Molecular weight proteins and

The presence of urea as well as the high concentration of acrylamide (%T = 13.35, %C = 6.22) allow the separation especially of low molecular weight proteins and polypeptides. 

A similar diagnostic sensitivity is typical of an increased activity of amylase in urine, which is usually diagnosed earlier and lasts for a longer period of time than in serum (S4). An increase in urinary amylase in AP is mainly attributed to the inhibition of tubular resorption by numerous low-molecular-weight proteins and peptides released from the pancreas altered during infection. Due to the low test specificity, the diagnostic value of determining the ratio of amylase clearance to... 

The selectivity of the reaction also makes the peroxidase-catalyzed io-dination a very good tool for the study of the position of proteins within macromolecular structure such as membranes, ribosomes, and micellular polypeptides. Its use in this way is based on the fact that it is a high molecular weight protein and therefore does not readily penetrate these macromolecular structures. - " If the experimental conditions are correct, it catalyzes the halogenation selectively with those groups on the protein with which the enzyme has access. Thus, when the enzyme has access to proteins on only one side of the macromolecular structure such as the cell membrane, only the accessible proteins will be labeled with iodine. The labeled polypeptide of the macromolecular structure can then be isolated and identified. This provides a general method that can be applied to all macromolecular structures.

A mixture of high molecular weight proteins and DNA is separated by agarose gel electrophoresis. Choose a combination of stains from Table 9.1 that would allow the protein bands to be distinguished from the DNA bands on the basis of color. 

These mobile electron carriers are relatively low-molecular-weight proteins and are both linked to the PS-1 reaction-center complex by electrostatic forces. Plastocyanin is located on the lumen side and is the electron donor to P700, while ferredoxin is located on the stroma side and receives electrons from the terminal, membrane-bound iron-sulfur proteins FeS-A/B. Water is the ultimate source of electrons for plastocyanin reduction. The electron from water is generated by its oxidation by photosystem 11, and transferred by way of cytochrome/in the cytochrome b(f complex. Reduction of NADP by ferredoxin requires mediation by the enzyme ferredoxin-NADP -reductase orFNR. Figure 1, right is a schematic representation of the relationship of the PS-1 reaction center to the peripheral electron carriers plastocyanin and ferredoxin as well as the protein catalyst ferredoxin-NADP -reductase. 

FSGS accounts for less than 15% of the cases of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in children and about 15% to 20% in adults however, it may account for 36% to 80% of the cases in African-Americans. Almost all the patients present with proteinuria, and many of them have all the features of nephrotic syndrome. The proteinuria is nonselective, containing albumin and other higher-molecular-weight proteins, and is usually less severe when compared to patients who have minimal-change disease. Hypertension, microscopic hematuria, and renal dysfunction may be seen in up to half of the patients. Reduced renal function becomes more prevalent as the disease progresses.
