High affinity good, lower affinity better

High-throughput affinity mass spectrometry.

Affinity mass spectrometry (AMS) is a proteomics approach for selectively isolating target protein(s) from complex biological fluids for mass spectrometric analysis. The resulting high-content mass spectrometry (MS) data show the unique MS protein signatures (wild-type, posttranslationally modified, as well as genetically modified forms of the protein target) that are present within a biologica...

Preparation of Plasminogen by Affinity Chromatography

Background: Plasminogen is one of the compounds derived from human plasma. Activation of plasminogen produces plasmin. Plasmin is able to lyse fibrinogen, fibrin, and some other human plasma proteins. The aim of the present work was to study the separation of human plasminogen by affinity chromatography using gel lysine Sepharose. Materials and Methods: Normal human plasma was used as the...

Preparation and Characterisation of Immunoadsorbents for High Performance Liquid Affinity Chromatography (HPLAC)

The efficacy of activation methods and coupling were studied in the context of performance in batch and fixed bed binding experiments utilizing cell culture fluids or blood plasma as feedstock. Conclusions were drawn regarding selection of solid phase according to pore size, rigidity, pH stability, Chemistry of derivation and activation, and gross concentration of immobilized ligand require...
