The Wyatt-MALLS-DLS system is not designed to be used as a general purification step and is perhaps best described as an analytical tool to assess molecular weight, and Rh of macromolecules.Note: lower-molecular weight species (less than 30 kDa) require higher injection concentrations (up to 20 mg/ml) and injection volumes. Protein concentrations should be in the range of 5-15 mg/ml and there should be 50-100 μl of sample.Proteins in four buffers would take 10-12 hrs + set up time to complete.Įquilibration and set up, a typical online SAXS-MALLS-DLS experiment takes The addition of 1 mM DTT), the column has to be re-equilibrated in the newīuffer for at least an hour prior to the next SEC-SAXS run. Whenever a buffer is changed (even minimally, e.g., A filter device and ddH 2O isĪvailable on site at P12. Overnight equilibration is encouraged.īuffer needs to be made to complete all online analyses and this buffer shouldīe derived from a single stock. (depending on the state of the column and whether the column arrives in 20%Įthanol, water, or already in a buffer). Takes at least 1-3 hrs to equilibrate columns prior to the online analysis Wyatt-MALLS-DLS system is run in parallel and directly with the SAXS Where R g is the radius of gyration obtained from SAXS and R h the hydrodynamic radius obtained from dynamic light scattering (DLS). To characterize the oligomeric states of individual proteins, analyse theįormation/dissociation of complexes and obtain the shape factor, R g/ R h, It is, therefore, possible to use this system Multi-angle laser light scattering, MALLS) and hydrodynamic radius (fromĭynamic light scattering, DLS). Multi-detector SEC system which allows the determination of the eluateĬoncentration (using refractive index RI) as well as the molecular weight (from We, therefore, offer the possibility to use a SAXS data is greatly facilitated if the sample is characterized biophysicallyīy complementary techniques. Step immediately prior to the SAXS measurements. Of mixtures may be improved by performing a size exclusion chromatography (SEC) Online analytical biophysical characterization device
