Denaturation of protein X yields two subunits, A (MW 8,000) and B (MW 20,000). In order to understand the quaternary structure, a crosslinking experiment was performed with cell extracts

Analysis of the crosslinking products by SDS-PAGE showed four bands of the following molecular weights: 7,800, 19,500, 39,000, and 48,000 . This data suggests that protein X functions in vivo as:
A. a dimer.
B. a trimer.
C. a tetramer.
D The results are inconclusive.


B
