Protein Omicron contains 4 subunits. Two subunits are 65 kDa in size and are held together by a disulfide bond. One subunit is 82 kDa and the last subunit is 45 kDa. You forget to add beta-mercaptoethanol to your protein sample before loading the sample on the polyacrylamide gel. What size bands would you see

The correct answer is - 130 kDa, 82 kDa, 45 KDa.

Explanation:

In the question given is there are 4 subunits in protein omicron in which two subunits are - 65 kDa and the other two subunits are - 85 kDa and 45 kDa.

So the size band would be in absence of beta-mercaptoethanol which is very essential to break down disulfide bonds that held together these subunits:

Size band = 65 KDa + 65 KDa

= 130 KDa  (one band) ( 65+65=130),

82, 45 as without beta mercaptoethanol disulfide bond is not broken .

Thus, the correct answer is - 130 kDa, 82 kDa, 45 KDa.

then that particular organisms become extinct.

emerging idea only occurs as a raw idea that could appear out of nowhere. meanwhile, to reach scientific consensus , that idea must be structured and tested over and over again through various experiments. the scientific consensus transforms the raw idea into idea that is more reliable through the process of scientific elimination.
