The selective retardation of NADP+-dependent dehydrogenases by immobilized procion red HE-3B.
The capacities of Procion Red HE-3B and Cibacron Blue F3G-A immobilized to Sepharose CL-4B and Matrex 201R for NAD+-, NADP+- and NAD(P)+-dependent dehydrogenases were measured. Procion Red HE-3B columns retarded NADP+-dependent dehydrogenases more effectively than NAD+-dependent dehydrogenases, whilst immobilized Cibacron Blue F3G-A retarded NAD+-dependent dehydrogenases more effectively than NADP+-dependent dehydrogenases. The capacity of procion Red HE-3B-Sepharose CL-4B for five dehydrogenases was highest in the region of 70nmol of immobilized ligand/ml of settled gel. The effects of using poly(ethyleneimine) as a spacer for both porous and pellicular supports were also examined. Four NADP+-dependent dehydrogenases were purified from yeast extract by using Procion Red HE-3B-Sepharose CL-4B. Two NAD+-dependent dehydrogenases were purified from the same source using Cibacron Blue F3G-A-Sepharose CL-4B. These results are discussed in relation to the use of immobilized Procion Red HE-3B to purify dehydrogenases. This immobilized dye's chromatograhic behaviour is compared with that of immobilized nucleotides. The most important feature of immobilized tirazine dyes seems to be their high operational capacities when compared with group-specific nucleotide adsorbents.
