Order of elution: Protein 1(80KDa)>Cardiac troponin(24KDa)>Myoglobin(16.7 KDa)> Cytochrome C(11.7 KDa)

Separation in size exclusion chromatography is based on stokes radius.

stokes radius is the radius of hypothetical sphere formed by trumbling of biomolecules in the solution.

stokes radius is directly proportional to molecular weight of the molecule. The molecule with the highest weight have highest stokes radius.

fraction of mobile phase which is present within the beads(stationary phase) is known as internal volume and volume which is present outside is known as void volume.

K​​​​​​d value is the fraction of internal volume which is freely accessible for any separating biomolecule. Molecule with stokes radius larger than permissible limit of stationary phase has k​​​​​d =0, and therefore have no interaction with the internal volume, and travel through the voids between the beads and eluted first whereas the smaller molecules have kd=1, which means they are accessible to the internal volume and travel from within the beads before elution.

Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) is a technique that allows for separation of molecules based on their size. If organic solvents are used to separate polymers, this application is referred to as gel permeation chromatography, and when aqueous solvents are used to separate proteins and soluble macromolecules, this is known as: a.) Titration b.) Paper chromatography c.) P60 chromatography d.) Silica gel column chromatography e.) Gel filtration chromatography

A protein is purified using ultracentrifugation and found to have a mass of 300 kDa. It is further separated on SDS-PAGE and is found to have a single band corresponding to a mass of 100 kDa. When the protein is treated with beta-mercaptoethanol (breaks disulfide bonds), the SDS-PAGE shows 2 bands, one at 20 kDa and one at 80kDa.
