Lab 7 – Purification of RFP protein (mFP) from an overnight culture Day 1: Collection of Bacteria and cells lysis (break down) Liquid cultures to Lysis: Movie Clip from Teachers domain Student Guide Lab 7
Day 1 - Materials needed: • Per group: • 1 test tube with 1.5ml (full!) bacteria • (additional 1ml will be added by your teacher). Altogether: 2.5 ml. • 250 ul of Elution Buffer (EB) • 40 ul of Lysozyme (Lys) • a P-1000 pipetter, Tissue paper. • Per class: • Microcentrifuge, Vortex
Describe and explain the observation with: Oil Food Coloring Glass slide Wax paper

Lab 7: Purification of the RFP protein from the other bacterial proteins. Principles of protein purification:
1. Proteins differ in their amino acid sequence, and so.. • 2. Proteins differ in how polar or non-polar (hydrophobic they are). • 3. The more hydrophobic they are, the stronger they will bind a hydrophobic surface. • 4. We will isolate RFP based on its greater hydrophobicity, compared to the other bacterial proteins.
5. Chromatography: separation of chemicals according to their different affinity to the surface, as compared to the solvent. 6. Molecule with a greater relative affinity to the solid surface will be more delayed from coming out from the column. 7. The higher the salt concentration, the more attached to the column.
Students 1+2: Students 3+4: Spin Lysate Pass 3000 ml Equilibration B through column. Dump liquid. 5 min Spin Load 500 ml RFP Carefully Collect 250 ml Supernatant Into new tube Pass 1000 ml Wash B Add 2000 Elution B. COLLECT RED PROTEIN In TUBE! Add 250 ml Binding Buffer. Vortex. Cleanup (ask teacher) Pass 2000 ml Equilib. B
Last day of labs • Lab 7: Check protein by fluorescence. • Denature by boiling – what happens? • 2) Lab 7 Conclusions • 3) Cleanup: Fill tips, Pipettes, racks • 4) Notebooks: Label all assignments, journals. • 5) Reflection – Towards review
