The isoelectric point of eIF4a is 5.02. Students are given a sample of cell lysate containing eIF4A at pH 7.4. They are also provided with two buffers of pH 7.4 to use for ion exchange chromatography. One buffer has a very high salt concentration (1 M), the other has a low salt concentration (0.1 M). Mariela decides to use an anion exchange column, while Ashok chooses a cation exchange column. Who made the better decision? Provide a detailed explanation of why one student will end up with a purer sample of eIF4A. Which buffer will you use while washing away impurities (high or low salt), and which would you use to remove eIF4A from the column? Explain your choice.
