Extraction by this soluble affinity ligand of proteins is due to a selective interaction of the chelated metal ion with accessible histidine residues on the protein surface. Using Cu-iminodiacetate-PEG (Cu-IDA-PEG) the surface of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes from different species was probed for the presence of metal chelate binding sites. It was demonstrated that the homotetramers (LDH-1)(H4) from rabbit, bovine and pig displayed weak binding to chelated copper whereas the M4-type isoenzymes (LDH-5) bound strongly to this ligand. The binding of the different heterotetramers increases as the number of M-type subunits increases. In contrast, the human isoenzymes are bound to chelated copper in a reversed sequence. The comparison of the affinity partitioning effect of Cu-IDA-PEG in PEG-salt and PEG-dextran systems revealed that the discriminatory effect of copper is promoted by high salt concentrations. Resolution of isoenzymes by multiple extraction using counter-current distribution provides valuable data on the partitioning of enzymes relative to that of the bulk proteins. The efficacy of metal chelate affinity partitioning for the purification of LDH from tissue samples by batchwise extraction was also demonstrated.</p>","PeriodicalId":15508,"journal":{"name":"Journal of chromatography","volume":"644 1","pages":"25-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0021-9673(93)80116-p","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18694736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SFE conditions required to extract PCBs and milk fat from freeze-dried milk were investigated, and it was found that although extraction was rapid (10 min), the conditions required were identical so that there was no separation of PCBs and fat. However, SFC conditions have been developed that permit the resolution of PCBs from milk fat in 15 min.
