Question

1)

Cation exchange chromatography, more specifically, uses a negatively charged ion exchange resin with an affinity for molecules having net positive surface charges.

therefore, at low pH=5, Lysine carries a positive charge on the side chain -NH2 group due to low pH but aspartic acid side chain -COOH remains uncharged.

thus Lysine takes more time in the stationary phase and separate in the last.

therefore,If a mixture of lysine and aspartic acid is applied to a cation exchange column at a low pH, the first amino acid to elute would be ASPARTIC ACID.

2)

Examples of common glycoaminoglycansare chondroitin 6-sulfate, keratan sulfate, heparin, dermatan sulfate, and hyaluronate.
