Question Answered step-by-step (a) Mark has generated a number of transgenic cotton plants that… (a) Mark has generated a number of transgenic cotton plants that overexpress an antifungal (AFP) protein in the leaves. The protein has a monomeric molecular weight of 54 kDa and has two cysteine residues. The  protein forms a homo-dimer, where the cysteine residues in the two monomers can form two intermolecular disulfide bonds.Mark has previously produced this AFP protein in E. coli and generated rabbit polyclonal antibodies against it. He is able to perform SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis on leaf protein extracts from transgenic and non-transgenic plants.What size protein band(s) does Mark expect to see on the Western blot and why?
