*Long term refers to the pH interval over which the medium is stable over a long period <strong>of</strong> time without adverse effects<br />
on its subsequent chromatographic performance. Short term refers to the pH interval for regeneration, cleaning-in-place<br />
<strong>and</strong> sanitization procedures.<br />
Chemical stability<br />
Stable in all commonly used aqueous buffers, 70% ethanol, 8 M urea <strong>and</strong> 6 M guanidine<br />
hydrochloride.<br />
Storage<br />
Wash media <strong>and</strong> columns with 20% ethanol (use approximately 5 column volumes for<br />
packed media) <strong>and</strong> store at +4 to +8 °C.<br />
NAD+-dependent dehydrogenases <strong>and</strong> ATP-dependent kinases<br />
5' AMP Sepharose 4B, HiTrap Blue HP, Blue Sepharose 6 Fast Flow<br />
NAD + -dependent dehydrogenases <strong>and</strong> ATP-dependent kinases interact strongly with 5' AMP<br />
so that selective elution with gradients <strong>of</strong> NAD + or NADP + enables the resolution <strong>of</strong><br />
complex mixtures <strong>of</strong> dehydrogenase isoenzymes, using 5' AMP Sepharose 4B.<br />
Synthesis <strong>of</strong> 5' AMP Sepharose 4B takes place in several steps. Diaminohexane is linked to<br />
AMP via the N 6 <strong>of</strong> the purine ring. The derivatized AMP is then coupled to Sepharose 4B<br />
via the aminohexane spacer.<br />
NAD + -dependent dehydrogenases <strong>and</strong> ATP-dependent kinases are also members <strong>of</strong> a larger<br />
group <strong>of</strong> proteins that will interact with Cibacron Blue F3G-A, a synthetic polycyclic dye<br />
that shows certain structural similarities to the c<strong>of</strong>actor NAD + . When used as an affinity<br />
lig<strong>and</strong> attached to Sepharose 6 Fast Flow or Sepharose HP, Cibacron Blue F3G-A will bind<br />
strongly <strong>and</strong> specifically to a wide range <strong>of</strong> proteins. Some proteins bind specifically due to<br />
their requirement for nucleotide c<strong>of</strong>actors, while others, such as albumin, lipoproteins,<br />
blood coagulation factors <strong>and</strong> interferon, bind in a less specific manner by electrostatic<br />
<strong>and</strong>/or hydrophobic interactions with the aromatic anionic lig<strong>and</strong>.<br />
