When you add salt to a H2O solution, you initially INCREASE the solubility of the protein as you salt in. This is due to a reduction in charge to charge interactions. As you continue to increase the salt concentration, the protein is then salted out as the salt and water compete. The entire process is a curve. Thanks for all the videos, they are excellent.
great video, very educational, but i wish i hadn't been distracted by my half-blind eyes screaming the whole time tbh i'm kinda impressed what kinda lighting did he use-
this is basically explained on the basis of a protein which possess hydrophilic aa on its outer surface.. that is globular proteins that is found in our blood..
Actually, most of proteins are more soluble in small concentrations of salt than in pure water (salting in). Moreover, the conventional dialysis would not separte these proteins. We should centrifuge fibrin and take out the supernatant with albumins. Then we can put fibrin into dialysis to remove salt. Nevertheless, good explanation, as always.
From the figure, why only the hydrogen from water molecule interact with the hydrophilic part of protein? Can the oxygen interact on the hydrophilic part as well?
please if you can explain to me, why the mobile phases containing a concentration of ammonium sulfate promote the binding of many proteins to HIC columns??
QUESTION : will more hydrophobic amino acids precipitate first or will more hydrophilic amino acids precipitate first? I have been trying to figure this out for a while and honestly the reasoning in my head for either one kinda makes sense.
Thank You For This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much. How do we separate proteins that is already dissolve in a salt. For example beta-glucosidase in citrate......... How do i get this enzyme out of this salt.
If you were to add 2.4M to the solution, would it be impossible via salting out to distinguish between the two precipitates? I would imagine that if you attain the fibrogen salt concentration first at .8 M, then repeat the process with 2.4 M, you could subtract some net precipitate value from the fibrogen concentration value to attain the serum albumin value. Does this make any remote sense or am I speaking nonsense?
