In Activated Thiol-Sepharose 4B the hydrophilic glutathione residue acts as a spacer group<br />

thereby decreasing steric interference with exchange reactions at the terminal thiol group.<br />

The partial structure is shown in Figure 52.<br />

In Thiopropyl Sepharose 6B the 2-hydroxypropyl residue acts as a hydrophilic spacer<br />

group. The partial structure <strong>of</strong> Thiopropyl Sepharose 6B is shown in Figure 53.<br />

Activated Thiol Mercaptalbumin, pH 4–8, 3–16 hours, 75 cm/h* Low capacity derivative<br />

Sepharose 4B 2–3 mg +4 °C - room temp. suitable for coupling <strong>of</strong> high<br />

molecular weight substances.<br />

Thiopropyl Ceruloplasmin, pH 4–8, 3–16 hours, 75 cm/h* High capacity derivative<br />

Sepharose 6B 14 mg +4 °C - room temp. suitable for coupling <strong>of</strong> low<br />

molecular weight substances.<br />

rehydration required.<br />

*See Appendix 4 to convert linear flow (cm/h) to volumetric flow rate. Maximum operating flow is calculated from<br />

measurement in a packed column with a bed height <strong>of</strong> 10 cm <strong>and</strong> i.d. <strong>of</strong> 5 cm.<br />

Both media react spontaneously <strong>and</strong> reversibly under mild reducing conditions or in the<br />

presence <strong>of</strong> denaturing agents with substances containing thiol groups.<br />
