Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) of commercial broiler (CB) and crossbred village chicken (AK) was purified using Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography (FPLC). The fraction collected was then confirmed as VLDL using 4% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The particle size of VLDL is 46.8${\pm}$8.6 nm. The VLDL fraction was then subfractionated and the apolipoprotein (apo) profile was studied by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDSPAGE). The CB and AK have almost similar types of apo in both subfractions 1 and 2. The AK showed the presence of apoAI, AIV, D and E whereas the CB had apo AIV, D, E and H. The apo AIV and apo E were present in both subfractions of AK and CB.

IgY (Immunoglobulin Yolk) in egg yolk corresponds to IgG (Immunoglobulin G) in animal serum and plays an important role as immunological proteins in intestines. Carrageenan and Arabic gum were used as pretreatment agents to purify IgY from fresh egg yolk. DEAE (Diethylaminoethyl) Sepharose column in FPLC (Fast Protein Liquid chromatography) was an ion exchange tool to remove contaminants as well as to elute IgY from the column. GF HPLC (Gel Filtration High Performance Liquid Chromatography) enables to measure the molecular weights of IgY and to identify the purified IgY by comparing the molecular weight of standard IgY with the purified one. IgY is a heterogeneous group of different molecular weight and ionic properties, which was investigated with various IE HPLC (Ion Exchange High Performance Liquid Chromatography) columns such as AX, CX and SCX. Three peaks of IgY were separated in the AX column under the conditions of 0.5 M NaCl and pH=8. The SCX column also gave the three peaks of IgY at 0.5 M NaCl and pH=5.

To isolate a calcium-binding peptide from chlorella protein hydrolysates, chlorella protein was extracted and hydrolyzed using Flavourzyme, a commercial protease. The degree of hydrolysis and calcium-binding capacity were determined using trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid and orthophenanthroline methods, respectively. The enzymatic hydrolysis of chlorella protein for 6 hr was sufficient for the preparation of chlorella protein hydrolysates. The hydrolysates of chlorella protein were then ultra-filtered under 5 kDa as molecular weight. The membrane-filtered solution was fractionated using ion exchange, reverse phase, normal phase chromatography, and fast protein liquid chromatography to identify a calcium-binding peptide. The purified calcium-binding peptide had a calcium binding activity of 0.166 mM and was determined to be 700.48 Da as molecular weight, and partially identified as a peptide containing Asn-Ser-Gly-Cys based on liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrum.

In order to investigate the most efficient and rapid method for the purification of enterotoxin A from Staphylococcus aureus M 7/1, various methods such as ion-exchange chromatography on Amberlite, and CM-cellulose. gel filtration on Sephadex G-50, 75, 100 and Sephacryl, and fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) were applied and compared in terms of purity and speed. Although ion-exchange chromatography on Amberlite resin was good enough to remove other materials in culture medium from enterotoxin, and convenient, and fast method, the purity of this method was less than 70%. However. carboxymethyl ion-exchange column showed to be better purity than that of Amberlite method. The yields of these two methods were about 70% and 75%, respectively. When gel filtration methods on Sephadex G-50, 75, 100 and Sephacryl were applied, the purity was about 90%. Fast protein liquid chromatography was found to be the most efficient method in terms of purity (97%) and speed. The combined method, gel filtration after CM-cellulose column (stepwise elution) treatment can be also used as a efficient method particularly for the purification of large volume of sample.

Nonregulatory trehalase has been purified from mycelia of Rhztoctonia solani. a pathogen of rice sheath blight. Purification procedures involved sonification, gel filtration and fast protein liquid chromatography. Purity was confirmed by isoelectric focusing with silver staining. The purified trehalase was estimated to have a molecular weight of 54,000 and pI point of 5.1. Maximal activity was observed at pH 5.4 and temperature $45^{\circ}C$. The purified trehalase exhibited on apparent Km for trehalose of 3.11 mM and a Vmax of 105.3 $\mu mol min^{-1}\times mg^{-1}$. Validamycin, a commercial antibiotics of rice sheath blight, was a non-competitive inhibitor of Rhzzoctoniu solani trehalase.

Although 2D-PAGE has been widely used as the primary method for protein separation, difficulties in displaying proteins with an extreme values of isoelectric paint (pI), molecular size and hydrophobicity limit the technique. In addition, time consuming steps involving protein transfer and extraction from the gel-pieces can result in sample loss. Here, we describe a novel protein separation technique with capillary size-exclusion chromatography (CSEC) for rapid protein identification from human plasma. The method includes protein fractionation along with molecular size followed by in-solution tryptic digestion and peptide analysis through reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) coupled to nanoflow electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). Tryptic peptides are applied an a $100\;{\mu}m\;i.d.{\times}10mm$ length pre-column and then separated on a $75\;{\mu}m{\times}200mm$ analytical column at -100 nL/min flaw rate. Proteins were identified over the wide ranges of pI (3.7-12.3) when this technique was applied to the analysis of $1-2\;{\mu}L$ of human plasma. This gel-free system provides fast fractionation and may be considered a complementary technique to SDS-PAGE in proteomics.

A new method developed for simultaneous purification of enterotoxin A and C from Staphylococcus aureus strain L 350/1 consisted of chromatography on carboxymethyl (CM)-cellulose using a buffer of variable pH, gel filtration on Ultro gel, and fast protein liquid chromatography(FPLC) using a buffer of variable pH. The enterotoxin A and C were purified by three steps: batchwise adsorption from culture supernatant on Amberlite CG-50; chromatography on CM-cellulose using a buffer of constant pH and molarity; and gel filtration on Sephadex G-75. The purified enterotoxin appeared homogeneous by gel diffusion and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Upon treatment with CM-cellulose using a elution of variable pH, enterotoxin A and C were so close that they were not separated completely. After elution from gels, the enterotoxins appeared as a single peak at the same position. Gel filtration gave a reaction of complete identity to enterotoxin A and C in Ouchterlony immunodiffusion. In FPLC using a CM-cellulose, enterotoxin A and C were simultaneously separated at pH 8.6 and 6.8. When each fraction was performed to gel immunodiffusion, at peak of enterotoxin A and C were not detected each other. In a method of elution by pH-gradient was to be more efficient as a simultaneous separation method in terms of speed, yields and simplicity. The purified toxin A and C were identical to type A and C reference enterotoxin on both disc electrophoresis and Ouchterlony gel diffusion.

A scavenger of superoxide anion radical which causes oxygen toxicity was isolated from Capsella bursa-pastoris, and its physicochemical properties were investigated. The scavenger was isolated and purified by solvent fractionation and liquid column chromatographies (Amberlite XAD-2, Sephadex LH-20, Bio gel P-2, ODS (silica gel with 100% octadecyl silanization)). An active compound of 0.25 g was finally isolated by Fast Protein Liquid chromatography (FPLC) from 100 g ethanol extract of Capsella bursa-pastoris. A 50% decrease of superoxide anion radical was obtained with the scavenger compound of 0.58 g. The compound was assumed to be a phenolic glycoside from its physicochemical properties.
