Separation techniques of protein

Q. 1 Proteins are separated on the basis of charge in ‑

 A SDS-PAGE

 B

Ultracentrifugation

 C

Affinity chromatography

 D

HPLC

Q. 1

Proteins are separated on the basis of charge in ‑

 A

SDS-PAGE

 B

Ultracentrifugation

 C

Affinity chromatography

 D

HPLC

Ans. D

Explanation:

Ans. is ‘d’ i.e., HPLC


Q. 2

Molecular size of protein is determined by‑

 A

Sedimentation

 B

SDS-PAGE

 C

Salting out

 D

Lyophilization

Ans. B

Explanation:

Ans. ‘B’ SDS PAGE

Molecular size is determined by

  • Gel filtration chromatography (molecular-sieve chromatography or size exclusion chromatography)
  • Ultracentrifugation
  • SDS-PAGE (Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis)
  • Dialysis

Q. 3 Which of the following is used to study protein-protein interaction ‑

 A Western blot

 B

Affinity electrophoresis

 C

Thin-layer chromatography

 D

None

Ans. B

Explanation:

  • The most conventional and widely used high-throughput methods for protein-protein interactions (PPI) are yeast two-hybrid screening and affinity purification coupled to mass spectroscopy.

Other methods used to study PPI are:-

  • LI Affinity electrophoresis
  • Co-immunoprecipitation
  • Protein microarrays
  • Analytical ultracentrifugation
  • Light scattering
  • Fluorescence spectroscopy
  • SPINE (strep-protein interaction experiment)
  • LUMIER (luminescence-based mammalian interactome mapping)
  • Calorimetry
  • QUICK (quantitative immunoprecipitation combined with knock-down)
  • BiFC (Biomolecular fluorescence complementation)
  • PLA (Proximity ligation assay)
  • Resonance energy transfer system
  • Mammalian protein-protein interaction trap
  • Surface plasma resonance
  • Protein-fragment complementation assay
  • Tandem affinity purification

Q. 4

Which of the following method of protein sepa­ration is not dependent on molecular size ‑

 A

Gel filtration chromatography

 B

Ultracentrifugation

 C

Ion-exchange chromatography

 D

SDS-PAGE

Ans. C

Explanation:

In this method, the separation is based on electrostatic attraction between charged biological molecules to oppositely charged groups on the ion exchange resins. These resins are cross-linked polymers containing ionic groups as part of their structure. The polymer must be sufficiently cross-linked to have negligible solubility, but porous enough for the ions to diffuse freely through it.
