Calculate size based on gel filtration 1. Convert elution times into elution volumes and calculate Kav for standards (see table below) and the unknown: Kav = (Ve - Vo)/(Vt - Vo) = (24.8 - 16)/(38-16) = 0.40 Standard (daltons) 1,300,000 670,000 440,000 200,000 Log (mol. wt.) 6.11 5.82 5.64 5.30 Elution time (min) 11.4 12.1 12.7 13.2 Elution volume (ml) 22.8 24.2 25.4 26.4 Kav* 0.31 0.37 0.43 0.47
*Could also use Rf = Ve/Vt 2. Plot Kav vs log(mol. wt.) for the standards and extrapolate the size of the unknown.

Explanation of Discrepancy SDS disrupts quaternary structure and dissociates proteins into subunits. Therefore the best explanation for the large size calculated by gel filtration is that the protein is a complex of multiple subunits (eg., six 87 kDa subunits). Protein shape could also affect the calculated size. However, shape affects could not account for the 5-6 fold difference in size. Generally, shape will not affect the calculation by more than two fold.
