This document discusses affinity chromatography. It begins by explaining that affinity chromatography uses a specific affinity between a substance to be isolated and a molecule (ligand) that it can bind to. The ligand is attached to an inert matrix. Various matrices, ligands, and coupling agents are discussed. Applications include purifying enzymes, antibodies, and glycoproteins. While single step and high yielding, limitations include non-specific binding and ligand availability/cost. Overall, affinity chromatography provides high selectivity and resolution for target molecule purification.

Affinity Chromatography involves the covalent attachment of an immobilized biochemical called as affinity ligand to a solid support. When a sample is passed through the column, only solute that selectively binds to the complementary ligand is retained; other sample components elute without retention. The separation exploit the “lock and key” binding that is prevalent in biological systems. The retention solutes can be eluted from the column by changing the mobile phase composition.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.

Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982
Heavy metals are naturally occuring metallic chemical elements that have relatively high density, and are toxic at even low concentrations. All toxic metals are termed as heavy metals irrespective of their atomic mass and density, eg. arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium, chromium, etc.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
3. Chromatography:
Chromatography is a collective term for a set of laboratory
techniques for the separation of mixtures.
Affinity chromatography:
Discovered by Pedro Cuatrecasas and Meir Wilcheck.
Affinity chromatography is a type of chromatography
that makes use of a specific affinity between a
substance to be isolated and a molecule that it can
specifically bind.
4. Based on specific affinity between
substance to be isolated and a
molecule that it can specifically
bind(a ligand).

to matrices)

COMPONENTS OF AFFINITY
PHASE:-
Matrix: for ligand attachment.
Matrix should be
chemically and
physically inert.
Spacer arm: used to
improve binding between ligand
and target molecule
by overcoming any effects of
steric hindrance.
Ligand: molecule
that binds reversibly to a specific
target molecule or
7. The matrix is an inert support to which a ligand can
be directly or indirectly coupled.
It has some peculiar qualities like:-
a. Does not itself adsorb molecules to a significant
amount.
b. Ligand must be coupled without altering its binding
properties.
c. Stability under a wide range of experimental
conditions such as high and low pH, detergent and
dissociating conditions.
The most useful matrix materials are agarose and
polyacrylamide .
9. • To prevent the attachment of
the ligand to the matrix
interfering with its ability to
bind the macromolecules.
• The optimum length~
6-10 carbon atoms or their
equivalent.
• More commonly used for
small immobilized ligands.
• Example:-1,6-diamino
hexane and 6-amino
hexanoic acid.

11. The ligand is the molecule that binds reversibly
to a specific molecule or group of molecules ,
enabling purification by affinity
chromatography.
The selection of the ligand for affinity
chromatography is influenced by two factors:
1. ligand must exhibit specific and reversible
binding affinity for the target substance(s)
2. It must have chemically modifiable groups that
allow it to be attached to the matrix without
destroying binding activity.

The matrix is a solid, can be easily washed and
dried.
Give purified product with high yield.
Affinity chromatography can also be used to
remove specific contaminants, such as
proteases.
25. Non-specific adsorption can not be totally
eliminated, it can only be minimized.
Limited availability and high cost of immobilized
ligands.
Proteins get denatured if required pH is not
adjusted.
26. Affinity chromatography is one of the most
reliable chromatographic techniques.
This technique offers high selectivity,
hence high resolution & usually high
capacity for proteins of interest.
It is theoretically capable of giving
absolute purifications even from complex
mixtures in a single process.
