Hi everyone Sorry for some non specific query!!!!! i am working with a protein that shows a dimer in the crystal structure but when i tried to figure out that with standard molecular markers in gel filteration (superdex-200, 24ml column) it turned out to be a monnomer. Native gel analysis after incubating the protein at 20 degree, 37 degree showed more dimer at 20 degree celcius as compared to 37. I tried similar strategy in gel filteration by incubating my protein at various temperature,where a lot of precipitation was observed at 37 degree celcius and after removing the precipitates i run the gel filteration that has 0.5 ml higher elution volume as compared to samples incubated at 20 degree celcius and 4 degree celcius.( Is this significant) Furthermore i have done some experiments in cold room (4 degree) where the elution volume is stuck at a point irrespective of the conditions (as Flow rate, concentration of protein etc) and that is higher than that of the room temperature by 1 ml. Standard moleculr weight markers also show higher elution volume in cold room in comparison to the room temperature by 1 ml. I will be highly obliged if someone suggest some literature or any otherway to do gel filtrtaion so that i can clearly resolve this issue. Also let me know if there is some literature available on effect of temperature on the elution volume of proteins.
