An anion exchange column, which binds negatively-charged molecules, is frequently used to isolate proteins with differing charges. A collection of different proteins are poured into the column setup and those with negative charges will stick to the column while neutral or positively charged molecules are washed away. Given this information which of the following peptide sequences will bind MOST strongly to the column?
Correct
Incorrect

2. Question
A cation exchange column is identical to an anion exchange column except it binds positively charged molecules rather than negative ones. Given this information which of the following peptide sequences will bind with the second-highest affinity to a cation exchange column?
