lecture 6 Flashcards
dialysis seperates proteins based on what?
size
name charge based separation
ion exchange chromatography
how does gel filtration separate proteins?
size
how does ultracentrifugation separate proteins?
size
what determines the purification behavior of proteins?
charged groups, hydrophobic regions, size, and solvation
name the positively charged amino acids
lysine, histidine, and arginine
name the negative charged amino acids
aspartate and glutamate
what does sub-cellular fractionation allows?
yield, activity, and specific activity
explain dialysis
separates proteins based on size. larger proteins will stay in hte membrane
centrifugal concentrators are useful for what?
concentrating, desalting proteins
explain gel filtration chromatography
glass tbe contains carbohydrate beads, with small holes in them. smaller proteins will go into the beads and larger molecules will dilute first.
other name for gel filtration chromatography?
size exclusion chromatography
protein must be what in order for size exclusion to work? what happens if does not apply?
proteins must be freely soluble or they will stick to the beads and glass, not allowing them to pass through the bottom
the larger column of size exclusion allowss for better what?
resolution
during size exclusion, which size proteins experience higher mobile phase volume?
smaller proteins
in size exchange, elution volume is proporitional/inverse to molecular weight?
inversely related
how much salt necessary to prevent non specific interactions between proteins and beads?
.15
what is volume of protein injected into size exclusion?
ultracentrifugation allows you to do what? explain process
measure protein mass. form density gradient with sucrose, layer sample on top of gradient, place tube in rotor, proteins will stop when their density is equal to the solution
in ultracentrifugation, which size protein moves slowest? and what dictates this? (equation)
smaller molecules move. s value will tell you. smaller s means slower molecule and therefor the smallest molecule
protein analysis by ultracentrifugation allows for what? (preparative)
sub cellular fractionation -
protein analysis by ultracentrifugation allows for what? (analytical)
analysis of protein mass, density, shape, and bindind
the sedimentation velocity of particle depends on what?
on mass, shape, density
would spherical particles move faster or shorter than spherical ones during ultracentrifugation?
spheres would move faster
would a more or less dense molecule move faster?
