Abstract
The retention and the resolution of β-lactoglobulin A and B (LgA, LgB) were investigated with various ion-exchange chromatography media. The number of sites involved in the retention (adsorption) decreased as the mobile phase pH approached the isoelectric points pI (=5.1–5.2). However, even at pH 5.2 both LgA and LgB were retained on anion- and cation-exchange chromatography columns. The separation (resolution) of LgA and LgB became better when the pH approached the pI in anion-exchange chromatography columns where the number of adsorption site values are small (ca. 2–3). The two proteins were not separated on cation-exchange chromatography columns. Factors affecting the resolution and the retention near the pI were discussed.
