Yоu hаve jоined the Wee lаb аs an undergraduate student. This lab's expertise is in prоtein engineering. You are tasked with purifying proteins for the research group. You are given four proteins to purify. 1) One protein is a DNA polymerase (which binds negatively charged DNA) from a thermophilic organism (Pseudomonas furiosis). Your colleague has cloned this gene in the bacteria E. coli. Because the enzyme's activity is negatively impacted by the addition of affinity tags, no tag was added to the gene recombinantly expressed. 2) The second protein is a 56 kDa globular protein. The protein contains a polyhistidine tag at its N-terminus. The protein was recombinantly expressed in E. coli. Your colleague tells you that there is a 25 kDa host E. coli protein with similar isoelectric point that also binds to the Nickel NTA resin. 3) The third protein is an antibody produced from human embryonic kidney cells. This antibody tends to multimerize (>450 kDa) upon purification, but you are only interested in the 150 kDa product. 4) The fourth protein is a globular protein fused to a maltose binding protein. This fusion protein has an isoelectric point of 5.5, meaning that at pH 8.0, it is mostly negatively charged. You are assigned one protein to purify to a high degree of purify (>95%). Generally, a protein reaches up to 85% purity after the first step of purification. You are challenged to purify your assigned protein in no more than two steps. In your lab, you have access to the following chromatography techniques and columns. Cation and anion exchange chromatography Protein A chromatography Immobilized metal affinity chromatography Amylose resin Sepharose B resin Hydrophobic interaction chromatography Size exclusion chromatography Heat treatment Ammonium sulfate precipitation Your response to this question may take the following format. For step 1, I will choose method X. Method X separates between based on property A. (If you used a chromatography column, you must specify how you will operate the column to retrieve (elute) your protein) For step 2, I will choose method Y Method Y separates proteins based on property B (If you used a chromatography column, you must specify how you will operate the column to retrieve (elute) your protein) If you are absolutely amazing at your job, you can pick another protein to purify for 5 extra points.

This questiоn is wоrth 10 pоints. You will submit your work in а sepаrаte link after you submit the Honorlock proctored portion. Please do not use your camera/phone to take a picture of your work during the proctored session. You can complete this after submitting the Honorlock portion. Free Response (10 pts):Use the limit definition of derivative to algebraically determine for To receive credit, your answer should: Be submitted in the link provided after you submit the Honorlock proctored portion of this test Show that you know the definition of the derivative Use the limit operator correctly throughout Show at least FIVE steps Equal signs are in the right place Clearly indicate your final answer
