A. What is the Isoelectric point pI of the peptide Gly-Glu-Ala-Lys-Val ?

B. A purified protein is in a Hepes buffer at pH 7 with 300 mM NaCl. A sample (2mL) of the protein solution is placed in a tube made of dialysis membrane and dialyzed against 1 L of the same Hepes buffer with no NaCl. Small molecules and ions (such as Na+, Cl-, and Hepes) can diffuse across the dialysis membrane, but the protein cannot.

1. Once the dialysis has come to equilibrium, what is the concentration of NaCl in the protein sample? Assume no volume changes occur in the sample during dialysis.

2. If the original 2 mL sample were dialyzed twice, successively, against 100 mL of the same Hepes buffer with 0 mM NaCl, what would be the final NaCl concentration in the sample?

Answer #1

The isoelectric point pI of the peptide Gly-Glu-Ala-Lys-Val is calculated as below,

At pH 7 = net charge on the peptide is zero and the pI = 6.925
