ACS BIOCHEMISTRY EXAM Questions and Answers Henderson -Hasselbach Equation Ans- pH = pKa + log ([A -] / [HA]) Salting Out (Purification) Ans- Changes soluble protein to solid precipit ate. Protein precipitates when the charges on the protein match the charges in the solution. Size-Exclusion Chromatography Ans- Separates sample based on size with smaller molecules eluting later. Ion-Exchange Chromatography Ans- Separates sample based on charge. CM attracts +, DEAE attracts -. May have repulsion effect on like charges. Salt or acid used to remove stuck proteins. Affinity Chromatography Ans- Attach a ligand that binds a protein to a bead. Elute with harsh chemic als or similar ligand. SDS-PAGE Ans- Uses SDS. Gel is made from cross -linked polyacrylamide. Separates based off of mass with smaller molecules moving faster. Visualized with Coomassie blue. DTT (dithiothreitol) Ans- Reduces disulfide bonds.
