Amino Acids II: Separation - KEY
1. Explain the order of elution with a buffer pH = 4 of each pair through a column
containing Dowex 50.
Dowex 50 is a cation-exchange resin, so it binds cations most strongly.

Since Dowex 50 will bind cations more strongly, it will repel anions
and Asp will elute first.

and Phe =

Since Dowex 50 resin has a nonpolar nature, more nonpolar molecules
like Phe will elute first.
2. Give the order for amino acid elution with a buffer pH = 4 from a column of
Dowex 1 for a mixture of His, Ser, Asp, Val.
Dowex 1 is an anion-exchange resin, so it binds anions most strongly

4. (22.61) A mixture of 15 amino acids gave the fingerprint down below after
electrophoresis and chromatography. Identify the spots. (Hint 1: Pro reacts with
ninhydrin to produce a yellow color (looks white); Phe and Tyr produce a yellowgreen color (looks grey). Hint 2: Count the number of spots before you start.)

From Hint 2: number of spots = 14
There are 15 amino acids, so 2 of the amino acids didn’t separate and must be very
similar. EX. Leu and Ile
From Hint 1: The white spot is Pro, the two grey spots are Phe and Tyr, the more
polar amino acid (Tyr) should be closer to the origin).

More nonpolar amino acids,
interact more with the mobile
phase and move more.
Asp
Anode (attracts (-) amino acids)
* I differ a little from the solutions manual in the placement of Trp and Leu, Ile:
Trp being an aromatic compound and more soluble in organic solvent I expect to
interact more with the mobile phase than Leu, Ile.
