-Casein by Gel FiltrationDivision of Biosciences, National Research Council, Ottawa, Canada
ABSTRACT
A procedure for the preparation of pure
-casein by Sephadex gel filtration is described. Unreduced casein is filtered through a 2.5- by 95-cm column of Sephadex G-150 equilibrated with 0.005 m triscitrate buffer, pH 8.6, containing 6 M urea.
-Casein is excluded from the gel and emerges as a sharp peak at the void volume; all other caseins are retarded by the gel. The method is particularly suitable for preparing pure
-casein in good yield from small quantities of whole casein, but larger amounts of
-casein are readily prepared. The method is also suitable for the purification of
-casein-rich preparations.
