Science Center Laboratories Lab Report #2 Auburn University Madeline Gunsiorowski RESULTS Table 1: purification table of ion exchange chromatography Table 2: purification table of size exchange chromatography Table 1 and table 2 show the concentration of each sample, the measures absorbances, calculated absorbance changes, specific acidity, total volume, total protein, total activity, percent yield and purity level. These results help to identify the purity of the lysozyme following each chromatography procedure. The differences in the tables show that the ion exchange chromatography is more effective since the specific activity of the lysozyme sample has a higher specific activity following this procedure compared to size exchange chromatography. DISCUSSION The ion exchange chromatography procedure is more efficient than the size exchange as the specific activity of the lysozyme is higher following ion exchange than following the size exchange procedure (tables 1 and 2). In order to purify lysozyme from the crude sample of an egg white, more than one chromatography procedure must be utilized. The proteins found within the egg white with the lysozyme are mostly smaller in isoelectric point values [1] meaning the ion exchange chromatography procedure be put to use first, separating the proteins of higher isoelectric point values from the smaller ones, resulting in a solution that only contains lysozyme and avidin. Then size exchange chromatography should be put to use in order to separate the smaller lysozyme from the more molecular heavy avidin protein. Another chromatography procedure could be used if not for this size exclusion procedure as an affinity chromatography in which the gel is made up of peptidoglycan, lysosome’s substrate, would also provide the same results, purified lysozyme [2].
