Hello,

I am pretty new to protein purification and would appreciate some clarification on anion exchange chromatography using GE DEAE Sephacel.

1. Is gravity flow sufficient for this experiment?

2. How much of DEAE sephacel would I have to put on my column?

3. My protein's isoelectric point is 5.07. The buffer I have chosen is piperazine with pkA 5.7 at 25 degrees C. I am planning to adjust pH to 6.07 for this experiment. Does this seem right?

4. How do I determine best flow rate?

5. What NaCl concentrations is best to elute my sample ? The recommended is 0-.5M, but I was wondering how to approach choosing the right concentrations.

Thanks so much for your time!

As usual,

an undergraduate researcher with many questions

Have a great day!
