This figure template "Protein Purification by Size-Exclusion Chromatography" is assembled using dynamic BioRender assets (icons, lines, shapes and/or text) and is fully editable. To customize your own personalized figure using this template as a starting point, click "Use Template". Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) is a technique used to purify proteins based on size. Larger proteins are excluded from entering the pores and elute before smaller proteins, which enter the pores and elute later. This method is useful for removing contaminants and separating a protein of interest from similar proteins. [Template description adapted from GPT3.5, 2023]
