Best Answer

pI is the isoelectric point. This is a pH value where a protein has no net charge. NOTE: Proteins may have multiple pI's.

If a protein with pi of 6 is purified on a DEAE column is it better to use pH 4ph 6 of pH 8 why?

DEAE columns contain a positively charged resin to which negatively charged molecules and proteins will bind. In protein purification, one will generally have the target protein bind the column so the non-target proteins will "flow through" after which the bound proteins are "washed off" the column by changing either the pH or salt concentration. Since the pI of the protein is 6.0, at pH=6.0, the protein has a net charge of zero and will not bind the column, so this pH is not suggested. When the pH is greater than the pI, the protein has a positive charge, so at pH=8.0 the protein will be repulsed by the positively charged resin and will not bind, so pH=8.0 is also not recommended. When the pH is less than the pI, the protein carries a negative charge and will bind the DEAE column and can thus be purified, so the pH=4.0 condition will be productive toward protein purification for this protein.


How does change in pH in elution buffer helps elute protein from ion exchange column?

Binding to a cation or anion exchange column requires a binding buffer that is below or above the pI of the protein (respectively) and therefore an appropriate protein ionization state for binding. In a practical sense, this means that if the pI of your protein is 7.0, you would need to below this (6.5 or below) in order to bind to a cation exchange column. Changing the pH of the elution buffer will change the ionization state of the protein and therefore exchange cations.

What is pi plus pi plus pi?

(pi + pi + pi) = 3 pi = roughly 9.4248 (rounded) Well, if you use the common shortened version of pi which is 3.14 and add that 3 times, you get 9.42.
