Term
Differential Centrifugation
Definition
Isolation of particular organelles in bulk amount.
Particles of different sizes travel toward the bottom of the centrifuge tube at different rates.
Term
Homogenization
Definition
Differential Centrifugation breaks open cells in isotonic buffered solutions by _____? This prevents the rupture of membrane. Helps organelles retain high levels of normal activity.
Term
Protein Methodology: Preperative
Definition
Isolation and purification of particular molecule by a process of removal of other molecules (contaminants) it implies the use of material beyond its isolation.
Term
Protein Methodology: Analytical
Definition
allows an estimate of the molecular diversity present in the preparation.
Term
Purification Process
Definition
Contaminants removed and desired protein retained.
Measured in an increase in specific activity.
Term
Specific Activity
Definition
ration of amount of specific protein/total protein
