In ion-exchange chromatography, amino acids are separated on the basis of electro-static interactions and hydrophobic interactions with the resin. The chemical structure of the resin pol-ymer with a negatively charged sulfonic acid group is shown to the right. An elution profile for the aminoacids using this resin is given below. Based on the elution profile above, explain the following:
Polymer beads (resin) made of DEAE (diethylaminoethyl) cellulose are packed in an ion exchange column. The total mass of beads in the column is 8.47 kg. On average, each bead weighs 0.0023 g and has an average of 18.4 * 10° positively charged amine groups that can adsorba negatively charged protein that passes through the column. A solution containing 2.07 mg/L of a protein is maintained at pH 6.3 and is passed through the ion exchange column at 0.215 L/min. The protein has a molecular weight of 154,000. The pk, of the amino groups on DEAE cellulose is 7.1, and the pl of the protein is 5.6. 2. A. How long can the column be operated before reaching 80% capacity (i.e., 80% of the amino groups on DEAE are bound to the protein through an ionic bond)? You may assume that one protein attaches to one + charge on the beads (although it's possible that proteins attach to more than one + charge). B. After reaching 80% capacity, explain what you would do to release the protein attached to the…
A solution containing egg albumin (pl=4.6), B-lactoglobulin (pl=5.2), and chymotrypsinogen (pl=9.5) was loaded onto a column of diethylaminoethyl cellulose (DEAE-cellulose) at pH 5.4.The column was then eluted with a pH 5.4 buffer, with an increasing salt concentration. Predict the elution pattern.
what are examples of general equations showing the ionization of a protein in acid medium and in basic medium. What medium favors acid ionization? Basic ionization?
Phosphate buffers are commonly used to mimic biological systems. Given that phosophoric acid is a triprotic acid with three pKas (2.12, 7.21, and 12.32), why do you think this is? What are the dominant buffering compounds present in a phosphate buffer near physiological pH?
When comparing the biuret reaction to measuring protein absorbance directly at 280 nm, list two benefits of utilizing the biuret reaction to quantify protein concentration.
A protein gives, under conditions of buffer composition, pH, and temperature that are close to physiological conditions, a molecular weight by sedimentation equilibrium measurements of 140,000 g/mol. When the same protein is studied by SDS gel electrophoresis in the absence or presence of the reducing agent β-mercaptoethanol (BME), the patterns seen in lanes A and B respectively are observed. Lane C contains standards of molecular weight indicated. From these data, describe the native protein, in terms of the kinds of subunits present, the stoichiometry of subunits (that is, how many of each subunits are present), and the kinds of bonding (covalent, non-covalent) existing between subunits
You are given a pure protein sample to characterize and provided the following information: Its molar extinction coefficient, ε280, is 0.25 liters micromole-1 cm-1 in both the folded and unfolded form Its ΔGo for unfolding is 1.5 kcal/mol at 37o (where RT = 0.59 kcal/mole) A) Using a 0.5 cm pathlength cell, you measure the absorbance at 280 nm of a 20-fold dilution of your pure protein in solution (by this, we mean that 50 ul of the protein sample was diluted to a final volume of 1 ml) and find A280 = 0.40. What is the original concentration of the protein before dilution? B) What is the concentration of the unfolded form of the protein in your sample?
A series of standard proteins and an unknown enzyme were studied by gel filtration on a Sephadex G200 (the 200 refers to the maximum pore size in kDa) column. The elution volume Vel for each protein is given in Table 1 below. (a) Plot the data in the form of log Mr versus elution volume. From the line of best fit through the points for the standards, determine the Mr of the unknown enzyme. Explain why ferritin and ovomucoid behave anomalously.

To increase the solubility of amoxicillin B. To stabilise amoxicillin from spontaneous hydrolysis in aqueous solution C. To act synergistically with amoxicillin by inhibiting penicillinases produced by the organism D. To promote increased amoxicillin transport across the outer membrane of the organism E. To promote increased binding affinity of amoxicillin with the bacterial target
