Question

Match each of the following affinity chromatography terms with its definition or description.

Elution buffer, General ligand, Affinity ligand, Immobilization method, Application buffer, High-specificty ligand, Biospecific elution, Nonspecific elution.

___ A solvent that is used to displace the analyte from the immobilized molecule

___ It binds to a class or family of related molecules

___ It is one of a pari of interacting molecules that is immobilized onto the column support

___ This technique, the association equilibrium constant between the analyte and the immobilized ligand is decreased through a change in pH, ionic strength, or polarity.

___ A solvent that mimics the pH, ionic strength, and polarity of the immobilized molecule's natural environment

___ It binds to one or a few closely related molecules

___ This process typically involves covalently coupling of the molecule to the support through amine, carboxyl, or sulfhydryl groups on the molecule

___ In this technique, a completing agent is added to the mobile phase to displace the analyte from the immobilized molecule

Explanation / Answer

?

Elution buffer solvent that is used to displace the analyte from the immobilized molecule

General ligand It binds to a class or family of related molecules

High-specificty ligand It is one of a pair of interacting molecules that is immobilized onto the column support

Immobilization method This technique, the association equilibrium constant between the analyte and the immobilized ligand is decreased through a change in pH, ionic strength, or polarity.

Application buffer that mimics the pH, ionic strength, and polarity of the immobilized molecule's natural environment

Affinity ligand It binds to one or a few closely related molecules

Biospecific elution This process typically involves covalently coupling of the molecule to the support through amine, carbox

Nonspecific elution in this technique, a completing agent is added to the mobile phase to displace the analyte from the immobilized molecu
