Scanning molecular sieve chromatography of interacting protein systems. III. Effect of kinetic parameters on the large zone boundary profiles for local equilibration between mobile and stationary phases.
Large zone reaction boundary profiles for molecular sieve chromatography as affected by kinetic parameters have been simulated for local equilibration between the mobile and stationary phases. Our studies of monomer-dimer and monomer-tetramer systems indicate that in a slowly equilibrating system, the kinetic controls operating between the mobile and stationary phases contribute most significantly to the overall boundary profile. In a rapidly equilibrating system, however, the kinetic parameters k(ij) and k(ji) operating in the mobile phase are the principal determinants of the reaction boundary, while the kinetic effects of k(ii) and k-(ii) between the mobile and stationary phases are minimal.
