Is it possible to see oligomers on SDS-PAGE?

01 January 1970 0 8K Report

Hello, I am concerning,if it is possible to see oligomers on SDS-PAGE gel. Theoretically, mass should be higher on gel but on the other hand during addiing buffer and boiling the samples all the covalent bonds are suspected to be broken. What do you think?
