The purification of proteins by conventional procedures is frequently laborious
and incomplete, and the yields are often low. Enzyme isolation based on a
highly specific biological property-strong reversible association with specific
substrates or inhibitors-has received only limited attention.1-4
In affinity chromatography, the enzyme to be purified is passed through a
column containing a cross-linked polymer or gel to which a specific competitive
inhibitor of the enzyme has been covalently attached. All proteins without sub-
stantial affinity for the bound inhibitor will pass directly through the column,
whereas one that recognizes the inhibitor will be retarded in proportion to its
affinity constant. Elution of the bound enzyme is readily achieved by changing
such parameters as salt concentration or pH, or by addition of a competitive
inhibitor in solution.
The successful application of the method requires that the adsorbent have a
number of favorable characteristics. Thus, the unsubstituted matrix or gel
should show minimal interaction with proteins in general, both before and after
coupling to the specific binding group. It must form a loose, porous network
that permits easy entry and exit of macromolecules and which retains favorable
flow properties during use. The chemical structure of the supporting material
must permit the convenient and extensive attachment of the specific ligand
under relatively mild conditions, and through chemical bonds that are stable to
the conditions of adsorption and elution. Finally, the inhibitor groups critical
in the interaction must be sufficiently distant from the solid matrix to minimize
steric interference with the binding processes.
In this report the general principles and potential application of affinity chro-
matography are illustrated by results of its application to the purification of staphy-
lococcal nuclease, a-chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase A. The solid matrix
used in these studies was Sepharose (a “beaded” form of the cross-linked dextran
of highly porous structure, agarose5) which displays virtually all the desirable fea-
tures listed above. Activation of the Sepharose by treatment with cyanogen
bromide6 7 results in a derivative that can be readily coupled to unlrotonated
amino allg. The resultant Sepharose-inhibitor gel is a
highly stable structure which has nearly ideal properties for selective column
chromatography.
Experimental Procedure.-Materials: Sepharose 4B was obtained from Pharmacia,
cyanogen bromide from Eastman, pdTp and benzoyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester from Cal-
biochem.
Staphylococcal nuclease (Foggi strain) was obtained by modifications8 of techniques
described by Fuchs et al.9 The following purified enzymes were purchased from Worth-
ington: a-chymotrypsin (CDS 7LC); a-chymotrypsin, DFP-treated (CD-DIP 204);

caproyl-D-tryptophan methyl ester, and ,3-phenylpropionamide.
Preparation of substituted Sepharoses: Cyanogen bromide activation of Sepharose was
based on procedures previously described.687 Sepharose (decanted) is mixed with an
equal volume of water, and cyanogen bromide (100 mg per ml of settled Sepharose) is
added in an equal volume of water. The pH is immediately adjusted to, and maintained
at, 11 by titration with 4 N NaOH. When the reaction has ended (about 8 min), the
Sepharose is washed with about 20 vol of cold 0.1 M NaHCO3 on a Buchner funnel under
suction (about 2 min). The washed Sepharose is suspended in cold 0.1 M NaHCO3, pH
9.0, or another appropriate buffer, in a volume equal to that of the original Sepharose,
and the inhibitor is quickly added in a solution representing 5-15% of the final volume.
This mixture is stirred gently at 40 for 24 hr, after which it is washed extensively with
water and buffer.
The quantity of inhibitor coupled to the Sepharose can be controlled by the amount of
inhibitor added to the activated Sepharose, or by adding very large amounts of inhibitor
to yield maximal coupling, followed by dilution of the final Sepharose-inhibitor with un-
substituted Sepharose. Furthermore, to increase the amount of inhibitor coupled to
the Sepharose, it is possible to repeat the activation and coupling procedures on the
already substituted material, provided the inhibitor is stable at pH 11 (for 10 min). In
the cases reported here the amount of inhibitor that was coupled was easily estimated by
calculating the amount of inhibitor (spectroscopically measured) which was not recovered
in the final washings. Alternatively, acid hydrolysis of the Sepharose, followed by amino
acid analysis, could be used for quantitation in those cases where amino acids or peptides
are coupled to the Sepharose.
The operational capacity of the Sepharose columns for adsorption of protein was deter-
mined by two methods. In the first, an amount of enzyme in excess of the theoretical
capacity was added to a small column (about 1 ml). After washing this column with
buffer until negligible quantities of protein emerged in the effluent, the enzyme was
rapidly removed (i.e., by acetic acid washing) and its amount determined. In the second
method, small aliquots of pure protein were added successively to the column until
significant protein or enzymatic activity emerged; the total amount added, or that
which was subsequently eluted, was considered the operational capacity.
Results.-Staphylococcal nuclease: This extracellular enzyme of Staphylococcus
aureus, which is capable of hydrolyzing DNA and RNA, is inhibited, competi-
tively, by pdTp (see ref. 11 for recent review). Thymidine 3′,5′-di-p-nitro-
phenylphosphate is a substrate for this enzyme, which rapidly releases p-nitro-
phenylphosphate from the 5′-position and, slowly, p-nitrophenol from the 3′-
position.’2 The presence of a free 5′-phosphate group, however, endows various
synthetic derivatives with strong inhibitory properties.” 3′-(4-Arnino-pheny1-

phosphoryl)-deoxythymidine-5′-phosphate’0 (Fig. 1) was selected as an ideal
derivative for coupling to Sepharose for affinity chromatography, since it has
strong affinity for nuclease (K,, 10 6M), its 3′-phosphodiester bond is not cleaved
by the enzyme, it is stable at pH values of 5-10, the pK of the amino group is low,
and the amino group is relatively distant from the basic structural unit (pTp-X)
recognized by the enzymatic binding site.’2
This inhibitor could be coupled to Sepharose with high efficiency, and the re-
sulting inhibitor-Sepharose shows a high capacity for nuclease (Table 1). Col-
umns containing this substituted Sepharose completely and strongly adsorbed
samples of pure or partially purified nuclease (Fig. 2). If the amount of nuclease
applied to such columns does not exceed half of the operational capacity of the
Sepharose, virtually no enzyme activity escapes in the effluent, even after washing
with a quantity of buffer more than 50 times the bed volume of the column.
Elution of nuclease could be effected by washing with buffers having a pH inade-
quate foi binding (less than 6). The yields of protein and activity were invari-
ably greater than 90 per cent. Acetic acid (pH 3) was a convenient eluant since,
with this solvent, the protein emerged sharply (in a few tubes) and the material
could be directly lyophilized. The purity of the nuclease obtained in these
studies was confirmed by its specific activity, immunodiffusion,9 and disc gel
electrophoresis.9
Such columns can be used for rapid and effective large-scale purification of
nuclease. For example, 110 mg of pure nuclease could be obtained from a crude
nuclease concentrate (the same sample used in Fig. 2) with a 20-ml Sepharose
column in an experiment completed in 1.5 hours. When the total concentration
of protein in the sample exceeded 20-30 mg per ml, small amounts of nuclease
appeared in the first peak of protein impurities, especially if very fast flow rates
were used (400 ml/hr). However, with such flow rates, nuclease could still be
completely extracted if more dilute samples were applied. The columns used in
these experiments could be used repeatedly, and over protracted periods, without
detectable loss of effectiveness.
Nuclease treated with cyanogen bromide, which is enzymatically inactive,
was not adsorbed or retarded by the nuclease-specific Sepharose columns. Spleen
phosphodiesterase, which, like staphylococcal nuclease, hydrolyzes DNA and
RNA to yield 3′-phosphoryl derivatives but which is not inhibited by the 5′-
phosphoryl nucleotides, passed unretarded through these columns.

was afforded by the one-step purification obtained by passing a crude culture of
Staphylococcus aureus through such a nuclease-specific Sepharose column after
removal of cells by centrifugation.14 After adjustment of 500 ml to pH 8, addi-
tion of 50 ml 1 M CaCl2 was then added to ensure a calcium ion concentration
consistent with complex formation. The medium, containing about 6 ,ug of
nuclease per ml, was passed through a 1-ml column with nearly complete adsorp-
tion of nuclease activity, which was subsequently eluted with acetic acid.
Affinity columns can also be of use in the separation of active and inactive
nuclease derivatives, as from samples alkylated with iodoacetic acid15 or subjected
to proteolytic digestion.’6 The specific Sepharose adsorbent can also be used
effectively as an insoluble inhibitor to stop enzymatic reactions (Fig. 3).
a-Chymotrypsin: A number of proteolytic enzymes, of which a-chymotrypsin
and carboxypeptidase A are examples, are capable of binding, but not hydrolyz-
ing, significantly, the enantiomeric substrate analog. Therefore, the techniques
described here should be applicable to a large number of enzymes of this class.
D-tryptophan methyl ester was the inhibitor coupled to Sepharose in experi-
ments with a-chymotrypsin (Fig. 4). When this inhibitor is coupled directly to
Sepharose, incomplete and unsatisfactory resolution of the enzyme results (Fig.
4B). However, dramatically stronger adsorption of enzyme occurs if a 6-carbon
chain (eamino caproic acid) is interposed between the Sepharose matrix and the
inhibitor (Fig. 4C). This illustrates the marked steric interference that results
when the inhibitor is attached too closely to the supporting gel. The importance
of specific affinity for the enzyme binding site is illustrated by the absence of
adsorption of DFP-treated a-chymotrypsin (Fig. 4D). Impurities in commercial
a-chymotrypsin constituting 4-12 per cent, could be detected in different lots by
these techniques. Greater than 90 per cent of the activity and protein added to
these affinity columns could be recovered, and the columns could be used re-
peatedly without detectable loss of effectiveness.
It is notable that significant retention was obtained with an affinity adsorbent

methyl ester. N-acyl-D-tryptophan esters have K, values of about 0.1 mM,’7
some 100 times greater than that of the inhibitor used for purification of staphyl-
ococcal nuclease. These results suggest that unusually strong affinity constants
will not be an essential requirement for utilization of these techniques.
The relatively unfavorable affinity constant of a-chymotrypsin for the D-
tryptophan methyl ester derivatives was compensated for by coupling a very
large amount of inhibitor to the Sepharose. About 65 Mmoles of the compound
were present per milliliter of Sepharose during the coupling procedure, and there
was an uptake of 10 gmoles per ml, with a resultant effective concentration of
inhibitor, in the column, of about 10 mM. Such a high degree of substitution

occurred despite the relatively high pK of the amino group-of the e-amino caproyl
derivative. The coupling was done in 0.1 M NaHCO3 buffer, pH 9.0; higher pH
values could not be safely used because of the probability of hydrolysis of the
ester bond. The highly substituted Sepharose derivatives retained very good flow
properties.
Figure 5 illustrates the effect of pH and ionic strength on the chromatographic
patterns. Although stronger binding appears to occur with buffer of lower ionic
strength (0.01 M), this should not be used since some proteins, such as pancreatic
ribonuclease, will adsorb nonspecifically to unsubstituted or inhibitor-coupled
Sepharose under those conditions. Figure 5 shows the patterns obtained
with a number of other enzymes, emphasizing the specificity of the a-

can be readily removed from other enzymes by these techniques. This may be a
useful way of removing chymotryptic impurities from other proteases used for
structural studies, where even small traces can lead to unexpected cleavages.
It is of interest that chymotrypsinogen A is very slightly but significantly re-
tarded by the chymotrypsin-specific column (Figs. 6A and B), suggesting that
this precursor is capable of weakly recognizing this substrate analog. A proteo-
lytic enzyme of broad substrate specificity, subtilisin, is not adsorbed (Fig. 6D).
A small amount of chymotryptic-like protein could be readily separated from a
crude pancreatic digest (Fig. 6F). This material contained all of the chymo-
tryptic activity18 of the crude digest, but the exact nature of this material or the
reason for the low specific activity were not determined.
Unlike the results obtained with the nuclease-specific Sepharose system (Fig.
3), the chymotrypsin-specific Sepharose derivative was relatively ineffective. in
stopping the hydrolysis of benzoyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester when added to a reaction,
mixture. Attempts to elute a-chymotrypsin from a column, like that shown
in Figure 4, with a 0.01 M solution of the above substrate were unsuccessful.
However, elution did occur with a 0.018 M solution of 13-phenylpropionamide, an
inhibitor with a Ki of 7 mM.’9 If the Sepharose column was equilibrated and

cate, again, that the processes involved in
the separations are clearly related to the
functional affinity of the enzymatic binding
site for specific structural substances.
Carboxypeptidase A: A specific adsorbent
for this enzyme was prepared by coupling
the dipeptide, L-tyrosine-D-tryptophan, to
Sepharose. In the coupling procedure,
about 60 Mmoles of the dipeptide inhibitor
were added per milliliter of Sepharose, and
approximately 8 ,umoles per ml of Sepharose
were coupled. Figure 7 illustrates that this
enzyme was strongly adsorbed by a column
containing such a substituted Sepharose.
The yields obtained upon elution were
again quantitative.
Discussion.-In recent years there has
been considerable interest in the covalent
attachment of biologically active compounds
(i.e., enzymes, antibodies, and antigens) to
insoluble polymers.20 These materials, es-
pecially the derivatives of cellulose, have
found use in the purification of antibodies,2′

fer RNA,24 and enzymes.1-3
The principles and procedures, as illustrated and outlined in this communica-
tion, should be of value in the purification and isolation of a great many bio-
logically active proteins or polypeptides which can reversibly and specifically
bind to small molecules. If the latter are not chemically altered during the
reversible adsorption process (e.g., an inhibitor), and if an amino group can be
introduced in a region of its structure in such a way that binding to the macro-
molecule is unaffected, the procedures outlined here should be directly applicable.
Summary.-Principles and techniques for selective enzyme purification by
affinity adsorption to inhibitor-Sepharose columns are presented and illustrated
by experiments performed on staphylococcal nuclease, a-chymotrypsin, and
carboxypeptidase A. Inhibitory substrate analogs linked to Sepharose provide
adsorbents on which enzymes can be purified rapidly and completely in a single
step.
