Calpain 1 is a cysteine-protease existing as a heterodimer made up of a large and small subunit. The large subunit is 714 residues long (mass 81.9 kDa) with a pI of 5.49. The small subunit is 268 residues long (mass 28.3 kDa) with a pI of 5.05. Calpain 1 is inhibited by calpastatin, an intrinsically disordered protein of 708 residues (mass 76.5 kDa) with a pI of 4.97. Suggest a purification method that would allow you to separate calpain 1 from calpastatin. Describe conditions and explain why the chosen method would work and give reasons why it wouldn’t work.
