Download or read book HPLC of Peptides and Proteins written by Marie-Isabel Aguilar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-02-03 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to the analysis of peptides and proteins some 25 years ago revolutionized the biological sciences by enabling the rapid and sensitive analysis of peptide and protein structure through the exquisite speed, sensitivity, and resolution that can be easily obtained. Today, HPLC in its various modes has become the pivotal technique in the characterization of peptides and proteins and currently plays a critical role in both our understanding of biological processes and in the development of peptide- and protein-based pharmaceuticals. The number of applications of HPLC in peptide and protein purification continues to expand at an extremely rapid rate. Solid-phase peptide synthesis and recombinant DNA techniques have allowed the production of large quantities of peptides and proteins that need to be highly purified. HPLC techniques are also used extensively in the isolation and characterization of novel proteins that will become increasingly important in the postgenomic age. The design of multidimensional purification schemes to achieve high levels of product purity further demonstrates the power of HPLC techniques not only in the characterization of cellular events, but also in the production of pepti- and protein-based therapeutics. HPLC continues to be at the heart of the analytical techniques with which scientists in both academia and in industry must arm themselves to be able to fully characterize the identity, purity, and potency of peptides and proteins.

  • Pages : 311 pages

Download or read book Protein Structure Analysis written by Roza Maria Kamp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Protein Structure Analysis - Preparation and Characterization" is a compilation of practical approaches to the structural analysis of proteins and peptides. Here, about 20 authors describe and comment on techniques for sensitive protein purification and analysis. These methods are used worldwide in biochemical and biotechnical research currently being carried out in pharmaceu tical and biomedical laboratories or protein sequencing facilities. The chapters have been written by scientists with extensive ex perience in these fields, and the practical parts are well documen ted so that the reader should be able to easily reproduce the described techniques. The methods compiled in this book were demonstrated in student courses and in the EMBO Practical Course on "Microsequence Analysis of Proteins" held in Berlin September 10-15, 1995. The topics also derived from a FEBS Workshop, held in Halkidiki, Thessaloniki, Greece, in April, 1995. Most of the authors participated in these courses as lecturers and tutors and made these courses extremely lively and successful. Since polypeptides greatly vary depending on their specific structure and function, strategies for their structural analysis must for the most part be adapted to each individual protein. Therefore, advantages and limitations of the experimen tal approaches are discussed here critically, so that the reader becomes familiar with problems that might be encountered.

Book excerpt: High-Performance Liquid Chromatography of Proteins and Peptides contains the proceedings of the first International Symposium on High-Performance Liquid Chromatography of Proteins and Peptides, held in Washington, D.C., on November 16-17, 1981. The symposium focused on the use of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in the analysis, characterization, and isolation of peptides and proteins and encompassed six sessions covering size exclusion, ion exchange, and reversed phase chromatography, as well as the use of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in protein structural studies and peptide isolation. This book is comprised of 28 chapters and begins with a discussion on the status of high-performance ion-exchange chromatography of proteins, followed by an analysis of peptic fragmentation of human immunoglobulin G using HPLC. The physicochemical basis of peptide retention with chemically bonded hydrocarbonaceous silicas and the isolation of biologically active peptides from tissue extracts are also examined. Subsequent chapters explore some additional applications of HPLC, such as cord blood screening for hemoglobin disorders; purification of commercial trypsin and chymotrypsin; characterization of human alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzymes; and structural studies of neurophysins, photolabeled derivatives, and biosynthetic precursors. This monograph should be of value to students and researchers interested in the use of HPLC to study proteins and peptides.

Book Analytical Techniques for the Elucidation of Protein Function

Download or read book Analytical Techniques for the Elucidation of Protein Function written by Isao Suetake and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-03-27 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES FOR THE ELUCIDATION OF PROTEIN FUNCTION An essential aid for scientists seeking alternative techniques for investigating proteins Proteins are the building blocks of living organisms, and they play an enormous range of fundamental roles in sustaining and shaping life. The critical determinant of a protein’s function is its structure, and the analysis of protein structures has therefore become a significant component of biological research. In recent years, longstanding analytical techniques such as X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy have been supplemented by a number of new methods which promise to revolutionize the study of proteins and their functions. Analytical Techniques for the Elucidation of Protein Function serves as an introduction to these techniques, which are especially crucial for analyzing intrinsically disordered regions and post-translational modifications. These have revolutionized the study of proteins in recent years, and conventional methods for analyzing protein structures are no longer sufficient to work through their ramifications. This book therefore brings greater awareness of techniques which promise to produce the very cutting edge of protein research. Analytical Techniques for the Elucidation of Protein Function readers will find: A discussion of techniques including electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, neutron scattering, Raman imaging, and more Both theoretical background and practical applications for each technique Contributions from leading international researchers into protein structure and function This practically focused text is a valuable reference for protein and peptide analysis and synthesis researchers, as well as for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in the life sciences.

Book Methods in Protein Structure Analysis

Download or read book Methods in Protein Structure Analysis written by M. Zouhair Atassi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The MPSA international conference is held in a different country every two years. It is devoted to methods of determining protein structure with emphasis on chemistry and sequence analysis. Until the ninth conference, MPSA was an acronym for Methods in Protein Sequence Analysis. To give the conference more flexibility and breadth, the Scientific Advisory Committee of the lOth MPSA decided to change the name to Methods in Protein Structure Analysis; however, the emphasis remains on "methods" and on "chemistry. " In fact, this is the only major conference that is devoted to methods. The MPSA conference is truly international, a fact clearly reflected by the composi tion of its Scientific Advisory Committee. The Scientific Advisory Committee oversees the scientific direction of the MPSA and elects the chairman of the conference. Members of the committee are elected by active members, based on scientific standing and activity. The chairman, subject to approval of the Scientific Advisory Committee, appoints the Organizing Committee. It is this latter committee that puts the conference together. The lectures of the MPSA have traditionally been published in a special proceedings issue. This is different from, and more detailed than, the special MPSA issue of the Journal of Protein Chemistry in which only a brief description of the talks is given in short papers and abstracts. In the I Oth MPSA, about half the talks are by invited speakers and the remainder were selected from submitted short papers and abstracts.
