Purpose of purification

The purification is in itself seldom the final goal, but rather a necessary phase on the way to the final research goal to gain information about the biochemical mechanisms and structures of the biomolecules involved (Fig 1.1).

Fig 1.1. Purpose of purification.

The purification simply aims at obtaining the target molecule pure enough in the shortest possible time.

A structured way of developing a purification protocol is therefore the quickest and most reliable way to acceptable results.

When available well-designed standard purification protocols that render the target molecule suffiently pure will thus be the alternative of choice.
