Use of immobilized cytochrome c as a ligand for affinity chromatography of thiosulfate dehydrogenase from Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

J Biotechnol. 2005 May 25;117(3):293-8. doi: 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2005.01.014.

Abstract

Three matrices were used for immobilizing the cytochrome c: Sepharose CL-4B, Silasorb SPH amine and a laboratory-prepared new matrix based on crosslinked triazine (2,4,6-tris(aminoethylamine)-1,3,5-triazine) (TAT). Cytochrome c was immobilized on the matrices by several procedures and the amount of incorporated cytochrome c was determined. Cytochrome c immobilized on Sepharose CL-4B with periodate activation, cytochrome c immobilized on Silasorb-amine with carbodiimide activation and cytochrome c immobilized on crosslinked triazine were suitable for purification of thiosulfate dehydrogenase from Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. The yield with all matrices was about 90%. The purification factor of the above matrices was about 15. A new matrix based on TAT with cytochrome c represented a suitable way for thiosulfate dehydrogenase purification.
