This resulted in the structural incorporation of nickel ions within well-defined microspheres, which were suitable for chromatographic applications. The chromatographic experiments were conducted with NiSHAp and compared with spray-dried hydroxyapatite (SHAp) matrices. Protein purification experiments were conducted using refolded recombinant L-asparaginase (L-Asp), which was produced as inclusion bodies in <i>Escherichia coli</i>. The results showed that NiSHAp effectively adsorbed L-Asp, which was selectively eluted using a phosphate buffer, surpassing the efficiency of imidazole-based elution.
