title: p-Toluenesulfonyl chloride as an activating agent of agarose for the preparation of immobilized affinity ligands and proteins.
abstract: A number of biomolecules were coupled covalently by nucleophilic displacement to agarose preparations substituted with tosyl groups. In one series of experiments N6-(6-aminohexyl)-adenosine 5'-monophosphate and N6-(6-aminohexyl)adenosine 2',5'-bisphosphate were bound by their terminal amino groups to the polysaccharide support. It could be shown that from a mixture of lactate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase the immobilized monophosphate showed bio-affinity only for NAD+-dependent lactate dehydrogenase, whereas the immobilized bisphosphate showed affinity only for the NADP+-dependent 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. Furthermore, the immobilized monophosphate (5 mumol/g wet gel) was applied for the single-step purification of lactate dehydrogenase from crude beef heart extract. To demonstrate the immobilization of proteins, soybean trypsin inhibitor (75 mg/g dry support) was immobilized to tosylated agarose, tested as affinity chromatography material and shown to bind 60 mg trypsin/g dry gel. Horseradish peroxidase and horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase were used as model enzymes. Although no optimization had been attempted, the former (approximately 70 mg/g dry support) had a coupling yield of approximately 18% with a specific activity (relative to soluble enzyme) of approximately 10%, whereas approximately 60% of alcohol dehydrogenase was coupled (approximately 100 mg/g dry support) with a specific activity of approximately 25%.
