AMINO ACIDS IN PLANTS Amino acids are present in plant and form protein.
Plants synthesize amino acids from the carbon and oxygen that is obtained from
air and hydrogen from water in the soil. Amino acids play important role to
increase yield and overall quality of crops. Amino acids are absorbed through
stomas in plants. It has been observed that amino acids influence the
physiological activities of the plant. Plant mutants for amino acid transporter
genes are now being used to study the physiological functions of many of the
cloned genes (Wolf et al., 1998).
Chromatography is an important biophysical technique that enables the
separation, identification, and purification of the components of a mixture for
qualitative and quantitative analysis. Proteins can be purified based on
characteristics such as size and shape, total charge, hydrophobic groups present
on the surface, and binding capacity with the stationary phase. Four separation
techniques based on molecular characteristics and interaction type use
mechanisms of ion exchange, surface adsorption, partition, and size exclusion.
Other chromatography techniques are based on the stationary bed, including
column, thin layer, and paper chromatography. Column chromatography is one
of the most common methods of protein purification.
The type of interaction between stationary phase, mobile phase, and substances
contained in the mixture is the basic component effective on separation of
molecules from each other. Chromatography methods based on partition are very
effective on separation, and identification of small molecules as amino acids,
carbohydrates, and fatty acids. However, affinity chromatographies (ie. ion-
exchange chromatography) are more effective in the separation of
macromolecules as nucleic acids, and proteins. Paper chromatography is used in
the separation of proteins, and in studies related to protein synthesis; gas-liquid
chromatography is utilized in the separation of alcohol, esther, lipid, and amino
groups, and observation of enzymatic interactions, while molecular-sieve
chromatography is employed especially for the determination of molecular
weights of proteins. Agarose-gel chromatography is used for the purification of
RNA, DNA particles, and viruses [4].
Stationary phase in chromatography, is a solid phase or a liquid phase coated on
the surface of a solid phase. Mobile phase flowing over the stationary phase is a
gaseous or liquid phase. If mobile phase is liquid it is termed as liquid
chromatography (LC), and if it is gas then it is called gas chromatography (GC).
Gas chromatography is applied for gases, and mixtures of volatile liquids, and
solid material. Liquid chromatography is used especially for thermal unstable, and
non-volatile samples [5].
The purpose of applying chromatography which is used as a method of
quantitative analysis apart from its separation, is to achive a satisfactory
separation within a suitable timeinterval. Various chromatography methods have
been developed to that end. Some of them include column chromatography, thin-
layer chromatography (TLC), paper chromatography, gas chromatography, ion
exchange chromatography, gel permeation chromatography, high-pressure liquid
chromatography, and affinity chromatography [6].

Column chromatography
Since proteins have difference characteristic features as size, shape, net charge,
stationary phase used, and binding capacity, each one of these characteristic
components can be purified using chromatographic methods. Among these
methods, most frequently column chromatography is applied. This technique is
used for the purification of biomolecules. On a column (stationary phase) firstly
the sample to be separated, then wash buffer (mobile phase) are applied (Figure
1). Their flow through inside column material placed on a fiberglass support is
ensured. The samples are accumulated at the bottom of the device in a tme-, and
volume-dependent manner [7].
Affinity chromatography
This chromatography technique is used for the purification of enzymes, hormones,
antibodies, nucleic acids, and specific proteins [13]. A ligand which can make a
complex with specific protein (dextran, polyacrylamide, cellulose etc) binds the
filling material of the column. The specific protein which makes a complex with
the ligand is attached to the solid support (matrix), and retained in the column,
while free proteins leave the column. Then the bound protein leaves the column
by means of changing its ionic strength through alteration of pH or addition of a
salt solution (Figure 4) [14].
Paper chromatography
In paper chromatography support material consists of a layer of cellulose highly
saturated with water. In this method a thick filter paper comprised the support,
and water drops settled in its pores made up the stationary “liquid phase.” Mobile
phase consists of an appropriate fluid placed in a developing tank. Paper
chromatography is a “liquid-liquid” chromatography [15].
Thin-layer chromatography
Thin-layer chromatography is a “solid-liquid adsorption” chromatography. In this
method stationary phase is a solid adsorbent substance coated on glass plates. As
adsorbent material all solid substances used. in column chromatography (alumina,
silica gel, cellulose) can be utilized. In this method, the mobile phase travels
upward through the stationary phase The solvent travels up the thin plate soaked
with the solvent by means of capillary action. During this procedure, it also drives
the mixture priorly dropped on the lower parts of the plate with a pipette upwards
with different flow rates. Thus the separation of analytes is achieved. This upward
travelling rate depends on the polarity of the material, solid phase, and of the
solvent [16].
In cases where molecules of the sample are colorless, florescence, radioactivity or
a specific chemical substance can be used to produce a visible coloured reactive
product so as to identify their positions on the chromatogram. Formation of a
visible colour can be observed under room light or UV light. The position of each
molecule in the mixture can be measured by calculating the ratio between the the
distances travelled by the molecule and the solvent. This measurement value is
called relative mobility, and expressed with a symbol Rf. Rf. value is used for
qualitative description of the molecules [17].
Gas chromatography
In this method stationary phase is a column which is placed in the device, and
contains a liquid stationary phase which is adsorbed onto the surface of an inert
solid. Gas chromatography is a “gas-liquid” chromatography. Its carrier phase
consists of gases as He or N2. Mobile phase which is an inert gas is passed through
a column under high pressure. The sample to be analyzed is vaporized, and enters
into a gaseous mobile phase phase. The components contained in the sample are
dispersed between mobile phase, and stationary phase on the solid support. Gas
chromatography is a simple, multifaceted, highly sensitive, and rapidly applied
technique for the extremely excellent separation of very minute molecules. It is
used in the separation of very little amounts of analytes [18].
Pseudoaffinity chromatography
Some compounds as anthraquinone dyes, and azo-dyes can be used as ligands
because of their affinity especially for dehydrogenases, kinases, transferases, and
reductases The mostly known type of this kind of chromatography is immobilized
metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) [24].
