The binding of phosphoglycerate mutases from a variety of sources to Cibacron Blue-Sepharose has been examined. Those enzymes which are dependent on 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) for activity bind to the immobilized dye and can be eluted by BPG. Those enzymes which are independent of BPG do not bind to the immobilized dye. The possible structural signifi-cance of this distinction is discussed.

Although beta-lactamases do not require any nucleotide co-substrates, the OXA-2 type is inhibited competitively by Cibacron Blue 3GA, and by other anthraquinone dyes, including some simpler compounds with no side chain. The enzyme causes a red shift in the spectrum of Cibacron Blue. The beta-lactamase can be adsorbed in Blue Sepharose and specifically eluted by benzylpenicillin. These results indicate that the binding of anthraquinone dyes is a specific effect similar to that seen with many nucleotide-binding enzymes.

The dye Cibacron Blue F-3-GA was conjugated to Sepharose to provide an affinity column for serum albumin. Passage of whole human plasma through a column of Cibacron Blue-Sepharose results in the removal of approx. 98% of the albumin. The latter can be quantitatively recovered by desorption with NaSCN. Albumin-depleted plasma can be readily resolved into discrete fractions by a combination of conventional biochemical techniques. In particular, the resolution of plasma proteins with properties similar to those of native human plasma albumin can readily be accomplished by ion-exchange chromatography of the Sepharose-dye-treated plasma on DEAE-cellulose.

Cibacron Blue 3G-A inhibited monkey liver serine hydroxymethyltransferase competitively with respect to tetrahydrofolate and non-competitively with respect to L-serine. NADH, a positive heterotropic effector, failed to protect the enzymes against inhibition by the dye and was unable to desorb the enzyme from Blue Sepharose CL-6B gel matrix. The binding of the dye to the free enzyme was confirmed by changes in the dye absorption spectrum. The results indicate that the dye probably binds at the tetrahydrofolate-binding domain of the enzyme, rather than at the ‘dinucleotide fold’.
