Protein Separation Open Access Journals

Protein purification or separation may be a series of processes intended to isolate one or few proteins from a posh mixture.Protein purification is important for the characterisation of the function, structure and interaction of the protein of interest. Proteins are often separated consistent with solubility, size , charge and binding affinity. Purified proteins are required for several experimental applications, including structural studies and in vitro biochemical assays. Proteins are often obtained from a tissue or, more often, by their overexpression during a model organism, like bacteria, yeast, or mammalian cells in culture. Protein purification involves isolating proteins from the source, supported differences in their physical properties. The objective of a protein purification scheme is to retain the most important amount of the functional protein with fewest contaminants. The purification scheme of a protein must be optimized to complete this process in the least number of steps.The most important consideration in the development of a protein purification scheme is the downstream application of the purified protein. Both the quantity and purity of the protein must be sufficient for experimental analysis. Additionally, information about the behavior of the protein must be taken into consideration, as well-folded and functional protein is required for downstream studies.
