Determining the identity and purity of recombinant proteins by UV absorption spectroscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Because each protein (gene product) has a unique amino acid sequence, the particular aromatic amino acid content of each protein results in a unique spectrum in the near-UV (250 to 350 nm) region. The highly specific microenvironment experienced by each aromatic residue in the three-dimensional protein matrix results in fine shifts in a protein's spectrum. This unit provides protocols for the detection and analysis of UV spectra of recombinant proteins and their peptide fragments. The unique UV spectral properties of proteins can in turn be used to assess their purity. This application is inherent in the use of a diode array detector to monitor the effluent from a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) column. A protocol using this technique to assess the purity of recombinant proteins is presented.

Background: Increase of protein purity is a serious challenge in the production of recombinant therapeutic proteins. For this purpose, several strategies have been employed to purify the target protein, among which the affinity chromatography-based purification methods and tagged proteins such as Ni-NTA are common and but costly. Therefore column-free purification techniques, such as using elas...

For the purpose of increasing the permeability to oxygen and equilibrium water content in contact lenses, polar copolymers with nonionic monomers such as 2-hydroxyethle methacrylate(HEMA) Is used. By adding the polar monomers to (HEMA), the permeability to oxygen and equilibrium with water content is increased and also the absorption of proteins on lens surface is changed. In this research, the...
