Abstract

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is extremely useful for the study of proteins and the characterization of their posttranslational modifications. Here we describe a method that utilizes cationexchange HPLC to separate multiply acetylated histone H3 species on the basis of their charge and hydrophilicity. This high-resolution method allows for the separation of histone H3 species that differ by as few as one acetyl group, and is compatible with subsequent analysis by a variety of techniques, including mass spectrometry and western blotting.
