Phenylboronate is a very stable matrix with affinity to beta-lactamase, Igase and peroxidase. Columns with immobilized phenylboronate specifically bind beta-lactamase in loading buffer; the enzyme can be washed out off the columns by elution buffer. The columns are particularly useful for the isolation of fusion proteins containing beta-lactamase, such as produced e.g. with our PheBo Fusion Protein Cloning System.
COLUMN PROPERTIES:
- stable ligand immobilization
- high coupling capacity
- high mechanical stability
- improved flow characteristics
- re-usable
About 10 mmole phenylboronate are immobilized per ml sepharose beads. Following the general protocol, 1 ml of phenylboronate sepharose binds at least 3 mg beta-lactamase.
Molecules of 3 x 10
7 Dalton and larger are excluded from the agarose beads. The columns can be re-used at least 10 times. They can be stored for at least 5 months at 4°C.
