>Lots of proteins don't run at their predicted molecular weights. Predicting
size from SDS-PAGE requires that a certain number of SDS molecules bind per
unit length for the size:negative charge ratio to be correct. If your
protein does not allow for this ratio to be achieved, the protein will
migrate differently.
