28. A teacher allocates 4 peptides (peptide sequences shown below) to five students: Samuel, John, Eric, Emma, and Ramus (There are two students getting the same peptide). Peptide 1: AKLFPIEARGQA； Peptide 2: CYTTLNKTG； Peptide 3: GTGPPSGNP； Peptide 4: ASQHPMLWR Samuel says: All the residues in my peptide have only one chiral center.

30. A protein mixture contains protein A, B, C. Protein A: homodimer Mr = 180,000, pI 5； Protein B: Mr = 12,000, pI 7； Protein C: M____r = 150,000, pI 9 Joseph says: When I used SDS-PAGE to separate these three proteins. The sequence of the protein bands shown in gel from top to bottom is A-C-B. Steve says: When I used SDS-PAGE to separate these three proteins. The sequence of the protein bands shown in gel from top to bottom is B-A-C Jacky says: When I dissolved the protein mixture in 20 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7) and loaded it to a cation exchange column equilibrated with the same buffer. Only protein C could bind to the column matrix Simon says: When I dissolved the protein mixture in 20 mM phosphate buffer (pH 8) and loaded it to an anion exchange column equilibrated with the same buffer. Only protein C could bind to the column matrix Clarence says: When I dissolved the protein mixture in 150 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7) and used a gel filtration column to separate them, the elution sequence is B→C→A. Rita says: When I dissolved the protein mixture in 150 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7) and used a gel filtration column to separate them, the elution sequence is A→C→B. Lily says: When I dissolved the protein mixture in 150 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7) and used a gel filtration column to separate them, the elution sequence is C→A→B. Who are correct? (A) Joseph, Simon, and Clarence. (D) Simon and Clarence. (B) Rita and Jacky. (E) Joseph, Jacky, and Rita. (C) Steve, Jacky, and Lily.
