 contains chymotrypsin pre-treated with performic acid. 1 2 Why does performic acid treatment of chymotrypsin generate three bands in lane 2? ° Chymotrypsin self-digests on the carboxyl-terminal side of phenylalanine, tryptophan, or tyrosine residues. The three peptides are impurities in the original chymotrypsin sample. Performic acid cleaves proteins on the carboxyl-terminal side of lysine and arginine residues. Performic acid cleaves the disulfide bonds holding together the three subunits of chymotrypsin.

- How does a voltage-gated sodium channel work? Specifically, how and why does a change in voltage trigger their opening? Please be detailedarrow_forwardWhen sodium ions enter a neuron during depolarization, they trigger the opening of additional voltage-gated sodium channels nearby, creating a positive feedback loop where the influx of sodium ions further depolarizes the membrane, causing even more sodium channels to open and allowing more sodium ions to enter the cell, thus sustaining the depolarization process until the action potential peaks. But how and why exactly does the influx of sodium ions trigger more sodium channels to let in more sodium?
