Abstract: | The chromatography of porcine pepsin on biospecific sorbents (Sepharose-4B-epsilon-DNP-aminocapronylhydrazide and Sepharose-4B-N-DNP-N'-acetylhexamethylenediamine) was studied. The sorbents in question differ from the previously used hydrophobic sorbent Sepharose-4B-DNP-hexamethylenediamine by the lack of strongly basic groups in the site of the ligand binding to the polymeric matrix. No qualitative differences in the pepsin chromatography on the three sorbents were observed. Presumably the decrease of the pepsin binding to the sorbents, containing the dinitrophenyl group, at pH values above the isoelectric point may be due to the effects of the salt on the binding site in the enzyme molecule rather than to the screening of the positive charges of the sorbent by chlorine ions. A commercial preparation of pepsin was purified 2-fold on the sorbent Sepharose-4B-epsilon-DNP-animocapronylhydrazide. The synthesis of sorbents is described. |
