 Proteins are most stable & functional in their native environment (i.e. the cells & tissues in which they are found).  pH = 7.4  Osmolality = 0.3 – 0.4  Compartmentalized.  Reducing environment.  Many biochemical studies involve removal/purification of proteins from their cellular environments.  Overall concern is to keep isolated proteins in their most functional condition during handling and studies.  Proteins are most stable & functional in their native environment (i.e. the cells & tissues in which they are found).  pH = 7.4  Osmolality = 0.3 – 0.4  Compartmentalized.  Reducing environment.  Many biochemical studies involve removal/purification of proteins from their cellular environments.  Overall concern is to keep isolated proteins in their most functional condition during handling and studies. 3 3

Important Concerns When Studying & Handling Proteins:  Choice of tissue disruption method to release protein(s) of interest.  Protection of protein extracts & components from endogenous & exogenous factors (i.e. maintenance of protein integrity).  Concentration & purification of individual protein components.  Estimation of protein concentrations / amounts.  Diversity of protein structures & functions.
