All of above
To elute target proteins from an affinity chromatography matrix, which of the following conditions would be the most appropriate?
Low salt concentrations
High salt concentrations
Adding a soluble ligand which competes with the affinity tagged protein for binding to the column
Just keep washing buffer through the column, isocratic elution
What is the starting point for selection of a suitable IEX matrix for purification of a recombinant protein?

Paper Chromatography
Using a salt gradient is most commonly used to elute proteins in which chromatography method?
HPLC
affinity
Ion Exchange
size exclusion
Which chromatography method relies on specific binding between a protein and a complimentary substrate/ligand?
HPLC
affinity
ion exchange
size exclusion
Which method would pass a liquid solvent through the stationary phase at high pressure?
HPLC
affinity
ion exchange
size exclusion
In size exclusion chromatography, why do large proteins elute first?
they travel through the void of stationary phase matrix so pass through the column quicker
they enter the porous matrix of the stationary phase so pass thorugh column quicker
small particles bind to the porous matrix of the stationary phase meaning large will elute first
they don't elute firts, the smaller proteins do.
A cation exchange column has which kind of charge?
postive
negative
An anion exchange column carries what kind of charge?
positive
negative
In cationic exchange which ion from the salt wash would outcompete the proteins bound to the column, causing them to elute
Na+
Cl-

Agarose
cellulose
dextrose
all of the above
To elute target proteins from an affinity chromatography matrix, which of the following elution methods is LEAST appropriate?
changing pH
Increasing ionic strength (e.g increasing NaCl gradient)
Using a competitive ligand (e.g competitive inhibitor)
isocratic elution (continual application of wash buffer)
Which of these techniques is often considered a suitable "polishing" step in a protein purification strategy?
Affinity chromatography (AC)
Ion-exchange chromatography (IEX)
Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC)
Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC)
What are the two(2) important phases of chromatography ?
mobile and inert phase
flexible and immobile phase
mobile and stationary phase
