Transcription & Translation
• Where is rfp?
• Is rfp the only protein made by the cell?
![Page 9: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Why purify a protein?
• The protein is in living cells and mixed in with other proteins, over 1, 000 proteins could be in one cell
• Pharmaceutical companies want one purified protein to sell as a medicine.
• Don’t want other proteins interfering with the medicine or body chemistry
![Page 10: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Day 2 Background
Understanding Columns
![Page 23: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Warm Up
• Many medicines today are proteins. Biotechnology companies make these medicines the same way you transformed the bacteria to make rfp. – However, the protein is in the bacteria, so how do
we get our protein out without destroying it’s properties?
– What effects a proteins ability to do it’s job?
![Page 24: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
www.amgenbiotechexperience.com
Understanding purification Methods:
• Hydrophobicity is often used to help separate molecules. – Hydrophobic: ‘fears water’ : oil, wax, fats– Hydrophilic: ‘loves water’ : salt, sugar
• Proteins have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts– Hydrophilic regions point outward– Hydrophobic regions point inward– (reversed for membrane proteins)
![Page 25: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
www.amgenbiotechexperience.com
With over 1,000 different proteins how can we isolate rfp?
• We used an expression vector• The cells are making much more rfp than any
other protein• Column chromatography:• We need to understand the amino acid make up
of the rfp• Hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions
![Page 26: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

RFP Structure
• What will happen if you place a folded protein in a high salt solution?
![Page 27: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Column Structure
• Column• Stop Cock• Matrix• Solvents
![Page 28: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
www.amgenbiotechexperience.com
Column Structure
• Column– Glass (or plastic) tube that holds
matrix• Stop Cock– Regulates flow of solvents• In line: allows solvents to flow• Perpendicular: blocks solvents-
stops flow
– Use cap if no stop cock
![Page 29: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
www.amgenbiotechexperience.com
Column Structure• Matrix– Other names
• Resin• Stationary phase
– Coated beads that can bind and release your molecule under different conditions
– Note:• Must be kept in liquid at all times
– Keep 2 mm (~ ½ pinky nail) of liquid above the resin at all times
• Never disturb resin– Add solvents slowly and down side of the
column- no clouds
![Page 30: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Column Structure
Solvents Buffers• Equilibration
• Binding
• Wash
• Elution
• Storage
• Prepares matrix for binding to molecule of interest
• Usually mixed with supernatant before adding to matrix- prepares rfp for attaching to resin
• Removes other molecules from matrix- allows rfp to stay bound
• Rfp detaches and flows out of matrix
• Keeps resin stable when not in use
![Page 31: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
www.amgenbiotechexperience.com
Binding Buffer• High Salt Buffer– Mix with rfp supernatant– Rfp exposes inner hydrophobic amino
acids– Rfp and hydrophobic proteins will bind
to resin– Hydrophillic proteins will flow through
• Notes:– Flow through = clear = waste– Ideally add solvent slowly- rfp will bind
in tight ring- increasing final concentration
![Page 32: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
www.amgenbiotechexperience.com
Wash Buffer
• Medium Salt Buffer– Allows some refolding of proteins-
but not rfp– Moderately hydrophobic proteins
release and flow through– RFP will stay bound to resin
• Notes:• Flow through = clear = waste• Gravity flow can be slow
![Page 33: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
www.amgenbiotechexperience.com
Elution Buffer• Rfp will refold- covering
hydrophobic amino acids• Rfp releases and flows through• Note:– Add slowly and all rfp will release
and flow through together– Only catch pink/red solution with
clean tube– Clear solution = buffer only =
waste
![Page 34: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Column Prep• Setup columns
– Arm/finger clamp– Ring stand– Waste container– Column tip should be just above waste
container• Drain Storage buffer• Add and drain 2 mL of equilibration buffer• Note: ALWAYS leave ~2 mm of solution
above resin– This is when you add next buffer– Never drain resin dry
![Page 35: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Part A (Day 1) Teacher Prep Notes
• Can pre aliquot 1000 ul rfp into student tubes (1/group)– Have students pre-label tubes– Some down time- can have previous class aliquot
next class solution– 1st to class gets to aliquot
• Pre-label collection rack (1/period)• If have sensitive centrifuge recommend having
students use a balance for 2nd spin
![Page 47: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
www.amgenbiotechexperience.com
Part B (Day 2) Teacher Prep Notes
• Columns run slow– Can prep columns ahead of time
• Students Centrifuge & setup column at same time
• Slow columns– Make sure
• stop cock open• Caps (top & bottom) are removed
– Unclog by resettling resin– Apply pressure
![Page 48: Lisa Yoneda Mira Mesa High School Teacher – Biology to AP Biology – Biotechnology Background: – BS Molecular Biology –](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1b5503460f94c30206/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
www.amgenbiotechexperience.com
Applying Pressure
• Can make plunger to increase column flow rate– #2 stopper- 1 hole– 10 mL syringe– Attach together by cutting 1 mL disposable pipet
• Using plunger– Never pull up on plunger while attached to column– Needs tight seal- columns can be warped into oval shape
• Check if clamp is too tight• Gently squeeze column into round shape
– Make sure you still have drops, not a steady stream coming from column when using
