Chromatography is an important biophysical technique that enables the separation, identification, and purification of the components of a mixture for qualitative and quantitative analysis. It is a separation technique in which a mobile phase carrying a mixture is caused to move in contact with a selectively absorbent stationary phase. Affinity chromatography is a type of liquid chromatography for the separation, purification or specific analysis of sample components. It utilizes the reversible biological interaction or molecular recognition called affinity which refers to the attracting forced exerted in different degrees between atoms which cause them to remain in combination. The stationary phase consists of a support medium, on which the substrate (ligand) is bound covalently, in such a way that the reactive groups that are essential for binding of the target molecule are exposed. As the crude mixture of the substances is passed through the chromatography column, substances with binding site for the immobilized substrate bind to the stationary phase, while all other substances is eluted in the void volume of the column. Once the other substances are eluted, the bound target molecules can be eluted by methods such as including a competing ligand in the mobile phase or changing the pH, ionic strength or polarity conditions.
