Cell Disruption (Lysis)
- release proteins while preserving their structure and function
Clarification
- obtaining a clear supernatant containing soluble proteins
Initial Fractionation
- separating proteins into groups
Desalting /Buffer
Exchange
- remove exces solutes
- lower ionic strength
- remove reversible inhibitors
- remove receptor ligands

Centrifugation
- ampifies the efffect (increase the rate) when suspended particles will sediment if their density is greater than that of the sorrounding medium
tissue homogenate
low-speed centrifugation, pellet contains:
- whole cells
- nuclei
- cytoskeletons
plasma membranes
supernantant subjected to medium-speed centrifugation:
- mithocondria
- lysosomes
-peroxisomes
supernant subjected to high-speed centrifugation:
- microsomes (fragment of ER)
- small vesicles
supernant subjected to very high-speed centrifugation:
- ribosomes
- large macromolecules
-
Mechanical
Waring blender:
- high energy
- break down tissue, cells, subcellular components
Potter homogenizer:
- shear forces
- pressure
- cavitation
- enhanced with quarts dust/sand
- suitable for relatively fragile tissues
-
-
Enzymatic lysis
use of enzymes under controlled conditions
(ex. proteases, ipases, cell wall-degrading enzymes)
-
-
PREPARATIVE METHODS
- Isolate the protein
- 1+ components of a mixture in a pure form
-
-
-
-
Initial steps: low resolution
- not highly specific
- significantly reduce sample complex
- fast
Later steps: high resolution
highly selective methods used to separate proteins with similar properties
