Figure 4 Optimum flow rate as a function <strong>of</strong> peptide molecular weight. Column, TSKgel<br />

G3000SW, 60cm 7.5mm; mobile phase, 0.15 M phosphate, pH7.4, þ1M sodium<br />

chloride, 20% methyl Cellosolve, <strong>and</strong> 1% SDS; detection, fluorescence, o-phthalaldehyde<br />

method (J Benson, P Hare. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 72:619, 1979); temperature, 228C;<br />

injection, 0.2nmol peptide.<br />

molecular weights that can be separated, <strong>and</strong> the available pore volume throughout<br />

the pore size distribution determines the quality <strong>of</strong> the separation. In general, the<br />

larger the volume <strong>of</strong> the pores per unit column volume, the better the resolution.<br />

As shown in Eq. (4), the pore volume Vp is equal to the empty column<br />

volume VC minus the sum <strong>of</strong> the interparticle or interstitial volume Vi <strong>and</strong> the<br />

volume <strong>of</strong> the solid particle matrix VS.<br />

Vp ¼ VC (Vi þ VS) (4)<br />

The pore volume per unit column volume can be maximized by decreasing the<br />

interparticle volume <strong>and</strong>/or by decreasing the volume <strong>of</strong> the solid matrix. For<br />
