This document discusses various chromatography techniques including paper chromatography, thin layer chromatography, partition chromatography, adsorption chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, affinity chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography. The different techniques separate molecules based on properties like size, charge, and affinity. They have various applications in biochemistry like purifying proteins, antibodies, and separating biological compounds.
36. Affinity chromatography- Significance
By using antibodies, antigens can be easily separated.
Conversely, antibodies can be purified by passing through a column
containing the antigen.
Specific Antibody binds to a specific antigen attached to the stationary medium, the
remaining antibodies come out in earlier fractions. Biochemistry of Medics
