The intent of this experiment is to seperate atoms as complex and the other little 1s by assisting gel exlusion chromotography and calculate affinity as a per centum.
Theory
Gel filtration chromatography is a method for dividing proteins and peptides based on their size.The chromatographic matrix consists of porous beads, and the size of the bead pores. They can specify the size of macro-molecules that may be fractionated. Those proteins that are excessively big to come in the bead pores are ‘excluded’and therefore elute from the column foremost. Since big molecules do non come in the beads, they have less volume to go through through, which is why they are the first to elute from the column. Smaller macromolecules that enter some, but non all of the pores are retained somewhat longer in the matrix and emerge from the column following. Finally, little molecules filter through most of the pores, and they elute from the column with an even larger elution volume. This method is besides called gel pervasion, molecular screen, gel-exclusion, and size-exclusion chromatography. Since no binding is required and rough elution conditions can be avoided, gel-filtration chromatography seldom inactivates enzymes, and frequently is used as an of import measure in peptide or protein purification.

Ligand
Atom, or molecule attached to a cardinal atom, normally of a passage component, in a coordination or complex compound. It is about ever the electron-pair giver in a covalent bond. Common ligands include the impersonal molecules H2O ( H2O ) , ammonia ( NH3 ) , and C monoxide ( CO ) and the anions cyanide ( CN- ) , chloride ( Cl- ) , and hydrated oxide ( OH- ) . Rarely, ligands are cations and electron-pair acceptors ( electrophiles ) . Organic ligands include EDTA ( chelate ) and nitrilotriacetic acid. Biological systems rely on ligands such as the porphyrin in haemoglobin and chlorophyll, and legion cofactors are ligands. In chelates, the ligand attaches at more than one point, sharing more than one negatron brace, and is called bidentate or polydentate holding two or many “ dentitions. ” The ligands in a composite may be the same or different.
LIGAND -PROTEIN INTERACTIONS
Ligand molecule can adhere and do a complex with biomolecule for biological intent. It binds those molecules with intermolecular forces such as ionic bonds, h-bonding and Van der Waals forces. Therefore ; the reaction between Ligand and protein is reversible.
Ligand + Receptor Ligand-Receptor
If Ligand and receptor makes covalent bond, the reaction becomes irreversible. This state of affairs will barricade the biological procedures.
Serum albumen is the most abundant plasma protein that is in worlds and other mammals. It is required for keeping the osmotic force per unit area that is needed for distribution of organic structure fluids between intravascular compartments and organic structure tissues. It is besides a bearer protein by non-specifically adhering several biomolecules.

Sephadex
Procedure
1.0.1g phenol red was dissolved in 10ml ethanoate buffer.
2.The sephadex gel was poured into it, after rinsing chromatography column with acetate buffer.
3.It was waited to polymerise gel.
4.6 samples were prepared with different concentration of phenol ruddy solution by blending same volume of ethanoate buffer and albumen.
5.250micromilli of first sample was put into the gel and added 50ml ethanoate buffer easy.
6.The pourer of column was opened and filled cuvvettes with 200micromilli 1M NaOH and 2mld H2O for each cuvvette.
7.The optical density of samples was measured at 520nm.
8.The stairss were repeated for the other samples.
CALCULATIONS AND OBSERVATIONS
Gel filtration was used to seperate molecules.6 samples were prepared to detect consequences and step absorbance.My group was examined 5th and 6 Thursday samples.
20g BAS was put into 5th and 6th samples but phenol ruddy and acetate buffer sum alterations to detect that.0.60 milliliter ethanoate buffer and 0.40 milliliter phenol ruddy solution was put into 20g BSA.This was 5 th sample in this experiment.0.40ml acteate buffer and 0.60ml phenol ruddy were put into 20g BSA.This was 6 th sample in the experiment.In this experiment, our stationary stage was sephadex and nomadic stage was acetate buffer.Before samples were put into column, the column was washed that means fixed with ethanoate buffer.The PH of ethanoate buffer is 4.5 that is nomadic phase.According the gel filtration rule, large molecules can be quicker than little ones.Because there is less obstruction during motion compared with little ones.Therefore we can seperate by assisting molecular weight difference.In this experiment, large molecules were BSA and phenol that was ligand.We observed colour alterations related to phenol ruddy behavior in different environment.In acidic conditions, phenol ruddy is xanthous and at 6.8-8.2 the colour turns into purple.The foremost cuvvette samples were lighter due to complex and so darker due to merely phenol ruddy.

Consequence
In this experiment, 6 sample ‘s optical density were measured. 5th and 6th were measured by our group.We took sample from gel filtration and placed into cuvvettes.And so added NaOH and d H2O.Cuvvettes were placed into spectrophotometer and gained results.These consequences gave us two graphs that is shown in below.
figure sample 5
figure sample 6
At the two graphs, distinguishable extremum was observed.It agencies that is the point large molecules ended up so merely little molecules phenol ruddy observed.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
In this experiment, we used gel filtration chromotography to observe interaction between ligand and merely phenol red.First of all, we washed column with acetate buffer before put samples into column.The ground of that is to set column PH.Acetate buffer PH 4.5 is our nomadic phase.It can impact protein connectivity with surface.And we used sephadex as a stationary phase.Because it adjusts pore size.Under these status, we put sample into cuvvette and measured at 520nm.The quicker 1s the large 1s, the lower one an little 1s also.First observation that are ligher 1s are large molecules.The large molecules are complex, ligand.Ligand is BSA and phenol red.The ground why is chosen albumen ‘s solubility and adhering site affinity are high.
