Affinity Precipitation of Proteins 47 increase in ionic strength, and hence decrease in charge repulsion, by adding NaCl facilitates precipitation of metal-bound copolymers. At relatively moderate salt concentrations of 0.4 NaCl, the metal-bound copolymers are precipitated quantitatively below 25°C (see Fig. 3 ). 5. The poly(VI-co-NIPAM) showed good chelating capacity of metal ions. Cu(II) and Ni(II) ion binding to poly(VI/NIPAM) increases initially during the first 45–60 min and then levels off toward the equilibrium level (37). The capacities of poly(VI-NIPAM) (at same VI concentrations in the copolymer) for chelating Cu(II) ions are slightly more than chelating Ni(II) ions, which can further lead to different capacities for binding the target protein (15). Our studies have shown that about two and three imidazole groups co-ordinate with each Cu(II) and Ni(II) ion, respectively (15). With about two to three imidazole ligands bound to the metal ion, one could expect binding strength of log K=6–9 (28,30), providing a significant strength of interaction. At 15 and 25 mol% VI copolymers (i.e., 1.35 and 2.16 μmole VI/mg copolymer, respectively), the Cu(II) and Ni(II) ion content bound to the copolymers was the same (about 0.6–0.7 μmole/mg copolymer). So the precipitation efficiency of Cu(II)- and Ni(II)-loaded copolymer at 15 and 25 mol% of VI, respectively for target protein, can be almost the same. 6.
