This chapter delves into the essential processes of protein purification and analysis. Pure proteins are crucial for studying enzyme functions, structural analysis, and determining amino acid sequences. Key steps in protein purification include assay development, protein source selection, tissue extraction, cell disruption, and subcellular fractionation. Techniques such as differential centrifugation, chromatography (gel permeation, ion-exchange, affinity), and electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE, isoelectric focusing) are outlined for assessing protein purity and characterization. The chapter also covers methods for amino acid analysis and protein sequencing.

Chapter 3 (part 2) Protein purification and Analysis
Why purify proteins? • Pure proteins are required to study enzyme function • Pure proteins are required for structural analysis (x-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy) • Pure proteins are required to obtain amino acid sequence
Steps in protein purification • Develop assay • Choose source of protein • Prepare tissue extract • cell disruption • subcellular fractionation • Protein fractionation (several steps) • Determination of purity
