Progress in science depends on new techniques, new discoveries and
new ideas, probably in that order.

Why do we analyse proteins?
Explore how amino acid sequences specify thestructure of proteins
How proteins bind to substrates and othermolecules to perform their functions.
Understand the function of the protein based on its
structure.

Main Steps in Protein Analysis
1. Extraction of proteins.
2. Purification of the protein.
3. Structural Characterization of the protein.

Protein Characterization
Characterization of proteins and peptides: 3
different processes:
1. Determining the Amino Acid Composition
finding out the amino acids that make up the protein and theirnumber.
2. Determining the Amino Acid Sequence
finding out the sequence of amino acids of the proteins in their
order.
3. Determining the Molecular mass of the Protein

Determination of Amino Acid Composition
peptide hydrolyzed amino acids by heating in 6M HCl at
110C for 24 hrs. The amino acidsseparated by HPLC.
measured by reacting them with ninhydrin. Alpha Amino acids
intense blue color , imino acids (proline, hydroproline)yellow color.
The concentration of a single amino acid is proportional to the
light absorbance of the solution after adding ninhydrin.
The elution profile of the amino acids is obtained.
The identity of the amino acid is revealed by its elution volume

Determination of protein Molecular Mass by Mass Spectrometry
Mass Spectrometry: include an ionization source, a mass
analyzer and a detector. The ion hits the mass analyzer. The
time the ions take in flight is recorded by triggering a laser
pulse.
It depends on one principle
The smaller ions will fly faster and hit the detector first
then the larger ions reach. The ions hit the detector in
order by mass.

Genetica y-engineere tags provi e an easy way to
purify proteins
- antigenic determinant, or epitope, recognized
by a specific antibody
- short string of histidines (His-tag) binds to anaffinity column containing immobilized nickel
ions
- Glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion
