Explanation / Answer

Answer = Total MW 41875Da and contains 2 subunits, one with MW - 31000Da and other with 10875Da. Both are joined by disulfide bond.

Total MW identified from EXP1 preliminary MW determination.
Single peak half way between myosin and beta-gal
So, (200000 - 116250 ) / 2 = 41875 Da.

Toatal MW Confirmation by 2 experiments,
Subunit makeup via gel filtration in this single peak that elutes 7% slower than ovalbumin. That means Ovalbumin 45000 Da. 7% means= 45000 X 0.07 = 3150
45000 - 3150 = 41850 Da.
In gel filtration large molecules moves fast than small molecues. Thats why 41850Da molecules elutes 7% slower than 45000 Da molecule.

Another method to confirm Total MW - In subunit makeup Via SDS page.
Small molecule move faster in SDS page than larger molecule. Thats why here 41850Da molecules elutes 7% faster than 45000 Da molecule.

To find how many subunits present in the structure by DIsulfide bons via Gel filtartion
Here mercaptoetanol breaks disulphide bond and elutes 2 bands, one with carbonic anhydrase at 31000 Da and other elutes after lysozyme. It clearly shows other molecule less than lysozyme MW 14400.
41875-31000 = 10875 MW for other molecule.
