If the disulfide bonds in IgG were broken, how many protein chains would be set free

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 13-07-20] [Hit: ]

2 heavy (220 amino acids long each) and 2 light chains (110 amino acids long each), connected via disulfide bonds.......

I think it's 4 because there are 4 peptide chains--( heavy and light), but I don't really know if that's considered as a whole protein?
Can someone walk me through this please.

Correct. Antibodies have 4 subunits. 2 heavy (220 amino acids long each) and 2 light chains (110 amino acids long each), connected via disulfide bonds.
