Given apparent densities of 4 proteins What do the apparent

Given apparent densities of 4 proteins. What do the apparent densities suggest about these proteins? (Feel free to consult Wikipedia for a description of each of these proteins.)

a. Ribonuclease: 931.5 kg/m^3

b. Hemoglobin: 902.4 kg/m^3

c. Catalase: 696.7 kg/m^3

d. Myosin: 31.06 kg/m^3

Solution

Here the apparent density of 4 proteins were given. The apparent density and molecular weight are related.

Table: Apparent density and molecular weight

From the table it was cleat that as the molecular weight increases the apparent density decreases.
