APS (Ammonium persulphate) is used in SDS-PAGE
APS (Ammonium persulphate) is used in SDS-PAGE for (A) preventing oxidation (B) cross-linking (C) its role as a catalyst (D) free radical formation Correct answer: (D) Free radical formation Explanation: […]
Electrophoresis of a purified protein in SDS-PAGE in the presence of b-marcaptoethanol yields two bands
Electrophoresis of a purified protein in SDS-PAGE in the presence of b-marcaptoethanol yields two bands of 35 kDa and 45 kDa. However, in a gel filtration chromatography, the same protein […]
Separated the two proteins from the mixture one is monomeric
What method we should use to separated the two proteins from the mixture in which one is monomeric with MW of 10 kDa and other is of two Homodimer’s with […]
An oligonucleotide bound to a protein migrates slower than the free oligonucleotide in a polyacrylamide gel
An oligonucleotide bound to a protein migrates slower than the free oligonucleotide in a polyacrylamide gel. If antibody specific to the oligonucleotide binding protein is bound to this complex, the […]
Chymotrypsinogen in the native state and reduced unfolded sates is loaded- Gel-electrophoresis
Chymotrypsinogen in the native state and reduced unfolded sates is loaded in well A and B respectively. They are electrophoreses and stain, one of the following results is likely to […]
Proteins A and B having a molecular weight of 16500 and 35400 move 1.3 cm and 4.6 cm
Proteins A and B having a molecular weight of 16500 and 35400 move 1.3 cm and 4.6 cm, respectively, when electrophoresed through a gel. What is the molecular weight of […]
The relative electrophoretic mobilities of a 30-kd protein and a 92-kd protein used as standards on an SDS
The relative electrophoretic mobilities of a 30-kd protein and a 92-kd protein used as standards on an SDS polyacrylamide gel are 0.80 and 0.41, respectively. What is the apparent mass […]
What is an issue with using 2D-PAGE
What is an issue with using 2D-PAGE? a. Hydrophobic proteins may not run as expected due to the hydrophobic surfaces. b. Some proteins may not migrate through polyacrylamide and therefore […]
SDS Used in the Electrophoresis of Proteins
Why is SDS used in the electrophoresis of proteins? a. SDS coats the protein with a negative charge so that the sample can run through the gel. b. SDS is […]
