In the fоllоwing prоcedure, the protein of interest, CA, is initiаlly concentrаted by precipitаtion from a 30% saturated ammonium sulfate solution. If you were interested in using ammonium sulfate precipitation to isolate a highly charged peptide, would you expect the peptide to precipitate from a low or high concentration ammonium sulfate in solution? Briefly justify your answer. Procedure from the reference cited below: "Briefly, cells expressing the wild-type CA protein were lysedthrough a microfluidizer. Soluble CA protein in the clarifiedlysate was concentrated by precipitation from 30% saturatedammonium sulfate. CA protein was redissolved in 50 mM Tris(pH 8.0) and functionally purified by the addition of sodiumchloride to a final concentration of 2.5 M. After two rounds offunctional purification, the wild-type CA protein wasresuspended in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.5)and dialyzed against the same buffer. The dialyzed sample wasfurther purified by a subtractive anion exchange chromatography step using a Q-HP HiTrap column (catalog no. 17-1154-01, GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ). Purification of 2Mut and 4Mut CA mutants followed thesame protocol that was used for wild-type CA except that200 mM β-mercaptoethanol was included in all buffersthroughout the process. The functionally purified capsidmutant proteins were redissolved in 50 mM Tris (pH 7.5) and40 mM β-mercaptoethanol prior to dialysis in the same buffer,and a subsequent purification with subtractive anion exchangechromatography was performed."
