Effect of accessible immobilized NAD(+) concentration on the bioaffinity chromatographic behavior of NAD(+)-dependent dehydrogenases using the kinetic locking-on strategy.
In preparation for studies aimed at establishing the relationship between immobilized NAD(+) concentration and the concentration of soluble locking-on ligand required to promote biospecific adsorption of NAD(+)-dependent dehydrogenases to immobilized NAD(+) derivatives (the "locking-on" strategy), two approaches were evaluated for varying substitution levels: (i) suitable dilution of the affinity matrix with unsubstituted Sepharose 4B and (ii) direct coupling of the required ligand concentration to the inert matrix. The latter approach was found to be the preferable strategy for evaluation of the locking-on tactic because it produced a more homogeneous distribution of immobilized NAD(+) concentration. Affinity chromatographic studies using S(6)-linked NAD(+) derivatives synthesized to various substitution levels showed that the total accessible immobilized NAD(+) concentration has a direct effect on the locking-on behavior of pyridine nucleotide-dependent dehydrogenases. The one-chromatographic-step bioaffinity purification of l-lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH, EC 1.1.1.27) from bovine heart illustrates the potential of the locking-on strategy for protein purification applications.
