Improved methods for separation and purification by affinity chromatography.

Abstract

Defined conditions for simplified Affinity Chromatography suitable for instructional and research purposes, were developed. The standard method of activation of polysaccharide gels using BrCN was modified and improved using a highly buffered reaction solution. A batchwise protocol for the immunoadsorbent isolation of anti-BSA was used (with commonly employed dissociation agents) and comparative data were obtained.

Study of protein-ligand binding effects by direct chromatographic on-column injection.

The direct zonal on-column injection method was applied to a high-performance liquid chromatographic study of pollutant-protein binding interactions in solution. The protein and the protein-ligand complex are excluded on the basis of the size from the diol support, and the free ligand penetrates into the pores and is more retained. The pattern of the ligand elution profile depends on the protein-ligand dissociation constant. This effect was quantitatively analysed by developing a numerical simulation algorithm in which the column is divided into slices of given thickness. The column length, flow-rate and shape of the injection signal are given as input parameters. A global dispersion coefficient accounts for peak broadening. A rapid equilibrium is assumed with the hypothesis that a monovalent ligand interacts with a single binding site on the protein. The interaction of bovine serum albumin with pentachlorophenol was studied, and an apparent dissociation constant for the protein-ligand complex was determined by fitting the theoretical profile to the experimental one. The effect of the acetonitrile content in the solvent was studied. An important decrease of the dissociation constant is observed that affects the chromatographic elution pattern.

Formaldehyde, glyoxal, urethane, methyl carbamate, 2,3-butanedione, 2,3-hexanedione, ethyl acrylate, dibromoacetonitrile and 2-hydroxypropionitrile induce chromosome loss in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Induction of mitotic chromosome loss could be demonstrated for the dialdehyde glyoxal, the diketones 2,3-butanedione and 2,3-hexanedione, ethyl and methyl carbamate, ethyl acrylate, dibromoacetonitrile, 2-hydroxypropionitrile and formaldehyde, but only when they were combined with subacute concentrations of propionitrile, which is a strong inducer of chromosomal malsegregation. The same chemicals did not induce mitotic chromosome loss when applied in pure form. However, glyoxal, ethyl acrylate, dibromoacetonitrile and formaldehyde when applied in pure form also induced mitotic recombination. Respiratory deficiency was induced, in the absence of propionitrile, by these recombinogenic agents and also by 2,3-hexanedione and 2-hydroxypropionitrile which are not recombinogenic.

High-performance liquid chromatographic separation of purine deoxyribonucleoside monophosphate-benzo[a]pyrene adducts.

Chromatographic methods that allow the separation of adducts of purine nucleoside 3'-phosphates with the pure enantiomers of the anti-dihydrodiol epoxide of benzo[a]pyrene are developed. The optimization procedure includes evaluation of the effect of buffer molarity, the pH of the buffer, and the role of organic modifiers. The method can be utilized to prepare standards with known absolute configuration that can be further used in the Randerath 32P-postlabeling procedure.
