title: Ligands for the affinity chromatography of mammalian thymidine kinase. 1: Strategy, synthesis and evaluation.
abstract: Selected thymidine derivatives were synthesized with various spacers and fixed as model compounds at position N-3', C-5, C-3' and C-5', respectively, to simulate the preparation of an affinity gel matrix. Compounds 3, 6, 7 and 9 were evaluated for their effect on pure human cytosolic thymidine kinase (TK). All four compounds showed competitive inhibition with respect to thymidine, with Ki-values between 80 and 1000 microM. In the same positions as the model compounds were bound to the spacers thymidine derivatives were coupled with different Sepharose gel matrices. These affinity matrices were tested for isolation of thymidine kinase out of placental enzyme material. Except for one matrix, more than 98% of the applied activity was retained by the affinity matrices tested. The strongest binding to the enzyme resulted from a fixation at C-5' of the thymidine molecule to the gel matrix.
