The core task of this step is to select an appropriate target protein and biological sample source, and design a complete protein purification strategy. It requires comprehensive consideration of protein properties (MW, pI, solubility, stability), sample availability, and purification difficulty.

• Choose target protein from lysozyme, catalase, amylase, alkaline phosphatase, etc.; determine biological source (egg white, pig liver, soybean sprouts); review literature for properties and purification methods
• Design purification workflow: crude extraction (homogenization, salting out) → partial purification (dialysis, ultrafiltration) → fine purification (ion exchange/affinity/gel filtration) → purity assessment
• List reagents (ammonium sulfate, Tris-HCl buffer, NaCl, chromatography media), equipment (high-speed refrigerated centrifuge, chromatography system, UV detector, electrophoresis unit), and safety precautions

The core task of this step is to extract total protein from biological material and use ammonium sulfate fractionation to preliminarily enrich the target protein. Protein extraction requires low temperature to prevent denaturation, and salting out needs precise saturation control.

• Prepare tissue homogenate: weigh fresh biological material, add pre-chilled extraction buffer (with PMSF protease inhibitor), homogenize on ice bath, filter through 4 layers of gauze, collect filtrate
• Ammonium sulfate fractionation: measure protein concentration; slowly add ammonium sulfate to 30% saturation; stir 30 min; centrifuge at 10,000 rpm for 20 min; keep supernatant; continue to 60% saturation; collect precipitate
• Precipitate dissolution and dialysis: dissolve precipitate in Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4); transfer to dialysis bag; dialyze against 20x volume buffer at 4°C for 24h with 3 buffer changes

The core task of this step is to perform fine purification of the target protein using chromatography and monitor purification efficiency through protein concentration and enzyme activity assays at each step.

• Column packing and equilibration: pack ion exchange column (e.g., DEAE-Sepharose) or affinity column; equilibrate with starting buffer for at least 5 column volumes; verify stable baseline
• Sample loading and elution: load dialyzed sample; elute with linear salt gradient (0-1M NaCl); monitor protein peaks at 280nm with UV detector; collect eluted fractions
• Activity assay and pooling: measure enzyme activity (colorimetric or spectrophotometric) and protein concentration for each tube; calculate specific activity and purification fold; pool high-activity fractions

The core task of this step is to assess the purity of the purified protein and determine its enzyme kinetic parameters (Km, Vmax, optimal pH, optimal temperature). SDS-PAGE is the gold standard for evaluating protein purity.

• SDS-PAGE electrophoresis: prepare separating gel (12%) and stacking gel (5%); load sample along with molecular weight marker; stain with Coomassie Blue R-250; capture image; estimate purity and subunit MW
• Enzyme kinetic parameter determination: prepare substrate solutions at different concentrations (6-8 points covering 0.2-5x Km range); measure initial rates under optimal conditions; calculate Km and Vmax using Lineweaver-Burk plot
• Enzyme properties study: measure activity at different pH (pH 5-9) and temperatures (20-60°C); determine optimal pH and temperature; study inhibitor effects on enzyme activity

The core task of this step is to write a comprehensive biochemistry laboratory report presenting the protein purification process, purity assessment results, and enzyme characterization.

• Write lab report following academic standards: abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, conclusion, references; minimum 3500 words
• Create complete purification flow chart and result figures: purification summary table, chromatography elution profiles, SDS-PAGE gel, enzyme kinetic curves, pH/temperature dependence curves
• Discuss purification strategy in depth: evaluate effectiveness of each step, analyze factors affecting purity and recovery, compare advantages/disadvantages of methods, propose improvements

The core task of this step is to select an appropriate target protein and biological sample source, and design a complete protein purification strategy. It requires comprehensive consideration of protein properties (molecular weight, pI, solubility, stability), sample availability, and purification difficulty. The choice of purification strategy (combination of affinity, ion exchange, gel filtration, etc.) directly determines final purity and yield.

• Choose target protein from lysozyme, catalase, amylase, alkaline phosphatase, etc.; determine biological source (egg white, pig liver, soybean sprouts, etc.); review literature for protein properties and purification methods
• Design purification workflow: crude extraction (homogenization, salting out) → partial purification (dialysis, ultrafiltration) → fine purification (ion exchange/affinity/gel filtration chromatography) → purity assessment; select appropriate buffer systems for each step
• List experimental reagents (ammonium sulfate, Tris-HCl buffer, NaCl, chromatography media, etc.), equipment (high-speed refrigerated centrifuge, chromatography system, UV detector, electrophoresis unit), and safety precautions

The core task of this step is to extract total protein from biological material and use ammonium sulfate fractionation to preliminarily enrich the target protein. Protein extraction requires low temperature to prevent denaturation, and salting out needs precise ammonium sulfate saturation control for fractional precipitation. This step is critical for obtaining crude enzyme extract and affects subsequent purification efficiency.

• Prepare tissue homogenate: weigh fresh biological material, add pre-chilled extraction buffer (with PMSF protease inhibitor), homogenize with tissue homogenizer on ice bath, filter through 4 layers of gauze, collect filtrate
• Ammonium sulfate fractionation: measure protein concentration of filtrate; slowly add ground ammonium sulfate to 30% saturation; stir for 30 min; centrifuge at 10,000 rpm for 20 min; keep supernatant; continue adding ammonium sulfate to 60% saturation; centrifuge and collect precipitate
• Precipitate dissolution and dialysis: dissolve precipitate in small volume of Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4); transfer to dialysis bag; dialyze against 20x volume buffer at 4°C for 24h with 3 buffer changes

The core task of this step is to perform fine purification of the target protein using chromatography and monitor purification efficiency through protein concentration and enzyme activity assays at each step. Chromatography requires precise flow rate control, elution gradient, and fraction collection. Activity tracking ensures target protein is not lost. Purification fold and recovery are key metrics.

• Column packing and equilibration: pack ion exchange column (e.g., DEAE-Sepharose) or affinity column; equilibrate with starting buffer for at least 5 column volumes; verify stable baseline
• Sample loading and elution: load dialyzed sample onto column; elute with linear salt gradient (0-1M NaCl); monitor protein peaks at 280nm with UV detector; collect eluted fractions in tubes
• Activity assay and pooling: measure enzyme activity (colorimetric or spectrophotometric) and protein concentration for each collected tube; calculate specific activity and purification fold; pool high-activity fractions

The core task of this step is to assess the purity of the purified protein and determine its enzyme kinetic parameters (Km, Vmax, optimal pH, optimal temperature). SDS-PAGE is the gold standard for evaluating protein purity. Enzyme kinetic assays require multiple substrate concentrations and precise reaction condition control. These parameters characterize catalytic properties and are fundamental for studying enzyme mechanisms.

• SDS-PAGE electrophoresis: prepare separating gel (12%) and stacking gel (5%); load purified sample along with molecular weight marker; stain with Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 after electrophoresis; capture image with gel documentation system; estimate purity and subunit molecular weight
• Enzyme kinetic parameter determination: prepare substrate solutions at different concentrations (6-8 points covering 0.2-5x Km range); measure initial reaction rates under optimal conditions; calculate Km and Vmax using Lineweaver-Burk double reciprocal plot
• Enzyme properties study: measure enzyme activity at different pH (pH 5-9) and temperatures (20-60°C); determine optimal pH and temperature; study inhibitor effects on enzyme activity

The core task of this step is to write a comprehensive biochemistry laboratory report presenting the protein purification process, purity assessment results, and enzyme characterization. The report should document operational parameters and results at each step in detail, clearly demonstrate purification effectiveness through data and figures, and summarize and evaluate the overall purification strategy.

• Write lab report following academic standards: abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, conclusion, references; minimum 3500 words
• Create complete purification flow chart and result figures: purification summary table for each step, chromatography elution profiles, SDS-PAGE gel, enzyme kinetic curves, pH/temperature dependence curves
• Discuss purification strategy in depth: evaluate effectiveness of each purification step, analyze factors affecting protein purity and recovery, compare advantages/disadvantages of different methods, propose improvements
