Protein Purification

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Woo
Hoo
Gel filtration chromatography (size)   big molecules have a shorted path because they cannot fit trough, can only go around. medium is a bit longer. small is longest, can fit through so must go through all.  
🗑
Dialysis   Semi-permeable membrane (excludes material at molecular level), Permeable (allows small molecules and water to pass), Impermeable (does not allow large molecules).  
🗑
Dialysis   for rapid dialysis, maximise area of membrane/volume of solution.  
🗑
SDS-page   Similar to electrophoresis but SDSP added to sample which applies a negative charge to each protein in proportion to its mass. SDS allows proteins to be separated strictly by molecular weight.  
🗑
Silver stain   used to make invisible protein bands visible (BLACK)  
🗑
Comassie blue   makes protein bands blue, less sensitive.  
🗑
Mass spectrometry   Accurate reading of molecular weight, down to a single atom.  
🗑
Cation-exchange chromatography   Has -vely charged polymer beads. Rate of movement determined by net charge at the pH used. More -ve proteins move faster because like charges repel.  
🗑
Isoelectric focussing IEF   Charge on a protein is affected by pH. A pH gradient is set up and an electric current is passed through. When protein reached pI, it stops.  
🗑
2D-PAGE   first dimension = IEF, separation by charge. second dimension = SDS-PAGE, separation by size. decreasing Mr vertically, decreasing pI horizontally.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
