I. Protein IsolationSelection of Starting Material
• Sources– animal or plant tissues– microorganisms
![Page 3: Separation and Characterization Techniques for Proteins and Amino](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546b7f5ab4af9f7f2c8b4d37/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Criteria for choosing a sample– ease of obtaining sufficient quantity of
tissue– amount of biomolecule in the tissue– any properties peculiar to the
biomolecule of choice

Separation Techniques
Separation will be based on the characteristics of biomolecules.
• Solubility• Molecular size, weight, density• Affinity• Charge
![Page 7: Separation and Characterization Techniques for Proteins and Amino](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546b7f5ab4af9f7f2c8b4d37/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Based on Solubility• Change in pH
Isoelectric precipitationA procedure in which the pH of the protein mixture is adjusted to the pI of the protein to be isolated to selectively minimize its solubility.
![Page 8: Separation and Characterization Techniques for Proteins and Amino](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546b7f5ab4af9f7f2c8b4d37/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Isoelectric precipitation
![Page 9: Separation and Characterization Techniques for Proteins and Amino](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546b7f5ab4af9f7f2c8b4d37/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Change in ionic strengthSalting inSolubility of a protein at low ionic strength generally increases with the salt concentration.
![Page 10: Separation and Characterization Techniques for Proteins and Amino](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546b7f5ab4af9f7f2c8b4d37/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Salting out Decrease in solubility of proteins and other substances in aqueous solution at high ionic strength. It is a result of the competition between added salt ions and other dissolved solutes for molecular solvation.

Based on Molecular Size
CentrifugationProcess of subjecting a suspension of
sample at greatly increased gravitational field (centrifugal force) by rapidly rotating a receptacle containing the sample which will lead to sedimentation of particles.
Application:Differential Centrifugation
For separation of crude mixtures of cellular components

Dialysis
• It is the movement of molecules by diffusion from high concentration to low concentration.
• A process that separates molecules by the use of a semi-permeable membrane.
![Page 14: Separation and Characterization Techniques for Proteins and Amino](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546b7f5ab4af9f7f2c8b4d37/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ultrafiltration
• When macromolecular solution is forced under pressure thru a semi-permeable bag/disc.
![Page 15: Separation and Characterization Techniques for Proteins and Amino](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546b7f5ab4af9f7f2c8b4d37/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Gel Filtration Chromatography
• Column is packed with porous beads
• Small molecules enter the beads and are retarded, while, large molecules cannot enter and so they migrate faster
![Page 16: Separation and Characterization Techniques for Proteins and Amino](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546b7f5ab4af9f7f2c8b4d37/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Based on Affinity
Chromatography• Separation of molecules in a
mixture depends on the affinity to either mobile or stationary phase.
• Types of Chromatography based on the polarity of each phase:
• Normal phase chromatography• Reverse phase chromatography
![Page 17: Separation and Characterization Techniques for Proteins and Amino](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546b7f5ab4af9f7f2c8b4d37/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Affinity Chromatography
A procedure based on the ability of proteins to interact with specific molecules.
![Page 18: Separation and Characterization Techniques for Proteins and Amino](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546b7f5ab4af9f7f2c8b4d37/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Based on Charge
• Electrophoresis– It is the separation of charged
particles in an electric field thru a support medium.
![Page 19: Separation and Characterization Techniques for Proteins and Amino](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546b7f5ab4af9f7f2c8b4d37/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Isoelectric focusing
• Involves electrophoresis of protein mixtures thru stable pH gradient medium.
• Protein will migrate to the region where pH = IpH.

SDS-PAGE
• SDS: mask the intrinsic charge of protein due to large negative charge it imparts on it.
• Separates protein in the order of their MWs.
