Abstract

The conditions for gel filtration of tryptic hydrolysates of α-casein have been studied. Analysis of the filtrate for absorbancy at 280 mμ, phosphorus, hexose, tryptic activity and reactivity to ninhydrin reagent indicated that the reaction mixture was distributed into characteristic groups of compounds, the most extended separation taking place in acid media. The general differences in filtration characteristics obtained in 1 M acetic acid on 3 dextran gels with different degree of cross-linkages have been demonstrated. Phosphopeptides in the hydrolysate appeared in 4 consecutive groups of compounds on Sephadex G 50, water regain 4.9 g/g dry gel. Trypsin, which is completely excluded from the gel phase of Sephadex G 25, water regain 2.3 g and Sephadex G 50, was distributed into 2 peaks on Sephadex G 75, water regain 8.0 g. Introduction of the gel-filtration method in procedures for preparation of degradation products formed by tryptic hydrolysis of α-casein is discussed.

An improved method for the separation of peptides and α-amino acids on copper-Sephadex
1979, Analytical Biochemistry
An improved method for the separation of peptides from large amounts of α-amino acids on copper-Sephadex is described. The separation is essentially dependent upon the copper content of Sephadex, the pH of the system, and the concentration of the sample, and it is due to the different stabilities of copper complexes of Sephadex, peptides, and α-amino acids. Sephadex behaves as a solid ligand. Compounds that form weaker complexes with copper than Sephadex apparently move with the solvent front. α-Amino acids that form copper complexes having a stability comparable to that of copper-Sephadex complexes are retained on the column. Peptides form strong complexes, stripping copper from the column. They are only slightly retained. The method is most practical when copper is removed from the eluates with chelating ion-exchanger Dowex A-1. Examples are given for the chromatography of single compounds, model mixtures, and extracts from cheese and yeast.
Chemically Reactive Derivatives of Polysaccharides
1974, Advances in Carbohydrate Chemistry and Biochemistry
This chapter describes that the importance of polysaccharide derivatives to industry and society is frequently overlooked by, or even unknown to, many chemists. With the advent of such water-insoluble reagents as insolubilized enzymes, insolubilized antibiotics, and immunoadsorbents, polysaccharides and their derivatives have been effectively exploited as carriers of biologically active molecules, and, consequently, a whole new range of covalent derivatives of polysaccharides has been developed. The chapter covers the production of all the known covalent derivatives of naturally occurring polysaccharides, and discusses the reactions in which the polysaccharide chain is maintained largely, if not completely, intact. A complication associated with polysaccharide derivatization arises because of the large numbers, and different dispositions, of hydroxyl groups in polysaccharides. Thus, reactions are generally heterogeneous, and do not necessarily proceed to completion. Thus, in turn, the properties of the products are partially governed by the nature of the new substituent ( s ) and partially by the free hydroxyl groups still present. The new sequence of partially and fully substituted units along the chain is unknown, and the composition of the product can only be described in terms of the degree

Separation of peptides and amino acids in urine
A relatively simple method is described which allows the detection of differences in the peptide pattern in human urine. Urine is concentrated five times, shaken with CuCo₃ · Cu(OH)₂, centrifugated, and the copper complexes are separated on a TEAE-cellulose column at pH 8.0 into a fraction A (amino acids, amines and neutral substances) and, by elution with 0.2 M acetic acid, into a fraction P (peptides and organic acids). After extraction of the copper by 8-hydroxy-quinoline in chloroform, fraction P is dinitrophenylated and the ether-soluble and acid-soluble DNP-peptides are separated by two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography on Silica Gel G. As little as about 0.5 nmole peptide may be detected.
