Ion Exchange Chromatography separates proteins based on ___
charge
The overall net charge of a protein is dependent upon the __ of the solution it is contained in
pH
A protein's ____ is the pH at which there is an overall net neutral charge on the molecule
isoelectirc point (pl)
A protein will not bind to a charged column if the pH is equal to __
the protein's pl
As pH increases above the pl, protons ___, leaving a net __ charge on the protein
leave the side chains

negative
If the pH decreases below the pl, protons __ and cause an overall net __ charge
associate with the protein

positive
A protein will bind to a column that is of ___ charge
opposite

___ is the counter ion for anion exchangers
Cl
___ is the counter ions for cation exchangers
Na
Anion exchange chromatography involves exchanging ___ charged anions by using beads of a ___ charge and a buffer with a pH __ than the pl of the protein to ensure it has a ___ charge
(-)
(+)
higher
(-)
Cation exchange chromatogrpahy involves exchanging ___ charged cations by using beads that are ___ charged and buffer with a pH ___ than the pl of the protein of interest
(+)
(-)
lower
(+)
The difference between the buffer pH and the protein's pl affects the rate at which _____
the protein will travel through the column
Proteins should be placed in a buffer of pH generally __ unit(s) or greater away from the pl to ensure that proteins will ____
one

fully bind to the column

NaCl
Proteins in a buffer with a pH close to their pl will elute ___
first
A NaCl ____ is used to elute proteins one by one by slowly increasing the concentration of salt
gradient
To select the appropriate type of IEX matrix (cation or anion) one must understand ____
protein charge
The net charge of a protein is dependent on ___
pH
At its isoelectric point, the net charge of a protein is ___ and ___ binding will occur to the gel matrix
zero

no
Choosing an appropriate IEX matrix also depends on the pH at which the protein is most ____
stable
To determine this a ___ test can be performed where the protein of interest is placed in various ____ and ___ and precipitation can be observed

positive
the buffer should have a pH greater than ___ unit away from the pl of the protein to ensure: ___
one
