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

Amino Acid Analysis • Acid hydrolyze protein • Treat with phenylisothiocyanate (PICT) • Separate derivatized AA’s by HPLC +
Protein Sequencing (Edman Degradation) 1) 2) Repeat Trifluoroacetic acid 3) + Can sequence in 30 to 60 AA’s from N-terminus
Generate Proteolytic Fragments • Endopeptidases • Typsin cleaves at COOH end of Lys and Arg • Chymotrypsin cleaves at COOH end of Phe, Tyr, Trp • Chemical Cleavages • Cyanogen Bromide cleaves at COOH end of Met • Generate overlapping fragments • Sequence individual fragments and piece together sequence
