Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography - RP-HPLC• Used for both purification and as an
analytical tool
• High Resolution – able to separate proteins based on very small differences in structure
![Page 31: Proteins – Basics you need to know for Proteomics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e8c4eb4c905fc368b49ab/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
RP-HPLC Mechanism of Separation
• Stationary phase – hydrophobic groups – C4, C5, C8, C18, phenyl– Proteins are dissolved in mostly aqueous buffer and
injected onto the column– Molecules interact with the stationary phase– Organic solvent (modifier) is added to the mobile
phase and kicks the molecules off the stationary phase
![Page 32: Proteins – Basics you need to know for Proteomics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e8c4eb4c905fc368b49ab/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Purity by HPLC
• HPLC is high resolution and can be used to assess purity of a protein sample– Compare with known
reference standard of desired protein and potential contaminants
– Can be quantitative – determine protein concentration by constructing calibration curve
![Page 33: Proteins – Basics you need to know for Proteomics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e8c4eb4c905fc368b49ab/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Visualizing the effects of Purification - Electrophoresis
• Gel Electrophoresis can be used to visualize the effectiveness of purification and estimate protein MW
• Proteins migrate through the porous hydrogel based on molecular size – radius of gyration.
![Page 34: Proteins – Basics you need to know for Proteomics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e8c4eb4c905fc368b49ab/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
![Page 35: Proteins – Basics you need to know for Proteomics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e8c4eb4c905fc368b49ab/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Isoelectric Focusing - IEF• IEF separates molecules based on their isoelectric
points (IEP), or the pH at which they have a net neutral charge
• IEF is usually used as an analytical tool to confirm a protein’s structure, but there are some semi-preparative devices that can be used for protein purification (difficult to run, though)
• IEF is very powerful – proteins with IEP’s that differ by as little as 0.01 pH can be separated using specialized techniques
• IEF can be run in a slab gel (similar to SDS PAGE format), in tubes, on paper strips, or in capillaries
• IEF is also used a lot in proteomics research
![Page 36: Proteins – Basics you need to know for Proteomics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e8c4eb4c905fc368b49ab/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
IEF Basics• Consider a slab gel – polyacrylamide that is impregnated with “ampholytes” • Ampholytes are a mixture of synthetic polymers (usually amino acids) that vary in their IEP, say from pH 3
to pH 10. The ampholytes are usually pre-focused (but don’t have to be) to set up a pH gradient in the gel• The samples for analysis are NOT treated with SDS or reductant – they are added to the IEF gel in their
native state with a small amount of ampholytes
pH 3
pH 10
![Page 37: Proteins – Basics you need to know for Proteomics](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554e8c4eb4c905fc368b49ab/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Running an IEF Gel
pH 3
pH 10
• Samples are added to the Gel and gel is placed in apparatus. The upper chamber is filled with anolyte (10 mM phosphoric acid) and the lower chamber is filled with catholyte (20 mM NaOH). The electric field is then turned on.
upper chamber – phosphoric acid(+) positive electrode
lower chamber - NaOH(-) negative electrode
power supply
• The ampholytes and sample proteins will migrate until their charge is neutral, then they don’t migrate any more. Thus a stable pH gradient is set up, and molecules are separated based on their differences in IEP• The proteins are then stained for visualization

Immunological Assays
• Use of antibodies to detect, purify, and qunatify your protein of interest
• Antibodies– Immunoglobulins that have a high affinity for their respective
antigen
• Antigen – substance that elicits an immune response– Proteins, oligosaccharides, small organic molecules (hapten)– Epitope – structural portion of the antigen that directly interacts
with antibody
• Ab/Ag interaction ~ lock and key– NONCOVALENT – a combination of H-bonds, van der Waals,
and ionic interactions with surface topology
