Abstract

Chromatofocusing, a chromatographic technique whereby proteins are selectively eluted from an ion-exchange support according to their p I values, has been adapted to high-performance liquid chromatography. It was found that chromatofocusing can detect heterogeneity in protein preparations not demonstrated by reverse-phase or size exclusion chromatography and that the resolution of chromatofocusing is comparable to ion-exchange chromatography. Although chromatofocusing may not resolve proteins as well as isoelectric focusing, it has advantages over this technique in both speed and capacity. The usefulness of chromatofocusing as an additional technique in the analysis and preparation of proteins is discussed. The rapid separation technique described here is able to resolve protein mixtures in the chromatofocusing mode in approximately 30 min.
