Questions and Answers

What is the principle behind affinity chromatography?

  • Use of high pressure to separate biomolecules from a mixture
  • Utilization of magnetic fields to isolate biomolecules
  • Dependence on differences in molecular weight for separation
  • Specific binding interactions between the analyte of interest and a stationary phase with an immobilized ligand (correct)
  • What type of interactions are frequently exploited for isolation of various biomolecules in affinity chromatography?

  • Covalent bonding between molecules
  • Hydrophobic interactions between molecules
  • Ionic interactions between molecules
  • Antigen and antibody, enzyme and substrate, receptor and ligand, or protein and nucleic acid binding interactions (correct)
  • What is the advantage of affinity chromatography?

  • Ability to separate biomolecules based on color differences
  • Fast separation of biomolecules
