Abstract:
Hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions were predicted for Elapid neuro- and cardiotoxins. The contribution of these regions to the retention times of neuro- and cardiotoxins on hydrophobic-interaction HPLC was assessed from the known surface accessibilities of amino acid side-chains within these regions. Differences in retention times between neuro- and cardiotoxins on hydrophobic-interaction HPLC could be attributed to differences in hydrophobicity of regions 6-12 and 22-26 between these two types of toxins. Smaller differences in retention times between cardiotoxins were due to the variable hydrophobicities of regions 1-4 and 26-36.

SDS-PAGE
A variation of gel electrophoresis, termed polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is commonly used for separating proteins according to their molecular size by passing them through a polyacrylamide gel. Because of the varying charges associated with amino acid side chains, PAGE can be used to separate intact proteins...
