sorry @inbabylontheywept but I've barely gotten started.

The real reason I'm going old-school instead of copping out with "oh I can totally manage on isoelectric precipitation alone" is not just being too colourblind to measure pH values.

You see, we won't be injecting this insulin. Hypodermic needles are fucking hard.

I'm not about to make the physical manifestation of a bad idea out of goose quills. I'm also not delaying someone's first batch for a die set good enough for deep drawing medical equipment, (though that would be a key technology if it's a post-apocalypse scenario for nipple piercing reasons alone (female and male. Have you seen Mad Max??))

No, you see... Insulin is quite a large protein, it has trouble getting through skin. Unless, of course, there happens to be a chemical particularly suited to helping it cross the skin barrier. (Ideally with more aggressive exfoliation than would be warranted nowadays, which is why I asked you to pull your sleeve all the way up. Will you get a consistent dosage? We'll find out!)

Several such chemicals are known, but the simplest happens to be ethanol, aka the most reasonable purification medium when I'm not trying to be special.

...

I think high school chemistry class should make you give your best shot at isolating chemicals from animal parts. The T in STEM stands for trying <3 yeah I also think the M stands for masochism but that's not far from the truth

What Makes 2D Electrophoresis a Powerful Protein Analysis Tool?

With its ability to separate complex protein mixtures based on both charge and size, 2D electrophoresis offers you a powerful window into the intricate world of protein analysis. At Kendrick Labs, this cutting-edge technique is honed to perfection, allowing you to unravel the mysteries of your samples with precision and accuracy. Discover how this innovative tool can elevate your research and deepen your understanding of proteins like never before.

The Basics of 2D Electrophoresis

What is 2D Electrophoresis?

Basics of 2D electrophoresis involve a powerful method for separating complex protein mixtures based on their isoelectric points and molecular weights. By combining two different separation techniques in two dimensions, this technique allows you to achieve a high level of resolution and analyze hundreds to thousands of proteins in a single gel.

Principles of Separation

Separation in 2D electrophoresis is based on the fact that proteins will move in an electric field based on their charge and size. In the first dimension, proteins are separated according to their isoelectric points using an immobilized pH gradient. Then, in the second dimension, proteins are separated by their molecular weights through SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis).

A key feature of 2D electrophoresis is the ability to separate proteins that may have similar molecular weights but different isoelectric points, or vice versa. This dual separation approach provides you with a comprehensive view of the protein composition in your sample, making it a valuable tool in proteomics research.

High-Resolution Protein Separation

Advantages of 2D Electrophoresis over 1D

If you are looking to achieve high-resolution protein separation, 2D electrophoresis has significant advantages over traditional 1D methods. In 1D electrophoresis, proteins are separated based on a single property, such as size or charge. However, in 2D electrophoresis, proteins are separated first by their charge in one direction and then by their size in another direction, allowing for a more precise separation of complex protein mixtures.

Resolving Power and Protein Detection

Over the years, 2D electrophoresis has become a powerful technique for protein analysis due to its high resolving power and sensitive protein detection capabilities. This method can separate thousands of proteins in a single gel, providing a comprehensive view of the protein profile within a sample. Additionally, with various staining and detection methods available, you can detect proteins at very low levels, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in proteomics research.

Resolving power in 2D electrophoresis refers to the ability of the technique to separate proteins with different isoelectric points (pI) and molecular weights. The high resolving power of 2D gels allows you to distinguish closely related protein isoforms and detect post-translational modifications that may not be resolved using other methods. This level of detail in protein separation and detection is crucial for understanding the complex protein composition of biological samples.

Protein Identification and Characterization

Mass Spectrometry and Protein Identification

With the advent of mass spectrometry techniques, protein identification has become more precise and efficient. Mass spectrometry allows you to analyze proteins based on their mass-to-charge ratios, providing valuable information about their identities. By comparing these mass spectra to databases of known proteins, you can accurately identify the proteins in your sample.

Post-Translational Modifications and Protein Function

Any modifications that occur to a protein after it is synthesized are known as post-translational modifications (PTMs). These modifications can profoundly impact a protein's function, stability, and interactions with other molecules. By studying PTMs using techniques like 2D electrophoresis combined with mass spectrometry, you can gain insights into the biological roles of proteins and how they contribute to various cellular processes.

The field of post-translational modifications is vast and continuously expanding, with researchers discovering new types of modifications and their effects on protein function. Understanding these modifications is crucial for unraveling the complexities of cellular signaling pathways and regulatory mechanisms.

Applications in Proteomics Research

Biomarker Discovery and Disease Diagnosis

Now, 2D electrophoresis is a powerful tool for biomarker discovery and disease diagnosis in proteomics research. By analyzing protein expression patterns in different samples, you can identify potential biomarkers that are specific to certain diseases or conditions. These biomarkers can be used for early detection, monitoring disease progression, and developing targeted treatments.

2D electrophoresis allows you to compare protein profiles between healthy and diseased samples, enabling you to pinpoint differences that may indicate the presence of a particular disease. By identifying and validating biomarkers using this technique, you can contribute to advancements in personalized medicine and improve patient outcomes.

Cellular Signaling Pathways and Protein Interactions

Any proteomics research focused on cellular signaling pathways and protein interactions can benefit greatly from 2D electrophoresis. This technique allows you to map out complex protein networks within cells, unraveling the intricacies of signaling cascades and protein interactions. By analyzing changes in protein expression and modifications, you can gain valuable insights into how cells respond to stimuli and communicate with each other.

Proteomics research utilizing 2D electrophoresis can uncover key players in cellular signaling pathways, such as signaling kinases, phosphatases, and transcription factors. By understanding how these proteins interact and regulate cellular processes, you can unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying various physiological and pathological conditions. This knowledge is imperative for developing targeted therapies that modulate specific protein interactions to treat diseases effectively.

Advantages of 2D Electrophoresis in Protein Analysis

Despite the many techniques available for protein analysis, 2D electrophoresis stands out as a powerful tool with unique advantages. One key benefit is the high-throughput analysis and automation capabilities it offers.

High-Throughput Analysis and Automation

Analysis with 2D electrophoresis allows for the simultaneous separation of a large number of proteins in a single gel. This means you can analyze multiple samples at once, saving you time and enabling you to generate comprehensive protein profiles efficiently. Additionally, advancements in automation technology have streamlined the process, making it easier to handle high sample volumes and ensuring reproducibility in results.

To wrap up

Now, as you have learned, 2D electrophoresis is a powerful protein analysis tool that allows you to separate and visualize a large number of proteins in a sample. This technique provides valuable information about the proteins present in a sample, such as their size, charge, and abundance. With its high resolution and ability to detect post-translational modifications, 2D electrophoresis is a versatile tool that can be used in a wide range of applications, from biomarker discovery to studying protein-protein interactions.

By understanding the principles behind 2D electrophoresis and the ways in which it can be optimized for different research questions, you can harness the full potential of this technique in your own protein analysis experiments. Armed with this knowledge, you are well-equipped to take on the challenges of studying the complex world of proteins and their functions, opening new doors for discovery and innovation in the field of proteomics.

(Recall from chapter 11 that the smaller the pKa the more acidic is the group. At lower pH, carboxylic acids are found in the RCOOH form and amines are found in the RNH3+ form. At higher pH, the opposite is true; carboxylic acids are present as the salt RCOO- and amines are present as uncharged RNH2. Figure 24.3 on p. 1061 shows how this looks at different pH.)

Next, the solution is titrated with 1.00 M NaOH; the volume of base added and the pH of the resulting solution are recorded and then plotted as shown in figure 24.3. (...) By examining the titration curve (figure 24.3), you can see that the isoelectric point for glycine falls halfway between the pKa values for the carboxyl groups and the ammonium ion:

IJMS, Vol. 24, Pages 14267: High Recovery Chromatographic Purification of #mRNA at Room Temperature and Neutral pH

Messenger #RNA (#mRNA) is becoming an increasingly important therapeutic modality due to its potential for fast development and platform production. New emerging #RNA modalities, such as circular #RNA, drive the need for the development of non-affinity purification approaches. Recently, the highly efficient chromatographic purification of #mRNA was demonstrated with multimodal monolithic chromatography media (CIM&reg; PrimaS), where efficient #mRNA elution was achieved with an ascending pH gradient approach at pH 10.5. Here, we report that a newly developed chromatographic material enables the elution of #mRNA at neutral pH and room temperature. This material demonstrates weak anion-exchanging properties and an isoelectric point of 5.3. It enables the baseline separation of #mRNA (at least up to 10,000 nucleotides (nt) in size) from parental plasmid DNA (regardless of isoform composition) with both a NaCl gradient and ascending pH gradient approach, while #mRNA elution is achieved in a pH range of 5&ndash;7. In addition, the basic structure of the novel material is a chromatographic monolith, enabling convection-assisted mass transfer of large #RNA molecules to and from the active surface. This facilitates the elution of #mRNA in 3&ndash;7 column volumes with more than 80% elution recovery and uncompromised integrity. This is demonstrated by the purification of a model #mRNA (size 995 nt) from an in vitro transcription reaction mixture. The purified #mRNA is stable for at least 34 days, stored in purified H2O at room temperature. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/24/18/14267?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

WELL. DO I HAVE A RAMBLE FOR YOU!

I’m studying rn and i’m on “break” while i switch topics and you have just triggered an unskippable cut scene. Welcome to combat!

So there’s multiple ways to purify a protein and it all depends on the protein it self, which depends on the properties of the amino acids found within it, which depends on the functional groups found within that amino acid.

Think of it as how you’d think of food as spicy, savory, sweet or what ever based on the way the food is served, what the main ingredient is, and what seasonings are put to make that main ingredient taste the way it does.

The method then is chosen by those features.

The first one i’ll explain is that of SDS gels because they’re the first thing that comes to mind. Basically, you’ll coat the protein with SDS which gives it a negative charge. That charge is then like a magnet that pulls the protein to the positive side. The larger the protein, the harder it is for it to move through the gel to the other side. there’s a variation of this gel called “native gel” that doesn’t use SDS and so charge is also taken into account when being pulled.

Then there’s also Isoelectric focusing where a tube with a gradient of pH’s is created and different proteins are placed within it. The protein will gain or lose charges depending on the pH it’s in. A charge will pull it into a direction until it reaches a neutral charge/ zero net charge. Think of it as a battery, once it reaches 0, it stops working. If it doesn’t have a charge, it doesn’t move. This is important because that means that specific pH is where that protein’s isoelectric point is. Which is important because of solubility (how easily that protein can dissolve in water).

Now there’s also “Salting out” proteins which rely on said solubility of proteins. The more protein A can dissolve in water the less that protein B can dissolve in water. Basically you’re changing how much salt is in the solution to kick one protein out of its home.

Remember how I said some proteins have different characteristics? Well some are more negatively charged than others and some are more positively charged. This helps in the technique of Ion exchange. (Ions are when a molecule is charged). If the protein is positively charged, we use a bead that’s negatively charged so the two hold hands and don’t escape together. The opposite is true if the protein is negatively charged. All other proteins will run through the tube pretty easily, leaving the one you want still in there. You then can stop the two from holding hands with salt or acid.

(Sorta the same concept for hydrophobic technique with the more water loving proteins will run right through while the hydrophobic (non polar) proteins will HATE it it whole time.)

Gel Filtration uses size and small little holes in the beads that trap the smaller proteins and let the big ones go through.

Affinity chromatography gives little ID markers to specific chemical groups so they get stuck like that of the Ion one. Theres two different attachments that can be added a GST tag or a 6x HIS tag and both require different methods to attach them and to remove them.

From there you keep repeating the purification process until you get the purity percent that you want

Peptides are brief chains of amino acids that take place normally in our body. When amino acids connect with each other, the chain they create is called an amino peptide.

After immunization with FMDV15, 13 cattle generated a T-cell feedback to FMDV15. Nevertheless, the great uniqueness and magnitude of the response was related to BoLA class II type. The non-response by one animal and reduced action by 2 other animals were related to two of the BoLA class II kinds. Action to the region was immunodominant and animals which did not react to this area had reduced actions to the whole peptide. The constraint patterns of the lines suggested that the IEF method does not distinguish all practical polymorphisms. At the very least two of the IEF-defined types could each be split right into 2 distinctive uniqueness and exposed that the 3 sets of pets with identical IEF enters reality expressed unique limitation elements.

MHC class II particles bind to peptides that are originated from proteins degraded in the endocytic pathway. MHC course II complicateds includes α- and also β-chains that are set up in the Emergency Room and also are stabilised by regular chain. The facility of MHC class II and Ii is transferred via the Golgi right into an area which is labelled the MHC class II compartment. As a result of acidic pH, proteases cathepsin S and also cathepsin L are triggered and absorb Ii, leaving a residual course II-associated Ii peptide in the peptide-binding groove of the MHC class II. Later on, Buy peptides Direct Slovakia is exchanged for an antigenic peptide stemmed from a protein degraded in the endosomal path. This process calls for the chaperone HLA-DM, and, in the case of B cells, the HLA-DO particle. MHC class II particles packed with international peptide are then transported to the cell membrane to offer their cargo to CD4+ T cells.

Peptides currently exist normally in the body (mixes of amino-acids); healthy protein is ingested with the diet, permitting people to acquire these necessary amino-acids. Amino acids after that incorporate in particular series that result in peptides that perform a selection of functions-- one feature is producing collagen. Signal peptides can send out skin cells solid regrowth signals, triggering them to synthesise even more healthy proteins such as collagen and elastin which keep the skin company and also supple. An additional source of BAP diversity is the type of protein made use of as substrate by the germs. On the whole, Lactobacillus pressures are mostly utilized for milk fermentation and a lot of the BAPs characterized so far were isolated from milk societies. Nonetheless, also milk proteins are not the same, and the same Lactobacillus strain will create different peptides when hydrolysing caseins from cow milk, goat milk, camel milk, or mare milk. Several types of nanocarriers have been evaluated for delivery of AMPs with encouraging outcomes.

Lots of studies focused on ACE prevention peptides, possibly as a result of the ease of usage of in vitro anti-ACE assays. The popular Val-Pro-Pro and Ile-Pro-Pro peptides are created during milk fermentation by some Lb. The resulting fermented milk showed antihypertensive activities in animal and human clinical researches, with a considerable decline in systolic blood pressure. An extra ACE inhibitory peptide sequence (Ala-Ile-Pro-Pro-Lys-Lys-Asn-Gln-Asp) was likewise recognized in milk fermented by Lb. Additionally, various other Lactobacillus types might also release brand-new ACE repressive peptides, as reported for some Lb. The LABORATORY constitute a varied group of Gram-positive, catalase-negative bacteria generating lactic acid as the main end-product of carb fermentation. With greater than 231 valid species and also 29 subspecies, Lactobacillus genus is definitely the main and also most varied LABORATORY group.

It needs to be noted that 30-- 70% of proteins are immediately degraded after synthesis (they are called DRiPs-- malfunctioning ribosomal products, as well as they are the outcome of malfunctioning transcription or translation). This process enables viral peptides to be offered very quickly-- for example, flu infection can be identified by T cells approximately 1.5 hours post-infection. When Buy Peptides Products bind to MHC course I particles, the chaperones are released and also peptide-- MHC course I facilities leave the Emergency Room for presentation at the cell surface area. Sometimes, peptides fail to relate to MHC course I and also they need to be gone back to the cytosol for destruction. Some MHC class I molecules never bind peptides and they are additionally deteriorated by the ER-associated healthy protein deterioration system.

It keeps skin communication as well as anchors the epidermis to the dermis. Imagine the skin as plates held together by a series of chain web links. If among these web links becomes weak as well as breaks, home plates will certainly slip. As the healthy protein composed web links, such as laminin as well as integrin comes to be weak within the DEJ, the skin starts to droop, and loses elasticity ultimately developing a line or wrinkle.

The DEJ holds the skin together, boosting its compactness, firmness and elasticity.

Neuropeptides are tiny proteinaceous cell-cell signaling molecules generated and launched by nerve cells. They vary from peptide hormonal agents in that they are secreted from nerve cells and act locally on adjoining nerve cells, whereas peptide hormones are secreted in to the blood by neuroendocrine cells as well as act at remote sites. Neuropeptides are the most varied class of indicating molecules in the brain, and also are involved in a broad range of mind features, consisting of analgesia, recreation, discovering as well as memory, benefit, food intake and also even more. Electropherograms can aid compare the various sorts of healthy proteins, peptides and amino acids. This is a wonderful natural choice with this powder likewise being loaded with amino acids in addition to respectable healthy protein degrees in each serving and also being extremely easy to mix right into healthy protein trembles or various other drinks without including any kind of awful flavours like some can. This will last around a month based on the recommended offering recommendation so for a suitable collagen powder it's really not bad worth either and also one I would certainly more than happy to continue utilizing. MHC class II molecules are expressed by APCs, such as dendritic cells, macrophages and also B cells (and, under IFNγ stimuli, by mesenchymal stromal cells, fibroblasts and endothelial cells, along with by epithelial cells as well as enteric glial cells).

How To Electrospin Electrospun Casein Nanofibers Mats?

 #electrospin #electrospun #casein #nanofibers #mats

 Casein is the major precipitated protein of milk at the temperature of 20℃ and a pH value of 4.6. Casein is a phosphorus-containing protein, which has a high content and nutrient value. Bovine casein is made up of as1-, as2-, k-, and b-casein. These four monomers constitute the spatial structure of casein via a-helix, b-sheet, and b-turn. b-Casein from bovine can be used as a superior emulsifier and colloid stabilizer. The pH value is 4.8, which is the isoelectric point of casein. Casein has excellent steric stability to dispersed oil/fat droplets under neutral pH.

 A solution containing only casein could not be electrospun due to its strong intermolecular force and 3D structure. However composite dispersions blending PEO or PVA with casein could be electrospun successfully as indicated in Figure. The 10% (w/w) casein solutions containing 80% PEO or 50% PVA are used to electrospin with average fiber diameters ranging from 100 to 500 nm.

Basic properties of amino acids

What are the basic properties of  amino acids? What is the difference between a basic and an acidic amino acid? The basic properties are those of the side chain. In a molecule, amino acid side chains are known as peptides. There are two forms of the peptide bond: -  trans forms -  cis forms In addition to being optically active, amino acids have other important properties. This article will discuss the basic properties of amino acids and how these properties affect the function and structure of proteins.

Acid-base properties of amino acids

An amino acid's acid-base properties can be found in its structure and composition. The basic properties of amino acids are essentially neutral ions, with only one -NH2 group and one -COOH group. These groups are the basis of amino acid reactions, which change the pH of a solution. An amino acid's isoelectric point is 7 because it is neither acidic nor alkaline. Amino acids are classified according to their structure, with one type having a carboxyl end and another with an a-carbon. These acids are also referred to as secondary amines. The difference between a-amino acids and b-amino acids lies in the side chain called R group. There are four types of amino acids: alkyl-amino acid, branched-chain peptides, and isomerized amino acids. The acid-base properties of amino acids can be demonstrated using a potentiometric titration. In this process, the acidic form of alanine is titrated by adding NaOH to a solution. A graph is then plotted that shows the change in pH as the amino acid molecules are added. Both the pH and the volume of the titrant are recorded. In this way, one can determine the pH of a solution without having to worry about determining the concentration of an acid. Despite the fact that these compounds are neutral, there are still many misconceptions about their acids. While they are used in everyday life, they also have industrial applications. Their chemical properties and applications range from the production of drugs to biodegradable plastics. One way to understand their properties is to try the reactions they are involved in with food and beverages. Aside from that, amino acids are often used in the production of biodegradable plastics and chiral catalysts.

Colorless

The simplest basic properties of  amino acid is glycine, which is a sweet-tasting, colorless crystalline solid. It is nonvolatile and melts at temperatures above 200degC. These temperatures are higher than those of organic acids and amines. The chemical structure of an amino acid consists of one positively and one negatively charged group, known as a zwitterion. It is therefore considered the simplest type of amino acid. The chirality of an amino acid is determined by its R-substituent, which is a three-carbon chain attached to an alpha-carbon ring. The chiral nature of amino acids is one of the main factors determining their colorlessness and their structural differences. Cys is the only natural colorless amino acid. The chiral structure of the acid is based on Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules, which are widely used in chemistry.

Crystalline

Amino acids are crystalline solids that melt at temperatures of 200degC or higher. They are more like inorganic salts than organic acids or amines because of the positive and negative charge on the amine group. Crystalline ammonium acetate has a zwitterion structure. As a result, the amino acid has a higher melting point than other organic acids. In addition, amino acids are insoluble in non-polar organic solvents. In addition to their molecular mass, amino acids are chiral. They do not have a plane of symmetry and have two stereoisomers. This gives rise to their crystalline nature. This is also true of their structure. They have been investigated by spectroscopy and piezoelectric response at temperatures from 120 K to 320 K. And finally, they were studied by optical second harmonic generation and optical activity. Each amino acid has a different structure. It is distinguished by its amine and acid functional groups. Despite these differences, each amino acid has special common names, such as a-amino-proline. The abbreviations for residues with multiple identities are included in blue. The termination codon is shown in red. This structure can be useful for identifying the type of amino acid required for a particular species. Aside from being the building blocks of proteins, amino acids also determine a wide range of biochemical properties. The amino acid cysteine, for example, can be converted into a crystalloid form by replacing a portion of soybean meal with a crystalline form. This synthetic form is 100 percent digested and decomposed by bacteria. This means that crystalline amino acids are ideal for the production of proteins since they are non-toxic to humans and the environment.

Physical properties of amino acids

There are two main types of amino acids: polar and nonpolar. The polar amino acids are those that contain a hydrocarbon side chain, and the nonpolar ones are those that lack this ring structure. Nonpolar amino acids include asparagine, cysteine, leucine, and phenylalanine, as well as any amino acid with an aromatic ring. Depending on the amino acid, nonpolar or polar amino acids may be more or less acidic. Each amino acid consists of five different atoms - H, C, N, and O. The polarity of an amino acid is determined by its alkyl groups, with the higher the number, the less polar it is. Valine and methionine are two examples of nonpolar amino acids, which are water-fearing. However, polar amino acids are not inherently anti-magnetic. Amino acids are classified based on their location in protein molecules, as well as their degree of exposure to solvent. Amino acids with hydrophobic side chains are usually buried, while those with polar or charged residues are exposed to greater extents. In addition, polar amino acids have higher pKa values than nonpolar acids. However, the chemical reactions involving amino acids require the extraction of a proton. Glycine is a common amino acid that is found in coils and loops. This amino acid gives a polypeptide chain its high flexibility, which is important for sharp turns in loop regions. On the other hand, proline is a nonpolar amino acid that imparts rigidity to a polypeptide chain. Its side chain forms a covalent bond with the main chain and constrains the polypeptide's phi-angle.

Hydrophobic

Quantitative characterization of the hydrophobic basic properties of amino acids is an important prerequisite for predicting the structures and functionalities of proteins in a biological environment. These properties of amino acids can be measured using phase-partitioning behavior of molecular fragments. The corresponding values for hydrophobic amino acid fractions can be obtained by calculating the partitioning coefficients of the aliphatic and phenolic hydroxyls of the amino acids. The hydrophobic basic properties of amino acids are associated with their lack of polarity in their side chains. These amino acids generally reside in the hydrophobic core of proteins and lipid portions of membranes. These properties are describe by authors including M.J. Betts, R.B. Russell, and M.R. Barnes. I.C. Gray is the editor of Bioinformatics for Geneticists. The hydrophobicity of a macroscopic planar surface is typically measured by the contact angle of water droplets, but this cannot be extended to proteins due to their nanometer-scale amino acids and inherent nonplanar structure. Hydrophobic solvation is characterized by numerous parameters. However, a consistent pattern cannot be established for all parameters. Hydrophobic basic properties of amino acids can be characterized using computational data. A combination of Pronase and Peptidase R shows the highest selectivity for hydrophobic amino acids. The enzymes increased hydrophobic amino acid concentrations by twofold and doubled their selectivity. This enzyme-based method is applicable to agro-industrial residues. It have been shown that Pronase and Peptidase R can increase the hydrophobic basic content of proteins by combining them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J-vYTfHMaA Read the full article

Reverse Phase Chromatography

The ability to purify samples and isolate specific proteins is an important first step for studying proteins. If you want to get the 3D structure of a protein or an amino acid sequence or gain any understanding of how a protein interacts with something, then a basic requirement is having a pure sample. But let's face it your sample has a bunch of other undesirable junk, because nothing can be too convenient in science. Even if you chemically synthesize the protein instead of stealing it from the original source (like a dead anemone) you still have to purify the sample and get your target protein.

How do you do this?

There are a variety of liquid chromatography techniques used for purifying proteins such as anion exchange chromatography (separates proteins based on charge), affinity chromatography (this is really specific since the column will only bind to the antibody or ligand you choose, not just any randy that passes by), Size Exclusion Chromatography (separates proteins based on size) and Reverse-phase chromatography. These techniques exploit a specific property of the protein such as charge, size, isoelectric points etc. to separate proteins. Reverse-phase liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) is one the most important and commonly used forms of liquid chromatography. It separates proteins based on how hydrophobic (water hating) or hydrophilic (water loving) a protein is. 

There are two phases in all types of chromatography. The stationary phase (or the lazy phase which clings to things) and the mobile phase, which slowly seeps through the stationary phase. For Reverse-phase the stationary phase is non-polar (or hydrophobic). The interaction between the stationary phase and analyte is mostly hydrophobic. So, if your protein is really hydrophobic (i.e. it has a lot of valine and alanine resides) then it will cling to stationary phase for its dear life until it is eluted by something more hydrophobic. Typically, the stationary phase in Reverse-phase columns have little beads made of silica gel and you have alkyl groups (hexyl, butyl, or ethyl groups) covalently linked to the beads. These little extensions are non-polar and they play a part in the hydrophobic interaction with your sample. The types of alkyl groups attached vary depending on the type of column you’re using and the kind of protein you're purifying. Of course, there are other types of beads like polymer based beads, which are better if you have the pH of your sample or solvent is above 7. BUT they are not as efficient at separating things.

The second player is the mobile phase or the hydrophobic solvent you will use to elute your protein. Usually as reverse phase happens you increase the hydrophobicity of the solvent and over time the proteins are eluted based on hydrophobic they are. The hydrophilic proteins come out first and the most hydrophobic proteins come out last because you need a higher concentration of your non-polar solvent. Most of the time, a mix of acetonitrile and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is used for the mobile phase. 

Acetonitrile (ACN) is a non-polar solvent. If you want to make the mobile phase more hydrophobic to elute the more hydrophobic proteins, then you increase the concentration of ACN. TFA is a weak hydrophobic ion-pairing reagent which helps maintain a low pH for our silica resin and helps reduce ionic interactions between the peptide/protein and the stationary phase (because there is always a small chance of something annoying like this happening). You can use other non-polar solvents like methanol, ethanol and isopropanol. Isopropanol works better for ridiculously large and hydrophobic proteins but it places a lot of pressure on the column. If the pressure is too high, your incredibly expensive column will die a horrible and resin-crushing death (Pro-tip: Always check the manual for the maximum pressure limit!).

You can tell how well your purification went based on the chromatogram. A chromatogram shows the UV absorbance for your sample against the retention time. Acetonitrile absorbs UV light very well which is why it's a great solvent for reverse phase. The peptide bonds in proteins absorb UV light at 215 nm whereas, aromatic amino acids like tryptophan absorb UV light at 280nm.  UV absorbance can be used to find the concertation of your protein or it can help determine the resolution for your feeble attempts at purification. 

If you have ‘peaks’ or ‘mini mountains’ that are well separated then your peptides are probably separated pretty well. But if your all of peaks on the chromatogram merge into an indistinguishable and horrifying blob—you have very poor resolution and the eluted sample you get at the end won't be that pure. You can take all of the eluted samples and try purifying them with even more reverse phase or other methods, but you will lose a bit of protein at each purification step. Or you can tweak your method to improve the resolution for reverse phase. 

Figure 2: What a chromatogram looks like in an ideal world where the experiment actually works. The “peaks” are sharp, narrow and distinct. 

Figure 3: A blob monster of my own making. I have probably spent more time doing Reverse phase than socialising at this point and I still get chromatograms like this. 

Stuff you need to worry about:

What kind of column your using: Sometimes you want to purify lots of your proteins in one go so you have to pick a column that can handle a high load. Other times you are analysing the purity of your sample and using a sensitive analytical column makes more sense.  If you want to isolate a really hydrophilic protein then using a c18 column is a solid option because it has more alkyl chains that can bind better to proteins that are not so hydrophobic. BUT since you are introducing a really strong hydrophobic interaction it can mess up the structure of your protein to the point where it loses its bioactivity. If you want to protect the bioactivity of your protein using a C4 or C5 column is a decent option.

Pore size: Each column will have its own pore size (the size of the gap between the beads) and you have pick the pore size based on the size of the target protein. Small pore sizes work for smaller proteins (<10kDa) but it most cases a pore size 300 Å works for a wide variety of protein sizes.

Temperature: A high temperature can speed up chromatography and give you better resolution (AKA the sharp and sexy peaks). All of this will come at the cost of your protein being denatured—of course.

pH: Proteins are pH sensitive since the amine, carboxylic and R groups of the amino acids can change charge depending on the pH.  Silica columns have a pH of 2-7, so the basic amino acids exist as positive ions. You need a hydrophobic anionic (negatively charged) ion-pairing reagent (like TFA) that will pair up with the positively charged basic amino acids, since you don't want any electrostatic interaction between the column and the peptide. (remember we only want to separate the proteins based on how hydrophobc they are)

Flow rate: A faster flow rate will allow a better separation. (Pro-Tip: Check the manual for the maximum flow rate. Usually the big, thick columns tend to have a higher flow rate than the thin, small and dainty columns)

Gradient: This is the most important factor which impacts the resolution. If you have a gradual increase in ACN concentration or hydrophobicity of your solvent (AKA a shallower gradient), you tend to get better resolution and higher peaks. However, if the run time is too long then your protein can get damaged since it’s being exposed to harsh chemicals (e.g. Acetonitrile) for a longer period of time.

There are other applications for Reverse-phase aside from protein purification. It isn't just used to purify and analyse proteins but it can work for drugs, metabolites, fatty acids, aldehydes and ketones. I hope this was a helpful introduction to Reverse-phase for anyone who is interested in the technique or actually has to use this technique. 

Next time, I’ll dive into Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC).
