The term chromatography refers to different methods of molecular separation between a mobile phase and a stationary phase based on various physio-chemical properties. There are many types of chromatography that are used as analytical tools in environmental science, forensics, metallurgy, biology, etc. Some common examples are thin layer chromatography (TLC), gas chromatography (GC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ion chromatography. Ion chromatography (IC) was introduced as an
same set of twenty amino acids. Of the twenty amino acids, glycine is the simplest one and can fit into tight corners. Amino acids are linked by peptide bonds. There are four types of protein structure which are primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary.
