Chromatography

Gel Filtration: Separating Proteins by Size

No items found.

Learn how the composition of the column gel facilitates the separation of proteins based on their molecular size. Practise predicting the relative elution speed and elution order of proteins of different sizes.

Learning Outcomes

  • Explore how different sized proteins pass through or around gel beads in a column
  • Consider how differences in protein size can be used to aid protein purification
  • Predict the elution order of different sized proteins when run through a gel filtration column
