(noun)

Method of separating a biochemical mixture based on highly specific interactions.

Examples of Affinity chromatography in the following topics:

  • Mapping Protein-Protein Interactions

    • Affinity purification of protein complexes coupled to mass spectrometry is carried out as follows: a specific protein (the bait) is manipulated to express an affinity tag.
    • The tag serves as a tool to purify the bait protein and associated proteins by affinity chromatography.
  • Purifying Proteins by Affinity Tag

    • Affinity tags are appended to proteins so that they can be purified from their crude biological source using an affinity technique.
    • Chromatography tags are used to alter chromatographic properties of the protein to afford different resolution across a particular separation technique.
  • Metabolomics

    • The term "metabolic profile" was introduced by Horning, et al. in 1971, after they demonstrated that gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS; ) could be used to measure compounds present in human urine and tissue extracts.
    • GC-MS is a method that combines the features of gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify different substances within a test sample.
    • Separation methods: Gas chromatography, especially when interfaced with mass spectrometry (GC-MS), is one of the most widely used and powerful methods.
    • Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is a method that combines the features of gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify different substances within a test sample.
  • Northern Blots

    • Eukaryotic mRNA can then be isolated through the use of oligo (dT) cellulose chromatography to isolate only those RNAs with a poly(A) tail.
  • Crystallographic Analysis

    • .), purification of recombinant proteins (such as chromatography of affinity and gel filtration), enzymatic tests and inhibition measurement (spectrophotometry), crystallization, x-rays crystallography and structural analysis, interactions determination (microcalorimetry, fluorescence, BIAcore), conformational analyses (circular dichroism, ultracentrifugation, light scattering), modifications analysis (mass spectrometry), bioinformatics, and molecular modelisation.
  • Antibody Genes and Diversity

    • Affinity maturation occurs after V(D)J recombination, and is dependent on help from helper T cells.
  • Quorum Sensing

    • Recently, a well-studied quorum quenching bacterium has been isolated and its AHL degradation kinetic has been studied by using rapid resolution liquid chromatography (RRLC).
  • Proteomics

    • New methods include protein microarrays, immunoaffinity, and chromatography followed by mass spectrometry , dual polarisation interferometry, Microscale Thermophoresis, and experimental methods such as phage display and computational methods.
  • Obtaining DNA

    • The DNA is then purified using simple methods to remove contaminating proteins (extraction with phenol), RNA (ribonuclease) and smaller molecules (precipitation and/or chromatography).
