Questions and Answers

Explain the importance of protein or enzyme purification.

Protein or enzyme purification is important for understanding its structure, kinetics, mechanisms, regulations, and role in a complex system, as well as to obtain maximum catalytic activity and maximum possible purity for use in medical and industrial purposes.

What are the general protein purification steps?

1- Fermentation and production of the protein of interest (enzyme) 2- Separation of the microbial cell from the culture media 3- Precipitation of protein using different methods 4- Dialysis, ultrafiltration 5- Chromatographic separation for the specific protein.

What are the detection methods for proteins?

1- Fermentation and production of the protein of interest under optimal conditions 2- Separation of the microbial cell from the culture media for extracellular or intracellular enzymes.

How are extracellular enzymes separated from the culture filtrate?

Extracellular enzymes are separated from the culture filtrate by either filtration or centrifugation. Signup and view all the answers

What is the next step when isolating intracellular substances for purification?

The next step when isolating intracellular substances for purification is to break the cells, either by chemical, physical, or biological means. Signup and view all the answers
