Methods of synthesizing a series of chemically-defined AMP, ADP, ATP, adenylyl imidodiphosphate and pyrophosphate derivatives suitable for affinity chromatography are extensively described. Each derivative has a single primary amino group at the end of a hexamethylene ‘spacer’ chain for attachment to CNBr-activated agarose. The synthesis of the derivative where the ‘spacer’ arm is attached directly to the 8 position of the adenine ring to produce 8-(6-aminohexyl)amino-AMP involves the direct bromination of AMP in the 8 position followed by displacement of the halogen by 1,6-diaminohexane. This monophosphate derivative can then be converted into the corresponding di- or triphosphate forms by direct phosphate condensation with carbonyl di-imidazole. A second series of adenosine phosphate derivatives with the phosphate moieties unsubstituted has been similarly prepared from N6-(6-aminohexyl)-AMP (Guilford et al., 1972). A third type of ligand has been synthesized by condensing the phosphoryl imidazolide of AMP with 6-aminohex-1-yl phosphate. This compound, P1-(6-aminohex-1-yl) P2-(5′-adenosyl) pyrophosphate, has an unsubstituted adenine ring. The synthesis of a fourth type of ligand, 6-aminohex-1-yl pyrophosphate, was done by heating 6-aminohexan-1-ol with crystalline pyrophosphoric acid under reduced pressure. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by chemical, electrophoretic and chromatographic methods and by u.v. spectrometry. The general applicability of the synthetic methods used is discussed in relation to the preparation of other affinity adsorbents. Examples are given where these derivatives have been successful in reversibly binding dehydrogenases, kinases and myosin and its proteolytic subfragments. The partial purification of rat liver glucokinase on an ADP derivative is shown.

1. Three established methods for immobilization of ligands through primary amino groups promoted little or no attachment of NAD+through the 6-amino group of the adenine residue. Two of these methods (coupling to CNBr-activated agarose and to carbodi-imide-activated carboxylated agarose derivatives) resulted instead in attachment predominantly through the ribosyl residues. Other immobilized derivatives were prepared by azolinkage of NAD+(probably through the 8 position of the adenine residue) to a number of different spacer-arm–agarose derivatives. 2. The effectiveness of these derivatives in the affinity chromatography of a variety of NAD-linked dehydrogenases was investigated, applying rigorous criteria to distinguish general or non-specific adsorption effects from truly NAD-specific affinity (bio-affinity). The ribosyl-attached NAD+derivatives displayed negligible bio-affinity for any of the NAD-linked dehydrogenases tested. The most effective azo-linked derivative displayed strong bio-affinity for glycer-aldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, weaker bio-affinity for lactate dehydrogenase and none at all for malate dehydrogenase, although these three enzymes have very similar affinities for soluble NAD+. Alcohol dehydrogenase and xanthine dehydrogenase were subject to such strong non-specific interactions with the hydrocarbon spacer-arm assembly that any specific affinity was completely eclipsed. 3. It is concluded that, in practice, the general effectiveness of a general ligand may be considerably distorted and attenuated by the nature of the immobilization linkage. However, this attenuation can result in an increase in specific effectiveness, allowing dehydrogenases to be separated from one another in a manner unlikely to be feasible if the general effectiveness of the ligand remained intact. 4. The bio-affinity of the various derivatives for lactate dehydrogenase is correlated with the known structure of the NAD+-binding site of this enzyme. Problems associated with the use of immobilized derivatives for enzyme binding and mechanistic studies are briefly discussed.

Penicillin amidohydrolase (EC 3.5.1.11.) is one of the few enzymes used successfully for deprotection of primary amino groups of semisynthetic peptides. The available material is usually contamined by endo- and exopeptidases. We managed to prepare the enzyme devoid of trypsin- and chymotrypsin-like activities using affinity chromatography with specific ligands: Gly-D-Phe-Phe-Tyr-Thr-Pro-Lys-Thr (the fF peptide) and Leu-Gly-Val-D-Arg-Arg-Gly-Phe (the rR peptide). For further purification of the enzyme affinity chromatography with N-phenylacetyl-D-tert-Leu as a ligand was used.

The hepatic microsomal fraction contains tightly bound calmodulin as demonstrated by affinity chromatography. When this calmodulin was partially removed by EGTA treatment (0.5 mM-EGTA), the uptake of 45Ca2+ by the microsomal vesicles was stimulated by added calmodulin and inhibited by trifluoperazine (TFP). The Ca2+-dependent ATPase was partially purified on a calmodulin column. This partial purification resulted in a 500-fold increase in the specific activity of the enzyme when measured in the presence of added calmodulin. Antibodies prepared against calmodulin prevented this stimulatory effect. The fraction eluted from the calmodulin column contained several protein bands indicating that the specific activity of the Ca2+-dependent ATPase is probably still underestimated. There are likely to be other calmodulin-sensitive processes present in the hepatic microsomal fraction.

A series of chemically-defined adenosine phosphate ligands attached to Sepharose 4B were used as active-site probes in studying the interaction of enzymes with their coenzymes and substrates and to test the suitability of these matrices for ‘general ligand’ affinity chromatography. Nicotinamide nucleotide-dependent dehydrogenases were used as models to test this methodology. Elution from these columns by NAD+and/or AMP gradients (in the presence or the absence of substrates and/or nicotinamide mononucleotide) was consistent with: (1) the compulsory ordered addition of substrates to lactate and malate dehydrogenase; (2) the necessity for the NMN moiety of NAD+to bind to these enzymes before the substrate; and illustrated: (3) that the binding of these two hydrogenases to these columns compared very well with the published three-dimensional models for these enzymes and (4) that separation of mixtures of dehydrogenases depended on the choice of matrix and displacing ion and whether any additions (e.g. substrates) were made to the gradients used. These techniques were used to purify UDP-glucose dehydrogenase from a crude starting material on a phosphate-linked UDP (or ADP) matrix. The binding of this enzyme to these two columns was not consistent with either an ordered or random addition of substrates and suggested a more complex mechanism.
