|
In pH-gradient chromatography, the pH is changed ____ |
Continuously or in steps |
|
In pH-gradient chromatography, the protein binds at 1 pH and is releases at ______ pH. As a result of the heterogeneity in glycosylation, glycosylated proteins may elute in a relatively _____ pH range |
Different Broad |
|
In order to simplify purification, |
A specific amino acid tail can be added to the protein at the gene level to create a purification handle |
|
A short tail consisting of arginine residues allows a protein to bind a _____ exchanger under conditions where ____ |
Cation Almost no other cell proteins bind. |
|
Purification handle technique is only useful for _____, and cannot be used for ______ due to _____ |
Laboratory scale isolation Can't be used for production scale due to regulatory problems related to the removal of the arginine or other specific c tags from the protein |
|
Affinity chromatography is based on ____ interactions between ______ and |

Under physiological conditions, most ______ amino acid residues are located inside the protein core, and only a small fraction of ____ amino acids is exposed in the surface of a protein |
Hydrophobic (1&2) |
|
Hydrophobic exposure is suppressed because of _____ |
The presence of hydrophilic amino acids that attract large clusters of water molecule and form a shield. |
