Simultaneous determination of iron and ruthenium by preconcentration on sulfopropyl sephadex cation exchanger

A new method for the simultaneous determination of iron and ruthenium at ultra-trace levels is proposed. The method is based on the formation of the iron and ruthenium complexes with 2,4,6-tri-(2-pyridil)-1,3,5-triazine (TPTZ) in the presence of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and buffer CH₂ClCOOH/CH₂ClCOONa (pH=3.0). The formation of the complexes and their retention on a cationic resin SP-Sephadex C25 were integrated in one step at 90 °C, with stirring for 90 min. Under these conditions a high preconcentration level was achieved for both analytes. The complexes retained on the solid phase were evaluated by second derivative spectrophotometry. The selected analytical wavelengths were 539.7 and 553.3 nm for the determination of ruthenium and iron, respectively, by using the zero crossing approach. The detection and quantification limits were 0.54 ng ml⁻¹ and 1.79 ng ml⁻¹ for ruthenium and 0.41 ng ml⁻¹ and 1.38 ng ml⁻¹ for iron. The proposed method was applied to the determination of both analytes in synthetic mixtures.     

Purification of neutral protease by dye affinity chromatography

Twenty triazinic dyes were assayed as ligands for the chromatographic affinity purification of a neutral protease from Flavourzyme^™, a commercial preparation. Screening at pH 4.0 allowed the selection of eight dyes on the basis of their high protease adsorption. When the pH was set to 5.0 in order to increase selectivity, only Yellow HE-4R, Red HE-3B, and Cibacron Blue F3G-A maintained protease adsorption at high values. Neither maximum capacities nor dissociation constants calculated from isotherms measured at 8 and 25°C showed great differences. By contrast, a strong temperature effect was evidenced in the elution step: elution at 8°C allowed 70, 81, and 98% recovery of adsorbed protease with Yellow HE-4R, Red HE-3B, and Cibacron Blue F3G-A, respectively, whereas only 20% recovery was attained at 25°C. Based on the results obtained, a purification process for the neutral protease contained in Flavourzyme with Cibacron Blue F3G-A as the affinity ligand was developed, yielding 96% of electrophoretically pure enzyme in a single step, the specific activity rising from 850 to 3650 U/mg.     

Purification of phospholipase D by two-phase affinity extraction

An aqueous two-phase system of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-salt was used for purification of phospholipase D (PLD) from peanuts and carrots. Alginate, a known macroaffinity ligand for PLD, was incorporated in the PEG phase and resulted in 91 and 93% of the enzyme activity (from peanuts and carrots, respectively) getting partitioned in the PEG phase. The elution of the enzyme from alginate was facilitated by exploiting the fact that the latter can be reversibly precipitated in the presence of Ca2+. The enzyme was eluted from the polymer by using 0.5 M NaCl. Peanuts and carrots PLD could be purified 78- and 17-fold with 82 and 85% activity recovery, respectively. The purified enzyme from both sources gave a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE) electrophoresis.     

Determination of trace amounts of EDTA by use of a CuO-loaded cation exchanger

Summary A copper(II) oxide loaded resin was prepared by treating Cu(II)-form ion-exchange resin (Dowex 50W-X4) with a hot alkaline solution. The column packed with the resulting black resin was stable in the pH range of 5.5–9.6 and suited for conversion of free EDTA to the equivalent amount of Cu(II)-EDTA chelate. The copper in the effluent was determined spectrophotometrically as the diethyldithiocarbamate and thus EDTA in 10^–5 M level was indirectly determined. The method was applied to the decomposition of metal-EDTA complexes on a H-form resin column (Dowex 50W-X8). The complexes of Ca(II), Mg(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), Hg(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) were effectively decomposed on the column even in the presence of a 100-fold amount of each metal ion. At a pH lower than 3, the liberated EDTA was fixed on the resin, but it was recovered quantitatively by washing with water. The recovery of EDTA from the Fe(III) complex was only several percent.

Bestimmung von Spurenmengen EDTA mit Hilfe eines CuO-beladenen Kationenaustauschers

Zusammenfassung CuO-beladener Ionenaustauscher wurde durch Behandlung von Ionenaustauschharz Dowex 50W-X4 in Cu-Form mit heißer alkalischer Lösung hergestellt. Die mit diesem schwarzgefärbten Harz gepackte Säule war im pH-Bereich von 5,5–9,6 stabil und eignete sich zur Umwandlung vom freiem EDTA in die equivalente Menge des Cu(II)-EDTA-Chelats. Kupfer im Eluat wurde spektrophotometrisch als Diethyldithiocarbamat bestimmt und in dieser Weise konnte indirekt EDTA im 10^–5 M Bereich bestimmt werden. Die Methode wurde zur Zersetzung von Metall-EDTA-Komplexen an Dowex 50W-X8 in der H-Form angewendet. Die Komplexe von Ca(II), Mg(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), Hg(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Cd(II) und Zn(II) wurden auch bei Anwesenheit der 100fachen Menge jeden Metallions wirksam zersetzt. Bei pH<3 wurde das freigesetzte EDTA an das Harz fixiert, jedoch durch Elution mit Wasser quantitativ wiedergefunden. Beim Fe(III)-EDTA-Komplex wurden nur einige Prozente EDTA gefunden.

Optimal design of affinity membrane chromatographic columns

A method for the optimal affinity membrane column design, based in the solution of the Thomas kinetic model for frontal analysis in membrane column adsorption, is presented. The method permits to choose suitable membrane operating conditions, column dimensions and processing time, to maximize the throughput when an operating capacity restriction in the range of 80–95% of the column capacity is used. Two basic design charts were obtained by computer simulation, for residence and processing time calculation, respectively. These charts can be used and manipulated in a wide range of operational conditions, provided that four design specifications related to column axial and radial Peclet numbers, length and pressure drop, are fulfilled. The application of the method was illustrated using experimental data and a simple analytical procedure. The implications of the method and results on the design and optimization of affinity membrane chromatographic columns are discussed.     

Aspects of the super-equivalent sorption of glycine by cation exchanger KU-2-8

The structure formed in a sorbent during the super-equivalent sorption of glycine by cation exchanger KU-2-8 is optimized via quantum chemical simulation. The differential thermodynamic characteristics of ion exchange and super-equivalent sorption in the studied system are calculated using a thermodynamic approach that allows us to describe the simultaneous exchange and super-equivalent sorption of compounds by ion-exchangers.     

Correlation of urokinase activity from biopotency and high-performance liquid chromatographic assays

A simpler, less expensive, and faster high-performance liquid chromatographic method was shown to be an alternative to urokinase potency determinations by the Ploug method. Post-elution recovery of the low-molecular-weight form was 104 +/- 2.4% as determined by the Ploug method. Two analysts reported relative standard deviations of 1.6% and 1.1% based on peak height determination of eight replicate injections of a single sample of low-molecular-weight material. Linearity at the same wavelength for low- and high-molecular-weight forms was 0.9999 and 0.9992, respectively, for peak height versus potency.     

Low pressure chromatographic separation of inorganic arsenic species using solid phase extraction cartridges

Routine water analysis of arsenic species requires simple, inexpensive, rapid and sensitive methods. To this end, we have developed two methods, which are based on the use of inexpensive solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges as low pressure chromatographic columns for separation and hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS) and hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HGAFS) for detection of arsenic. Both anion exchange and reverse phase cartridges were successfully used to separate arsenite [As(III)] and arsenate [As(V)]. The composition, concentration, and pH of eluting buffers and the effect of flow rate were systematically investigated. Speciation of inorganic As(III) and As(V) were achieved within 1.5 min, with detection limits of 0.2 and 0.4 ng/ml, respectively. Both isocratic and step gradient elution techniques were suitable for the baseline resolution of As(III) and As(V) using anion exchange cartridges. Application of the methods to the speciation of As(III) and As(V) in untreated water, tap water, and bottled water samples were demonstrated. Results from the speciation of arsenic in a standard reference material water sample using these methods were in good agreement with the certified value and with inter-laboratory comparison results obtained using HPLC separation and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric detection (HPLC-ICPMS).     

Adsorption behavior of urokinase by polypropylene film modified with amino acids as affinity groups

In order to prepare a new-type adsorbent with an affinity ligand, polypropylene films modified with amino acid groups such as -phenylalanine (Phe), , -Phe, -cysteine (Cys), and , -tryptophane (Try), were prepared by radiation-induced grafting of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto polypropylene (PP) films and subsequent amination of poly-GMA graft chains. The physical and chemical properties of the GMA-grafted PP film and the PP film modified with amino acid groups were investigated by IR and XPS. The adsorption of urokinase for the PP films modified with four kinds of amino acid groups were examined under various conditions, such as the contents of the amino acid group and pH value. The adsorption of urokinase increased with the increasing content of the amino acid group. The adsorption of the PP film modified with four kinds of amino acid groups was in the following order: -Phe> , -Phe> , -Try> -Cys. The adsorption amounts of urokinase by the PP film modified with four kinds of amino acid groups at pH 7.4 was higher than that at pH 9.0.     

Purification of alpha-L-fucosidase from various sources by affinity chromatography.

An affinity column for alpha-L-fucosidases was constructed by linking p-amino-phenyl 1-thio-alpha-L-fucopyranoside to Sepharose 4B through linkers of succinyl 3,3'-diamino-dipropylamine. Excellent purification of alpha-L-fucosidase from rat epididymis, Clostridium perfringens and Limulus polyphemus (horse shoecrab) could be effected inone step with good yield. An affinity column purification step can be introduced at any point in published purification procedures. The purified enzyme is essentially free of other glycosidases and proteolytic enzymes. The column material is stable and can be reused for at least two years.     

Purification of phospholipase C by hydrophobic interaction affinity chromatography.

A simple procedure is described for the purification of phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase C(PLC). Lecithin, the substrate for PLC, was ligated hydrophobically to octyl-Sepharose in 2 M (NH4)2SO4. The washed lecithin-conjugated resin was then used to purify PLC from crude preparations by affinity chromatography. PLC binds to the lecithin moiety in the presence of Zn2+ and is eluted with an acidic buffer containing EDTA. PLC activity was recovered in the eluate. Both sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and pI electrofocusing showed that the eluate contained a single monomeric protein with an apparent molecular mass of 66 kDa and a pI of 5.5.     

Purification of soluble acetylcholinesterase from sheep liver by affinity chromatography

The purpose of this study was to develop a protocol for the purification of acetylcholinesterase (AChE, acetylcholine acetylhydrolase, E.C.3.1.1.7) enzyme and to extend a purification method for further enzyme characterization. A further aim was to study whether the edrophonium’s pharmacologic action is due primarily to the inhibition or inactivation of AChE at sites of cholinergic transmission. The purification of a soluble AChE from sheep liver using affinity chromatography on Concanavalin A–Sepharose 4B and edrophonium–Sepharose 6B is studied. The affinity matrix was synthesized by coupling an inhibitor edrophonium to epoxy-activated Sepharose at flow rate of 0.5 ml/min. AChE is a pivotal enzyme in the cholinergic nervous system. Its primary function is to catalyze hydrolysis of released acetylcholine (ACh) and thus maintain homeostasis of this neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Hence, AChE is important in both pharmacological and toxicological mechanisms. It was purified 842-fold with a specific activity of 21 U/mg protein. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) electrophoresis resulted in a monomeric molecular weight of 67.04 kDa, while on gel chromatography using Sephacryl S-200 under nondenaturing conditions to be 201.5 kDa. Based on the molecular weight obtained by gel filtration, the purified AChE was assumed to be a tetrameric form.     

Purification of the pregnancy zone protein by affinity chromatography.

A method for purification of the pregnancy zone protein (PZP) by affinity chromatography was developed. A monospecific immunoglobulin fraction, covalently coupled to Sepharose 4B, was used as binding agent and the elution conditions for PZP are described. The purified protein was shown to have identical properties compared to native PZP with regard to molecular weight, immunodiffusion precipitation and immunosuppressive activity.     

Purification of the membrane protein enzyme lipoamidase by affinity chromatography

Lipoamidase, a membrane glycoprotein enzyme, was purified from brain membrane by means of various affinity columns. A column with immobilized Arg-Phe-NH2 was found to be the most effective. After loading the crude material of the membrane, and extensive washing of the column with sodium chloride (0.3 M) solution, the enzyme activity was eluted by a solution containing 1% of nonionic detergent (Nonidet P-40). The fractions containing the lipoamidase activity were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, and a single protein band detected in this fraction. On the other hand, lipoyl-affinity columns with various resins were not effective in enzyme purification. Single step chromatography on the Arg-Phe-NH2 column enriched the membrane enzyme lipoamidase by 40-fold. The mechanism by which this affinity resin effectively enriches the enzyme remains to be elucidated.     

The stabilization of nanodisperse silver in a sulfo cation exchanger

Silver-ion exchanger (electron ion exchanger, EI) composites with equivalent silver and hydrogen counterion contents were prepared by chemical deposition. Microscopic and X-ray data showed that silver nanoparticles and their ensembles isolated from each other and stabilized by a polymeric matrix were formed. Contact of Ag⁰-EI in the H⁺ form with solutions of silver salts caused the occurrence of two processes, ion exchange and metal recrystallization. These processes were interrelated because they involved one common particle, the silver counterion. Recrystallization proceeded by the electron-ion mechanism, but, because of matrix isolation of silver particles, electron transfer occurred inside separate structural elements (ensembles of particles) rather than over the whole composite volume. The transfer of silver ions largely occurred over ionogenic matrix centers, which substantially decreased their mobility. The low electronic conductivity of the composite and limited mobility of counterions were charge stabilization factors, which hindered recrystallization and, along with matrix stabilization, contributed to the retention of nanosized silver particles.
