Record 2 2011-08-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

An affinity purification technique based on ’non-specific’ adsorption to an ion exchanger. Cation exchangers appear to be particularly useful for this purpose. Purification specificity is achieved using gradient elution with substrate.

CONT

Affinity elution is complementary to affinity chromatography in that in the former technique the specificity of interaction is at the stage of desorption from the chromatographic support material, whereas in the latter the specificity occurs at the stage of adsorption. In affinity elution the enzyme of interest(along with others) is adsorbed onto an ion exchanger... and then is eluted specifically by the appropriate substrate.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
DEF

Technique de séparation des protéines qui est l'inverse de la chromatographie d'affinité : l'enzyme est adsorbée sur un échangeur d'ion et éluée par une solution de substrat, d'inhibiteur compétitif ou d'effecteur allostérique. Exemple : la ribonucléase, adsorbée sur phosphocellulose, est éluée par une solution de RNA.

Record 3 2011-08-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

Type of chromatography developed following the observation that certain proteins were unexpectedly retained on affinity gels containing hydrophobic spacer arms. This concept was extended, and families of hydrophobic adsorbents prepared using a homologous series of hydrocarbon chains of different lengths. In practice most proteins can be satisfactorily purified using C-8 or phenyl substituents. Hydrophobic interactions are strongest at high ionic strength, so adsorption to a hydrophobic matrix can be conveniently performed after a salt precipitation or ion exchange chromatography step. Elution can be effected by altering the solvent ionic strength, pH, or composition or by the use of a dielectric constant modifier such as ethanediol.

CONT

When carrying out the hydrophobic chromatography of human urokinase ..., the solution containing the crude urokinase which is prepared from human urine in the usual simple method, is adjusted to a salt concentration of 0.2 to 2 M, preferably 0.2 to 1 M. The solution is then made to flow through the hydrophobic column packed with the protein adsorbent of this process.... The pH is not critical when carrying out the hydrophobic chromatography, however, the pH is usually adjusted to pH 5.5 to 10, preferably 6 to 8.5 at which pH urokinase is stable against inactivation. Purified urokinase can be obtained by treating the effluent from the hydrophobic column in a usual method, namely by lyophilization after desalting.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
CONT

Certaines observations faites en chromatographie d'affinité ont montré que divers effets non spécifiques étaient attribuables à des interactions de type hydrophobe. De là est venue l'idée d'employer des chaînes carbonées fixées à un support d'agarose. On dispose maintenant de familles de composés, ne différant entre eux que par de minimes variantes de structure, mais présentant des propriétés chromatographiques intéressantes. Diverses protéines se fixent réversiblement et selon des modalités variées à ces chaînes hydrophobes : c'est donc une possibilité de séparation. Cette chromatographie "hydrophobe" est actuellement en expansion.

Record 6 2010-09-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

Chromatography in which the adsorptive force is provided by molecules adhering to the surface of a solid packed in a column, spread as a thin film on a glass or plastic sheet, or as a coating inside a tube; the various components move through the stationary phase at different velocities, according to their degree of attraction to it, and are deposited at specific sites on the adsorbent.

CONT

Adsorption chromatography offers a powerful enzyme recovery technique as the relative specificity of interaction of the matrix used enables concentration and partial purification to be effected simultaneously. A number of examples exist where this method has been used very successfully in the initial recovery of extracellular enzymes on a large scale. However, most of those examples involve high cost enzymes, that is those required for research or analytical purposes.

Record 9 2003-11-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

A form of gas chromatography in which the moving phase is a gas and the stationary phase is a surface-active sorbent(charcoal, silica gel, or activated alumina). The separation is achieved by adsorption of the components of a sample.

OBS

The physical states of the mobile and stationary phases give rise to four basic types of chromatography: gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), gas-solid chromatography (GSC), liquid - liquid chromatography (LLC), and liquid-solid chromatography (LSC). Of the four basic types of chromatography, the two gas systems are independent and not subject to subdivisions. Thus the terms "gas-liquid chromatography" and "gas-solid chromatography" adequately identify the techniques involved. The liquid systems are not as easily described and are not mutually exclusive, which can lead to considerable confusion.

Key term(s)
  • gas adsorption chromatography
  • solid gas chromatography

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie analytique
DEF

Chromatographie en phase gazeuse dans laquelle la phase fixe est constituée par un adsorbant solide.

OBS

Dans cette définition, le premier mot spécifie la nature de la phase mobile et le second la phase stationnaire. En chromatographie gazeuse, la distinction entre gaz-solide peut paraître obscure : des liquides peuvent être employés pour modifier les phases stationnaires solides et les supports solides utilisés pour retenir les phases stationnaires liquides qui peuvent affecter le processus chromatographique. Dans un classement selon la nature des phases, le terme relatif à l'effet prédominent doit être choisi.

«Chromatographie gaz-solide» a été normalisé par l'AFNOR.

A major difficulty with liquid chromatography is predicting the proper phase systems to use, and in most instances these must be determined experimentally. Both liquid-liquid(partition) and liquid-solid(adsorption) processes operate on differences in solute polarities since polarity is important in determining both adsorption and solubility. Liquid-liquid partition processes are quite sensitive to small molecular-weight differences in solutes and so are preferred for the separation of members of a homologous series.
