Cards

Term
Protein Purification in organic chemistry
Definition
distillation, sublimation, mixed solvent recrystilization
Term
Protein Purification in protein chemistry
Definition

-properties of proteins are determined by conformation

-must prevent loss of conformation (denaturation) and chemical degradation

-must consider pH, contaminating enzymes (proteases) , temperature, reactivity of thiol groups

Term
Basic tools during protein purification
Definition

-method to quantify (assay) protein concentration

-method to direct protein of interest in a mixture of proteins (activity assays for enzyme or mobility in a el)

Term
Source of the protein
Definition

-tissue

-recombinant techniques

Term
Lyse cells from a homogenous suspension
Definition

-sonication

-microfluidization

Term
Why do we centrifuge
Definition
to separate soluble and insoluble portions
Term
Draw Lactate reacting with NAD+
Definition

Term
Differential centrifugation
Definition
The homogenate (cell lysate) may be fractionated by differential centrifugation
Term
Fractionation of protein by column chromatography
Definition
Solid phases re generally built from polysaccharides
Term
Dialysis
Definition
used to remove small molecules such as salts from the sample and to exchange buffers for subsequent purification steps
Term
Gel Filtration
Definition

-Brands

.Sephadex

.Sephacryl

.Cellulose

.Biogel

-large molecules flow more rapidly though the column and emerge first because smaller volume is ccessible to them.

-a mixture of small proteins in a small volume is applied to column filled with pourous label because large protiens cannot enter intergral volume of beads and emerge sooner

Term
Ion exchange cromatograph
Definition

Seperated based on net chare

-seect the appropriate resin based on protein chare at a crentain pH

above pI- net negative charge

below pI- net positive charge

1. Apply sample

2.Was with low salt concentration

3. Elute with an increasing salt gradient (0 to 1M for example) 

Term
Ion exhange chromatography
Definition
Term
Afintiy Chromatogrpahy
Definition

-powerful mean for isolating transcription factors

-flucose-binding protien attatches to glucose resues on beds

-Glucose-binding protins are released on additon of glucose

-ex: Many recombinant protiens are expressed with a 6 His tag added on t facilitate purification on a Ni2+ afinity column

Term
Electrophorisis
Definition

-way of visulizing protiens

-protines not a the pI will move in n eletric field

-solid phases can be gels agrose or polyacdrylamide) or paper

-Electrophoretic mobilty epends on charge, size, pH, and voltage

-In SDS gel electrophoresis (denaturing gel eletrophoresis)

- a detergent sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and b-mercaptoethanol are added to the sample

-b-mercaptoehtanol

[image]

Term
Isoeletric Focussing
Definition

-samples move within a pH gradient in the gel (without SDS)until it reaches a position in the gell at which the pH is equalto the pI of the protein

-flat ben and open pourous gel ith gradient pH and protien will seperate via charge

Term
Enzyme activity
Definition

is expressed as units

1 U= umoles/min

-comparge absolute purity by saying u/mg

Term
Specific Activity
Definition
Relates the ratio of enzyme activity to the amount of protien in the mixture
Term
Density Gradient Centrifugation
Definition

-detrmine mass of sample

-make gradient of denisty in tube (layer)

-place in router in centrigue

-it would find its density

-fractionate based on density[image]

Term
Determination of amino acid sequence
Definition

-hydrolyzing Amino Acid

-breaking small bonds

[image]

[image]

Term
Edman degradation
Definition

to label the N-ternminal residue

-one way to sequence

-protien in order

-used to tage in order to label

-once labelded can be hydrolysed

-the tg with label phenyl has a characterstic speperation can be identified

Term
Where can trypsin cleave?
Definition
Carboxyl side of lysine and arginine residues
Term
Where does Clostripain cleave?
Definition
Carboxyl side of tyrosine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, leucine, and methionine
Term
Antigen
Definition
Things antibodies attatch to
Term
Antibody
Definition

is a protien

-synthesized by an animal in response to the presence of a foreign substance called an antigen

Term
epitope
Definition
specific group of cluster of amino acids on target molecule
Term

Polyclonal antibodies

 

Definition

heterogenous mixture of anibodies, each specific for one of varios epitopes on an antigen

-ex. serum of rabit antiodies

Term
monoconal antibodies
Definition
all identical produced by clones of a single anti-body producing cell. They recognize one specific epitope.
Term
Immortal cell lines
Definition

Problem: antibody-producing cells isolated from an organism have shor life spans

Solution: derive cell lines form cancer multiple myeloma, which generates large number of clls of a single kind

Bigger solution:

-fuse shortlived antibody with immortal myeloma

-antigen injected in mouse

-spleen removed serveral weeks later

-pasma from spleen fused with immortal cells

-result

.produces identical ntibody specified by partent cell of spleen

Term
Preperation of monoclonal antibodies
Definition

Hybridoma cells are formed by the fusion of antibody-producing cells and myeloma cells

-the hybrid cels are allowed to proliferate by growing the in selective medium

-they are then screened to determine which ones produe antibody of desired specifity

Term
Indirect elisa
Definition

. to detect presence of virus

Process

-antigen coated well

-wash

-specific antibody binds to antigen

-wash

-Ezme linked antibody binds to spcific antibody

-wash

-substrate is added and converted by ezyme into product

Term
Sandwish elisa
Definition

.detect antigen rather than antibody

-monoclonal antibody coated well

-wash

-antigen binds to anitbody

-wash

-second monoclonal antibody linked to enzyme binds to imobilized antigen

-wash

-substrate is added and cowashed by enzyme into produce

Term
What does Elisa Stand for?
Definition
Enzymed-linked immunosorbant assay
Term
Western Blotting
Definition

-permits directon of proteins seperated by gel electophoresis

-protiens on SDS-polyacrylamide gel are transferred to a polymer sheet (nitrocellulose) andstained with radioactive antibody

.a bond corresponding to the protein to which the antibody binds protein to which the antibody binds appear in the autoradio gram[image]

Term
Synthetic peptides serve as valuable tools
Definition
1. antigens to stimulate the formation of specific antibodies
2. to isolate receptors for many hormones and other signal molecules
3. drugs
4. to understant the rules governing protein folding into 3D structures
Term
Vasopressin
Definition

-a peptide hormone that stimulates water resoprtion

-a more stable syntheic aanolgo of this antidiruetic homone

 

Term
MALDI-TOF
Definition

. (matrix assisted base desorption-ionization)-(time of flight)

-how fast does molecule process
