1) Is it possible to use a 12% separating gel to run a set of proteins that range in MW from 10,000 to 250,000 Da? Explain in detail.

2) You have an enzyme UTSase that is composed of three subunits. Two of the subunits are 34 kD and the other is 17 kD. How many bands will you see on an SDS-PAGE? Explain your answer.

3) In paper electrophoresis, you separated amino acids based on charge. What is the variable this time? How do you know that there is only one variable in this separation?

You know the molecular weight of the monomeric Encprotein; however you would like to get an idea of what the pI ofthe protein is. From the following options, what is the best way toestimate that?

[ ] SDS-PAGE

[ ] Size-exclusion chromatography

[ ] 2-D gel electrophoresis

[ ] "Salt out"

Protein analysis: You are attempting to separate a60-subunit protein, Enc, from a mixture of other proteins. Eachmonomer has a molecular weight of 29 kDa. At pH 7.0, the proteinhas a net charge of -12. Which of the following options is the bestway to purify this protein?

[ ] âSalt outâ via ammonium sulfate precipitation and ionexchange chromatography

[ ] Ion exchange chromatography and size-exclusionchromatography

[ ] SDS-PAGE and affinity chromatography

[ ] âSalt outâ via ammonium sulfate precipitation and affinitychromatography

I have two purified samples of the enzyme PKA (ProteinKinase A). One sample is treated with cAMP (cyclic AMP), while theother other is not. The cAMP-treated sample shows 2 bands on anon-denaturing PAGE, whereas the untreated sample shows only 1band. What is the best explanation for this result?

[ ] PKA is activated by cAMP. The active enzyme would show morebands.

[ ] PAGE causes denaturation of the PKA.

[ ] cAMP unfolds PKA.

[ ] cAMP dissociates the regulatory and catalytic subunits ofPKA.

You have some protein sample and you want to quantify itusing a spectrophotometer. You take a small sample of protein andput it in a quartz cuvette, take a wavelength scan, and observeabsorbance intensity at 280 nm. Which of the following is likely tomake it so that you can analyze protein using aspectrophotometer?

[ ] Very concentrated protein sample

[ ] Proteins are composed of chiral molecules

[ ] The number of Trp and Tyr residues found in the amino acidsequence

[ ] All of the above
