Overview

Protein extraction is the laboratory process of releasing and isolating proteins from biological samples such as cells, tissues, blood, or microorganisms so that they can be studied or used. Because proteins are held within cells and bound up with other cellular components, extraction typically begins with disrupting the sample, by mechanical, chemical, or enzymatic means, to break open cells and membranes, followed by steps to solubilize the proteins and separate them from contaminants such as nucleic acids, lipids, and debris. The choice of buffers, detergents, and conditions is tailored to preserve the proteins of interest and, where needed, maintain their structure and activity. Extracted proteins serve as the starting material for a wide range of applications, including purification, structural and functional analysis, enzyme studies, and the development of protein-based products and therapeutics. As a topic within chemistry and the chemical analysis of biological materials, protein extraction underpins much of biochemistry, proteomics, and analytical and pharmaceutical research. This page situates protein extraction within the journal's broader coverage of new developments in chemistry and analytical methods, and it gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to the isolation, separation, and analysis of proteins and other compounds from biological samples.
