Summary Introduction
To review:
The way through which affinity chromatography can be used to isolate a protein that is suspected to be steroid hormone-binding protein.
Introduction:
Steroid hormones are hydrophobic hormonesproduced by the cells of the endocrine glands, which are carried by the steroid hormone-binding protein to the target sites. On reaching the target sites, they are liberated from the carrier protein and diffuse through the plasma membrane. On entering the target cell, they bind to intracellular receptors.

- Despite the fact that many peptides have critical physiological functions(e.g., as hormones, neurotransmitters, antibacterial toxins), they are not considered to be ideal as drugs. The following questions illustrate some of the issues that limit the use of peptides as therapeutics.(a) Insulin is a peptide therapeutic used to manage Type 1 diabetes, whichaffects more than 20 million people worldwide according to the International Diabetes Federation. A significant limitation to the broad distribution and use of insulin to treat Type 1 diabetes is the fact that it must be administered by injection rather than orally. Why is insulin administered by injection and not orally?(b) Many of the D-amino acids found in nature have been discovered inbacterially produced peptides that have antibiotic properties. Bacteriasecrete these peptides into their environments to kill competitor bacteriaand thereby gain a selective advantage.
