Popis: | The separation of proteins using high-performance chromatofocusing with linear or concave pH gradients formed using simple mixtures of buffering species in the elution buffer is investigated experimentally. The separation achieved is comparable to that using polyampholyte elution buffers with these types of systems. More specifically, protein band widths at one half of the band height in the range between 0.1 and 0.025 pH units were observed, and good resolution was achieved of protein variants differing by a single amino acid residue in separation times of 30 min or less. An especially useful elution buffer is investigated that contains only four buffering species and that produces a linear pH gradient in the range between pH 9.5 and 6.0 when used together with a particular high-performance column packing made specifically for chromatofocusing. This elution buffer and column packing combination is evaluated by using it for the chromatofocusing of equine myoglobin and human hemoglobin variants. Additional applications are described in which a polyethyleneimine derivatized silica column packing and a pH gradient that is concave in shape are used for the separation of proteins in an E. coli cell lysate. |
