Synthesis of dye conjugates of ethylene oxide-propylene oxide copolymers and application in temperature-induced phase partitioning.
Synthesis of conjugates of the ethylene oxide/propylene oxide copolymer UCON 50-HB-5100 and the triazine dyes Cibacron Blue F3G-A and Procion Yellow HE-3G is described. The UCON-dye conjugate of Procion Yellow HE-3G is used as a ligand for affinity partitioning of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from bakers' yeast. The enzyme is first partitioned in a two-phase system composed of UCON, UCON-ligand and dextran, and the two phases isolated in separate containers. A small amount of salt is then added to the upper phase, which contains the UCON-ligand-enzyme complex, and the temperature increased above the cloud point of the UCON polymer to give a new two-phase system. The new two-phase system consists of an upper salt/water phase containing free enzyme and a lower UCON/water phase containing free UCON-ligand. Temperature-induced phase partitioning is thus seen to be of much assistance in dissociating enzyme-ligand complex, recovering enzyme and recycling UCON-ligand.
