Abstract
Ion-exchange derivatives are described. of a hydrophilic rigid macroporous glycolmethacrylate gel called Spheron, suitable for rapid high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of proteins and their fragments. Their flow parameters are compared with those of ion exchange derivatives of cellulose and polydextran. The conditions for work with them are described (regeneration, cycling, equilibration, column packing) as well as the construction of a simple apparatus for medium-pressure ion exchange chromatography of proteins. The efficiency of these ion exchangers for the separation of proteins is illustrated with examples of chromatography of an artificial mixture of serum albumin, chymotrypsinogen and lysozyme. Chromatography of cyanogen bromide fragments of serum albumin and the A and B chains of oxidized insulin showed that the method can be applied in chromatography on higher molecular protein fragments. A review of all proteins, including technical enzymes, which have already been chromatographed on Spheron ion exchangers is also given. The prospects of Spheron ion exchangers for HPLC of proteins and their fragments are briefly discussed.
