A fundamental
concept in
biochemistry is
that the structure
of a given
biomolecule is
directly related to
its function.
Myoglobin;
a relatively small
protein that functions
primarily in oxygen
binding and storage in
animal tissues.

5.7 Tools of Biochemistry
Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2013 Pearson Education Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
Recombinant Protein Expression (1 of 2)
Protein expression vector
• Expression vectors
are small, circular
DNA molecules and
contain an origin of
replication which
allows multiple
copies to be
produced in the cell
Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2013 Pearson Education Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
Recombinant Protein Expression (2 of 2)
Protein expression vector
• The selection marker is
typically an antibiotic
resistance gene, and
allows only the
organisms harboring
the plasmid which
expresses the protein
of interest to grow in
the presence of
antibiotic
Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2013 Pearson Education Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
Protein Expression Vector (1 of 2)
Producing His-tagged proteins
• 6–10 histidine codons (the
“His-tag”) are cloned
upstream or downstream of
the target gene
• The His-tag cause the
protein to adhere to a
column containing
immobilized dicationic
metals such as Zn2+ or Ni2+
(i.e., immobilized metal
affinity chromatography or
IMAC)
Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2013 Pearson Education Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
Protein Expression Vector (2 of 2)
Producing His-tagged proteins
• The His-tagged target
protein can be
selectively eluted with an
imidazole buffer
– imidazole has a
higher affinity to the
“His-tag” than the
immobilized
dicationic metals

Column Chromatography

Ion Exchange Chromatography (1 of 2)
Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2013 Pearson Education Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
Ion Exchange Chromatography (2 of 2)
Ion exchange resins
• DEAE (diethylaminoethyl) cellulose and CM
(carboxymethyl) cellulose are widely used resins
• At a pH above the isoelectric point a protein carries a
negative charge and will bind to DEAE-cellulose
• Protein can be selectively eluted by applying a gradient of
pH or increasing ionic strength

Identification of a Protein of Interest Using
Proteomics Methods (1 of 3)
• A totalion current (TIC) chromatogram for a complex
mixture of peptides separated by HPLC (High-performance
liquid chromatography)
Copyright © 2019, 2016, 2013 Pearson Education Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
Identification of a Protein of Interest Using
Proteomics Methods (2 of 3)
• Fragmentation of the ions selected by a TIC chromatogram
gives a set of ions that can be further separated by mass-
to-charge ratio in the mass spectrometer

Identification of a Protein of Interest Using
Proteomics Methods (3 of 3)
• MS-MS spectrum for one of the parent ions (and
subsequent analysis) after mass spectrometric separation
of an HPLC ion peak
