Abstract
AbstractWe have chosen aromatic amino acids and their derivatives as ligands for the affinity chromatography of aspartic proteinases (pepsins and pepsinogens). The following ligands were used: L‐tyrosine, L‐phenylalanine, tyramine, and N‐acetyl‐L‐phenylalanine, and their iodinated derivatives (mono‐ and di‐substituted) with free or blocked amino group. Two types of reactions were used for coupling ligands to Sepharose activated with divinyl sulfone (DVS): via amino group or via carboxyl group. Ligands with free amino group were directly coupled to the activated matrix (L‐tyrosine, 3‐iodo‐L‐tyrosine, 3,5‐diiodo‐L‐tyrosine, L‐phenylalanine, 4‐iodo‐L‐phenylalanine, tyramine); ligands with blocked amino group (N‐acetyl‐L‐phenylalanine, BOC‐L‐tyrosine, BOC‐3,5‐diiodo‐L‐tyrosine; BOC: tert‐butoxy carbonyl) were coupled to Sepharose containing linked ethylenediamine using the carbodiimide reaction. Alternatively, ethylenediamine was bound to free carboxyl croup using the same reaction and these ligand derivatives reacted with divinyl sulfone activated Sepharose. The prepared affinity carriers were used to study the binding properties of porcine pepsin and pepsinogen.
