Separation by EAC was conducted in a multicompartment electrolyzer in which the affinity gel media were packed in one of the central compartments. The presence of an electric field accelerated the migration of proteins inside the gel matrix during adsorption and desorption processes. This led to the increase of the overall speed of separation. The present study was focused on the effect of the strength of the electric field on adsorption and desorption processes.展开更多

Methods： HS-AFP from serum of HCC patients was separated by a mini-column Lens culinaris agglutinin （LCA）-affinity chromatography. The levels of serum total AFP and separated HS-AFP were detected by radioimmunoassay （RIA）. Results： Circulating AFP was separated into three peaks （AFP-1, AFP-2, and AFP-3） by LCA-affinity chromatography. Dunng the elution course, the AFP-1 and AFP-2 could be eluted with TE buffer. HSAFP （AFP-3） from sera of HCC patients was eluted clearly on the LCA-sepharose gel mini-column with a solution containing α-methyI-D-mannoside. It was a part of total AFP and only found in sera of HCC patients. A ratio of more than 15% for HS-AFP to total AFP in serum was considered as a specific marker for HCC diagnosis with higher sensitivity （92.7%） and specificity （88.2%）. Conclusion： The new assay for circulating HS-AFP analysis is more sensitive, repeatable, and convenient. Its clinical application would be useful to early diagnosis of HCC.展开更多

Methods Phage antibody library was allowed to mix with hex-His tagged expressed HEV specific antigen, NE2, in solution for adequate binding before affinity resin for hex-His was added. The non-specific phage antibodies were removed by extensive washing and the specific bound phage antibodies could then be eluted to infect TG1 or repeat the binding process for subsequent rounds of purification. The specificity of the selected human antibodies were tested by antigen competitive ELISA, human sera blocking ELISA, scFv expression, and sequence analysis. Results His-NE2 specific recombinant phages were successfully enriched after panning procedure. Two individual phage clones, 126 and 138, showed 50% inhibition in NE2 antigen competition ELISA and obvious blocking effect by HEV positive serum in blocking ELISA. Soluble scFv of 126, 138 bound to NE2 specifically. Conclusion Two specific human phage antibodies against hepatitis E virus （HEV） from phage display library were isolated by immobilized metal affinity chromatography. The immobilized metal affinity chromatography applied to phage antibody selection was a helpful supplement to the selection in solution.展开更多

In this work, the recombinantGGPPS expressed in Escherichia coli by cloning and transforming the gene dr1395 of D. radiodurans was isolated rapidly by an immobilized metal affinity supermacroporous cryogel, i.e., Cu2＋-iminodiacetic acid （IDA）-cryogel. The properties of the Cu2＋-IDA-cryogel were characterized using capillary-based mathematical model and experi- mental measurements. The obtained protein samples were analyzed by the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis （SDS-PAGE）. The porosity of the present Cu2＋-IDA-cryogel is 90.4% and the water permeability is 5.04x10-12 m2. From the capillary-based model, this cryogel presents a slightly wide normal pore （capillary） size distribution with the mean diameter of 55.2 μm, the standard deviation of 28.0 μm and the half of skeleton wall thickness of 2.8 μm. The pore size distribute from about 10 to 141 μm and the effective tortuosity of these capillary pores increases from 2.60 to 9.05. The isolation of the GGPPS from cell homogenate can be achieved at the flow velocity of 3.40x 10-4μm. s-1 by the Cu2＋-IDA-cryogel bed. High-purity GGPPS （about 91.4%） is obtained according to the SDS-PAGE analysis of the elution samples, indicating that the present method is a promising, simple and ef- fective atmroach to isolate GGPPS from cell homoenate of engineering, strains.展开更多

In this paper, Cibacron Blue F3G-A was immobilized, through a spacer arm, onto a rigid hydrophilic porous polymer by reacting an epoxy-group-containing poly(vinyl alcohol) with 6-aminohexyl-N(-Cibacron Blue F3G-A, which was obtained by reacting Cibacron Blue F3G-A with excess of 1,6-diaminohexane, in a pH 8.6 buffer. The epoxy-group-containing poly(vinyl alcohol) was prepared by treating macroporous poly(vinyl alcohol) with excess epichlorohydrin in the presence of NaOH in dimethyl sulfoxide. The macroporous poly(vinyl alcohol) was prepared by hydrolysis of macroporous crosslinked poly(vinyl acetate), which was synthesized by suspension copolymerization of vinyl acetate and triallyl isocyanurate in the presence of butyl acetate and n-heptane as diluents. The Cibacron Blue F3G-A-immobilized poly(vinyl alcohol) was packed in a stainless steel column (250×5 mm I. D.) and the chromatographic behaviors of several proteins (cytochrome c, lysozyme, bovine serum albumin, insulin, and lactate dehydrogenase) were determined.展开更多

The chromatography process was developed to a yield of high purity product of urokinase from crude materials. The affinity gel used in the process was prepared by an epichlorohydrin-activation method using epichlorohydrin activated Sepharose 4B as a matrix and p-aminobenzamidine as a ligand. The chromatographic process were numerically simulated and analyzed with the aid of VERSE-LC computer simulator. Considering the basic principles, rate model with the back mixing in column inlet was utilized in simulating and studying the effect of the column inlet pattern on other parameters. Comparison of the simulation results with the experimental data showed that the rate model can be used to describe the affinity chromatography of urokinase in a fixed bed column with satisfactory accuracy.展开更多

The results showed that there was one major binding site for Ag+ in the particulates. The binding capacity ranges from 6.06 to 1.01 μ·mol·g-1, and the binding constant (lgK) from 6.23 to 7.43 M-1 in 0.005 M ion strength at pH=3-7. The binding capacity and affinity constant were found to be pH-dependent. It is suggested that the particulate surface site where silver was bound was the anionic base. This study would be helpful for better understanding of the fundamental environmental chemistry of silver in sediments.展开更多

The fusion protein existed both in the supernatant and inside the bacterial cell,but the insoluble protein had no biological activity and could not be refolded. The rotative speed of the shaker and the temperature of induction were optimized to maximize the expression of the soluble fusion protein. From the supernatant of the cell sonicates Glutathion Sephrose 4B affinity column chromatography was employed to isolate the fusion protein which could be purified to >80 0 0 in a single step. The yield of soluble GST IL 6 was about 10 mg per liter culture. The GST was site specifically cloven by 6 hours of treatment with thrombin and from the thrombin digest mixture IL 6 was purified by Q high performance ion exchange chromatography. From 1 liter of E.coli culture 2 mg refined IL 6 was obtained. The purified IL 6 had a purity of more than 95 0 0 and a biological activity of 1.02×10 8 IU/mg.展开更多

文摘Frontal affinity chromatography was applied to characterizing the mechanism of binding of silver with sediment particulates collected from Lake Ontario, Canada. The results showed that there was one major binding site for Ag+ in the particulates. The binding capacity ranges from 6.06 to 1.01 μ·mol·g-1, and the binding constant (lgK) from 6.23 to 7.43 M-1 in 0.005 M ion strength at pH=3-7. The binding capacity and affinity constant were found to be pH-dependent. It is suggested that the particulate surface site where silver was bound was the anionic base. This study would be helpful for better understanding of the fundamental environmental chemistry of silver in sediments.

文摘Developing a chiral material as versatile and universal chiral stationary phase(CSP) for chiral separation in diverse chromatographic techniques simultaneously is of great significance.In this study,we demonstrated for the first time that a chiral metal-organic cage(MOC),[Zn_(6)M_(4)],as a universal chiral recognition material for both multi-mode high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) and capillary gas chromatography(GC) enantioseparation.Two novel HPLC CSPs with different bonding arms(CSP-A with a cationic imidazolium bonding arm and CSP-B with an alkyl chain bonding arm) were prepared by clicking of functionalized chiral MOC [Zn_(6)M_(4)] onto thiolated silica via thiol-ene click chemistry.Meanwhile,a capillary GC column statically coated with the chiral MOC [Zn_(6)M_(4)] was also fabricated.The results showed that the chiral MOC exhibits excellent enantioselectivity not only in normal phase HPLC(NP-HPLC) and reversed phase(RP-HPLC) but also in GC,and various racemates were well separated,including alcohols,diols,esters,ketones,ethers,amines,and epoxides.Importantly,CSP-A and CSP-B are complementary to commercially available Chiralcel OD-H and Chiralpak AD-H columns in enantioseparation,which can separate some racemates that could not be or could not well be separated by the two widely used commercial columns,suggesting the great potential of the two prepared CSPs in enantioseparation.This work reveals that the chiral MOC is potential versatile chiral recognition materials for both HPLC and GC,and also paves the way to expand the potential applications of MOCs.

文摘Metal organic framework(MOF) assembled with coordination bonds has the disadvantage of poor stability that limits its application in the field of stationary phase,while covalent organic framework(COF)assembled through covalent bonds exhibits excellent structural stability.It has been shown that the stationary phases prepared by combining MOF and COF can make up for the poor stability of MOF@SiO_(2),and the MOF/COF composites have superior chromatographic separation performance.However,the traditional methods for preparing COF/MOF based stationary phases are generally solvent thermal synthesis.In this study,a green and low-cost synthesis method was proposed for the preparation of MOF/COF@SiO_(2) stationary phase.Firstly,COF@SiO_(2) was prepared in a choline chloride/ethylene glycol based deep eutectic solvent(DES).Secondly,another acid-base tunable DES prepared by mixing p-toluenesulfonic acid(PTSA)and 2-methylimidazole in different proportions was introduced as the reaction solvent and reactant for rapid synthesis of MOF/COF@SiO_(2).Compared with the toxic transition metal-based MOFs selected in most previous studies,a lightweight and non-toxic S-zone metal(calcium) based MOF was employed in this study.PTSA and calcium will form the calcium/oxygen-containing organic acid framework in acidic DES,which assembles with terephthalic acid dissolved in basic DES to form MOF.The strong hydrogen bonding effect of DES can facilitate rapid assembly of Ca-MOF.The obtained Ca-MOF/COF@SiO_(2) can be used for multi-mode chromatography to efficiently separate multiple isomeric/hydrophilic/hydrophobic analytes.The synthesis method of Ca-MOF/COF@SiO_(2) is green and mild,especially the use of acid-base tunable DES promotes the rapid synthesis of non-toxic Ca-MOF/COF@silica composites,which offers an innovative approach of greenly synthesizing novel MOF/COF stationary phases and extends their applications in the field of chromatography.

文摘[Objectives]To establish an efficient and environmentally friendly separation and purification method for the large-scale preparation of the major active components-eleutherol,eleutherine,and isoeleutherine-from the ethnomedicinal plant Eleutherine americana Merr.et K.Heyne.[Methods]The sample of E.americana bulbs was initially extracted with ethanol,followed by three successive extractions with ethyl acetate-water(2:1,V/V)to obtain the target component-enriched fraction.Eight solvent systems were systematically optimized,and a mixture of petroleum ether-ethyl acetate-ethanol-water(5:5:6:4,V/V/V/V)was identified as the optimal solvent system for high-speed counter-current chromatography(HSCCC)separation under conditions of 900 rpm,2 mL/min,and 35℃.The crude HSCCC product was further purified by silica gel column chromatography(200-300 mesh)using gradient elution with a solvent system of n-hexane-dichloromethane-ethyl acetate(varying from 10:5:1 to 4:5:1,V/V/V).UPLC-PDA(Agilent SB-C_(18)column)and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(600 MHz)were comprehensively employed to assess compound purity and confirm molecular structures.[Results]An optimized technique integrating HSCCC and silica gel column chromatography was established,successfully enabling the large-scale preparation of three bioactive components:eleutherol(purity 99%),eleutherine(purity 98%),and isoeleutherine(purity 98%).Structural identification results were consistent with those reported in the literature.Compared to traditional methods,the new approach demonstrated improved separation efficiency and reduced solvent consumption.[Conclusions]The combined separation method utilizing HSCCC and silica gel column chromatography established in this study demonstrates notable advantages,including high efficiency,environmental friendliness,and cost-effectiveness,enabling the large-scale preparation of the three major active components from E.americana.This approach outperforms conventional methods by offering higher separation efficiency,reduced solvent consumption,and superior product purity,providing a robust technical solution for the development and utilization of bioactive compounds from E.americana.Moreover,it offers a novel methodological reference for the isolation and purification of other natural products.

文摘1 INTRODUCTIONIn literature,most matrices of affinity chromatography for urokinase(EC 3.4.99.26)purification were prepared by cyanogen bromide activation.However,theseadsorbents usually suffered from the drawback of leakage of the ligand,particularly inalkaline medium,because of the instability of the isourea linkage between the ligandand the spacer or agarose.Moreover,the positively charged imido group of theN-substituted isourea derivative and the hydrophobicity of the spacers might promotenonspecific adsorption.On the contrary,the adsorbents prepared by the method
文摘Recombinant E.coli JM109, containing pHZ1818 plasmid which included the fused gene encoding human interleukin 6(IL 6), expressed a fusion protein with glutathion S transferase(GST). The fusion protein existed both in the supernatant and inside the bacterial cell,but the insoluble protein had no biological activity and could not be refolded. The rotative speed of the shaker and the temperature of induction were optimized to maximize the expression of the soluble fusion protein. From the supernatant of the cell sonicates Glutathion Sephrose 4B affinity column chromatography was employed to isolate the fusion protein which could be purified to >80 0 0 in a single step. The yield of soluble GST IL 6 was about 10 mg per liter culture. The GST was site specifically cloven by 6 hours of treatment with thrombin and from the thrombin digest mixture IL 6 was purified by Q high performance ion exchange chromatography. From 1 liter of E.coli culture 2 mg refined IL 6 was obtained. The purified IL 6 had a purity of more than 95 0 0 and a biological activity of 1.02×10 8 IU/mg.
