Question
Mixtures of amino acids can be analyzed by first separating the mixture into its components through
ion-exchange chromatography.
Amino acids placed on a cation-exchange resin containing sulfonate (-SO3) groups flow down the column at different rates
because of two factors that influence their movement: (1) ionic attraction between the sulfonate residues on the column and
positively charged functional groups on the amino acids, and (2) aggregation of nonpolar amino acid side chains with the
hydrophobic backbone of the polystyrene resin.
Note that the ionic attraction is more important than hydrophobicity for this column media.
For each pair of amino acids, identify which will be eluted first from a cation-exchange column using a pH 7.0 buffer.

arginine and methionine
