Practice question
Question
You have purified a protein X and observed the following A. When run on a native PAGE, it gives rise to a single band. B. When run on a nonreducing SDSPAGE, you obtain two bands corresponding to 40kDa and 60kDa C. When run on a reducing SDS page you get three bands corresponding to 60kDa, 30kDa, and 10kDa What can you conclude about the purified protein X?
Explanation
In biochemistry, enzyme catalysis and lipid structure dictates that substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. Therefore X contains at least 3 polypeptide chains that from a complex is correct as it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.
