When performing column chromatography to purify a protein of interest, one needs an assay to identify which fractions that contain the protein of interest. True or False: As discussed in lecture, we use a different assay for each different protein that we purify (For instance, the assay for protein A will be different than the assay for protein B which will be different than the assay for protein C, etc).

True

Explanation:

Protein purification involves isolating them from their source based on differences in their physical properties. The objective in chromatography is to retain the largest amount of functional protein with the least number of contaminants, which is why an assay needs to be performed for each type of protein.

kelp are large brown algae that live in cool, relatively shallow waters close to the shore. they grow in dense groupings much like a forest on land. these underwater towers of kelp provide food and shelter for thousands of fish, invertebrates, and marine mammal species.
