Lecture5:8/29 CHAPTER5 TechniquesinProteinBiochemistry Chapter5Outline Theproteomeistheentiresetofproteinsexpressedandmodifiedbyacell underaparticularsetofbiochemicalconditions. Unlikethegenome,theproteomeisnotanunvaryingcharacteristicofthe cell. Proteinpurificationrequiresatest,orassay,thatdetermineswhethertheprotein ofinterestispresent. Anassayfortheenzymelactatedehydrogenaseisbasedonthefactthata productofthereaction,NADH,canbedetectedspectrophotometrically. Proteinpurificationsaremonitoredinpartbydeterminingthespecificactivityof theproteinbeingpurified. Inthecaseofanenzymepurification,specificactivityistheratioofenzymeactivity toproteinconcentration.

Molecularexclusionchromatography(gelfiltrationchromatography) Molecularexclusionchromatography(gelfiltrationchromatography)allowsthe separationofproteinsonthebasisofsize.

Affinitychromatography High-pressureliquidchromatography(HPLC) Theresolvingpowerofanychromatographictechniqueisrelatedtothe numberofpotentialsitesofinteractionbetweentheproteinandthe columnbeads. Veryfinebeadsallowmoreinteractionsandthusgreaterresolvingpower, butflowratesthroughsuchcolumnsaretooslow.
