Question

One index used in this technique, which normalizes n-alkanes to multiples of 100, is named for Ervin Kováts. One form of this technique isolates proteins with his-tags by applying imidazole washes. Eddy diffusion and resistance to mass transfer terms calculate the height of a theoretical plate in this technique by the van Deemter equation. The time between injection and the maximum of a peak in this technique is the (-5[1])retention time, which measures how fast (10[1])elution occurs. Alumina and silica gel are often used in this technique’s “thin-layer” form as a stationary phase. (10[2])For 10 points, (10[1])name this technique whose “paper” type was originally used to separate (10[1])pigments. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])

ANSWER: chromatography [accept gas chromatography or immobilized metal affinity chromatography or thin-layer chromatography; prompt on GC or IMAC or TLC]
