Comparative studies on immobilization of human prostatic acid phosphatase.
Acid phosphatase (othophosphoric monoester phosphohydrolase (acid optimum), EC 3.1.3.2) from the human prostate was immobilized by its protein moiety on cyanogen bromide-activated Sepharose, by carbohydrate moiety on Concanavalin-A-Sepharose, and by Schiff base formation with partially oxidized carbohydrate groups on ethylenediamine-Sepharose. The highest retention of enzyme activity, 80%, was found for the noncovalent immobilization on Concanavalin-A-Sepharose. It was demonstrated that the optimal pH changes for the Concanavalin-A-Sepharose and CNBr-Sepharose-enzyme complexes are electrostratic in character. In all cases of immobilization the enzyme has higher thermostability than that for the native enzyme under the same conditions. The effects of the enzyme stabilization were interpreted in terms of the multipoint interaction between the enzyme molecule and the carrier.
