PPT 14 Affinity chromatography explained

Affinity chromatography takes advantage of the fact that some proteins have a high affinity for specific chemicals or chemical groups. Beads are made with the specific chemical attached. A protein mixture is passed through the column. Only protein with affinity for the attached group will be retained. The bound protein is then released by passing a solution enriched in the chemical to which the protein is bounds.

An antibody is a protein synthesized in response to the presence of a foreign substance called an antigen

PPT 37 antibodies that recognize only one epitope

An antibody-producing cell synthesizes antibodies that recognize only one epitope. Each antibody-producing cell thus synthesizes a monoclonal antibody

An assay, which should be based on some unique biochemical property of the protein that is being purified, allows the detection of the protein of interest.

gradient centrifugation

An ultracentrifugation technique used to separate large biomolecules or molecular complexes. A linear gradient of viscous solution is created in a centrifuge tube—for instance, a gradient of 5% to 20% sucrose. The sample is layered on the top of the gradient, and the tube is centrifuged at high speeds. Large, dense molecules or complexes move through the gradient faster than smaller complexes. The separated complexes are harvested by making a hole in the bottom of the tube and collecting drops. Also called zonal centrifugation.

Blood transfusions have been made safe by antibody screening of donor blood for viruses that causes AIDS, hepatitis, and other infectious diseases. Monoclonal antibodies also find uses as therapeutic agents. Trastuzumab (Herceptin), for example, is a monoclonal antibody useful for treating some forms of breast cancedr

IT allows separation of proteins in a gel on the basis of their relative amounts of acidic or basic amino acids. If a mixture or proteins is placed in a gel with a pH gradient and an electrical field is applied, proteins will migrate until they reach their isoelectric point, the pH which they have no net charge

PPT 4 What is lactate dehydrogenase ?

Lactate dehydrogenase is an enzyme found in nearly all living cells. LDH catalyzes the conversion of lactate to pyruvate and back, as it converts NAD⁺ to NADH and back. A dehydrogenase is an enzyme that transfers a hydride from one molecule to another. LDH exists in four distinct enzyme classes. The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) test looks for signs of damage to the body's tissues. LDH is an enzyme found in almost every cell of your body, including your blood, muscles, brain, kidneys, and pancreas. The enzyme turns sugar into energy. The LDH test measures the amount of LDH in your blood or other body fluid

PPT 11 What is the procedure called that allow protein to be purified by their size?

Molecular exclusion chromatography

Procedure for separating cellular components according to their size and density by spinning a cell homogenate in a series of centrifuge runs. After each run, the supernatant is removed from the deposited material (pellet) and spun again at progressively higher speeds. ** Cells disrupted in a homogenizer, and the resulting mixture, called the homogenate, is centrifuged in a step-by-step fashion of increasing centrifugal force. The denser material will form a pellet at lower centrifugal force than will the less dense material. The isolated fraction can be used for further purification

put those bad boys under high pressure to increase the amount of interactions... explained below •Proteins can be purified according to solubility, size, charge, and binding affinity. -The resolving power of any chromatographic technique is related to the number of potential sites of interaction between the protein and the column beads. Very fine beads allow more interactions and thus greater resolving power, but flow rates through such columns are too slow. -High-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) uses very fine beads in metal columns and high-pressure pumps to move the liquid through the column. Because of the increased number of interaction sites, the resolving power of HPLC is greater than normal columns.
