Protocol for the optimization of absorption condition for dye-ligand affinity chromotography. Generally, low pH and low ionic strength, absence of phosphate ions, and the presence of divalent metals ions increase the binding of proteins to immobilized triazine dyes. - [Read Optimization of Adsorption Conditions for Dye-Ligand Affinity Chromatography Protocol]
Triazine dyes, such as Cibacron Blue 3GA, can be linked to a hexyl spacer arm and then immobilized on a polyhydroxyl support matrix that has been activated with either 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole or epichlorohydrin. An alternative procedure for immobilizing dyes using the direct coupling method is provided in Immobilization of Dyes on Polyhydroxyl Matrices Using the Direct Coupling Method. - [Read Preparation of Affinity-Ligand Resins by Immobilization of Dyes on Polyhydroxyl Matrices]
