Abstract:

Protease inhibitors have been usually isolated through a number of steps using various chromatographical methods, which are time consuming and tedious. In this report, an efficient and low-cost acrylamide affinity gel electrophoresis method for the detection and isolation of chymotrypsin inhibitor from a crude extract was studied. The affinity gel was obtained by immobilization of chymotrypsin on 5% (w/v) poly acrylamide-oleic acid gel, and the immobilized chymotrypsin showed high stability under varied concentrations of urea (0 to 8M), pH (4 to 10) and temperature (30 to 80 degrees C). The affinity gel made of immobilized chymotrypsin was applied to polyacrylamide affinity gel electrophoresis and reverse electrode electro-elution using a modified commercial electrophoresis kit. Polyacrylamide affinity gel electrophoresis method showed higher isolation efficiency for chymotrypsin inhibitor from Ganoderma lucidum crude extract than a chromatographical method. Specific activity and yield of chymotrypsin inhibitor increased around 2.3-folds and 1.4-folds, respectively, compared with a chromatographical method. Also, two isomers of the inhibitor could be isolated by this method. Therefore, this method can be applied for the detection and isolation of bio-active molecules as a fast and economical method.
