Chromatography INTRODUCTION IN THIS LAB, WE WILL BE EXPRESSING THE GREEN FLUORESCENT PROTEIN (GFP) IN BACTERIA AND PURIFYING IT USING COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHY. THE SPECIFIC TYPE OF CHROMATOGRAPHY WE WILL BE USING IS HYDROPHOBIC INTERACTION CHROMATOGRAPHY (HIC). THE FOLLOWING IS INFORMATION FROM BIO-RAD INC., THE SUPPLIER OF THE REAGENTS: GFP has several stretches of hydrophobic amino acids, which results in the total protein being very hydrophobic. When the supernatant, rich in GFP, is passed

Chromatography is commonly used to separate mixtures to determine different chemical components. The main types of chromatography include gas, thin layer, paper and column chromatography. Generally used most, paper has a stationery phase and a mobile phase in a chromatographical experiment. The stationery phase is the paper itself absorbing the solvent, while the mobile phase is the solute moving up the strip of paper. Solvents are solids, liquids or gasses that dissolve the solute, in this instance
