You have isolated a novel, globular protein. Please pick two experiments to prove (or disprove) the protein is composed of more than one subunit by comparison of results.

Step 1
- Run the isolated protein through a size exclusion chromatography column. - If the protein elutes as a single peak with a molecular weight corresponding to a single subunit, it suggests that the protein is composed of a single subunit. - If the protein elutes as Show more…

You’ve isolated a novel protein that has a homology to a known chromatin remodeling protein, what experiment(s) would you carry out to study the function of the protein?

You have purified a newly discovered protein. The molecular mass of the native protein is determined by sedimentation equilibrium to be 50,000 Da. A single band with a molecular mass of 25,000 Da is observed on SDS-PAGE. Describe some experiments that you could perform to distinguish between two possible quaternary structures: The protein is a homologous dimer. The protein is a heterologous dimer (consists of two non-identical polypeptide chains of identical size).

As a researcher in cell biology, you have identified a new protein, called ZZZ, that has never before been described by science. Suggest 2 (two) techniques you can use to show where in the cell your new ZZZ protein is normally found. (Be sure to give a couple or 3 sentences to adequately describe what you need to do for each technique.)
