Abstract

Protein separation and purification is a hallmark of most undergraduate biochemistry labs. Traditional procedures involve the chromatographic separations of a single protein from a homogenate. This laboratory exercise describes the separation of four proteins which have been covalently modified to be visible during the separations. The simultaneous purification of four proteins allows students to develop an understanding not only of chromatographic techniques, but also how the structure of proteins influence chromatographic behavior.
