Affinity Purification
A biochemistry technique used to isolate and purify specifc
biomolecules, like proteins or nucleic acids, based on their
specific binding affnity to a known ligand or molecule.
Discovery
Discovered by Dr. Herbert Boyer and Dr. Stanley Cohen in the
early 1970s.
Purpose
This method allows for selective and effcient extraction of the
desired molecule from complex mixtures, facilitating further
analysis, characterization, or use in various applications like
research or medical diagnostics.
Components
There are three components of purification.
1. Matrix/Support
2. Affinity Ligand
3. Buffer System
Procedure
Affinity purification has following steps.
1. Equilibration
2. Sample Loading
3. Washing
4. Elution
5. Neutralization
Figure. Principle of affinity-based protein purification.
Applications
• Separation of mixture of compounds.
• Removal of impurities or in purification process.
• Detection of substrates
• Investigation of binding sites of enzymes
• In in vitro antigen-antibody reactions
• Detection of Single Nucleotide polymorphisms and mutations
in nucleic acids
Advantages
• High specificity
• Target molecules can be obtained in a highly pure state
• Single step purification
• The matrix can be reused rapidly.
• The matrix is a solid, can be easily washed and dried.
• Give purified product with high yield.
Limitations
• Time consuming method.
• May be expensive.
• Intense labour
• Non-specific adsorption cannot be totally eliminated
• Limited availability and high cost of immobilized ligands.
• Proteins get denatured if required pH is not adjusted.
Mass Spectrometry
• A technique used to analyze the mass-to-charge ratio of ions.
• A powerful tool in analytical chemistry and biochemistry for
identifying and quantifying molecules based on their mass.
Discovery
Mass spectrometry began with J.J. Thomson in 1913, and the
modern era saw key developments, including the invention of
the quadrupole mass filter in the 1950.
Procedure
1. Ionization
2. Acceleration
3. Deflection
4. Detection
Applications
• Used in various scientific disciplines, including
chemistry, biochemistry, environmental science, and
medicine.
• For tasks such as identifying unknown compounds,
determining molecular structures, and studying
biomolecules.
AP and MS
• Affinity purification is often coupled with mass spectrometry
(MS) in a technique called affinity-based mass spectrometry.
• After isolating a target biomolecule using affinity purification,
mass spectrometry is employed to analyze and identify the
purified molecules based on their mass-to-charge ratios.
Thank You
