Abstract

Immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) has been established as a highly specific chromatographic technique for the production of enzymes and proteins including lysozyme. This study aimed to prepare and characterize the IMAC beads for lysozyme separation. Silica gel served as chromatographic matrix which has been coated with chitosan layer and crosslinked with glutaraldehyde (GTA-CTS-SiO2) since it is very convenient to promote fixation. Various IMAC ligands were immobilized by chelating 1500 mg/l Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+ and Al3+ ions, respectively on GTA-CTS-SiO2. IMAC which was immobilized with 1200mg/l Cu2+ exhibited the maximal immobilization capacity (27.08mg/g) of within 30 minutes incubation time. This fundamental study can be a momentous pathway to develop an efficient chromatographic system for lysozyme separation in the future.

Abstrak

Kromatografi afiniti logam dipegun (IMAC) telah diperlihatkan sebagai satu teknik kromatografi yang sangat spesifik untuk pengeluaran enzim dan protein termasuk lysozim. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menyediakan dan mencirikan manik IMAC bagi tujuan pemisahan lysozim. Gel silika berperanan sebagai sokongan kepada kromatografi yang telah dilapisi dengan lapisan kitosan dan diaktifkan dengan glutaraldehid (GTA-CTS-SiO2) kerana kesesuaiannya yang berupaya menggalakkan lekatan. Beberapa ligan IMAC dengan kepekatan 1500mg/l (Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+ dan Al3+ ion) telah dipegunkan pada GTA-CTS-SiO2. IMAC yang dipegunkan dengan kepekatan 1200mg/l Cu2+ menunjukkan penjerapan  kapasiti yang maksimum (27.08 mg) dalam tempoh 30 minit masa pengeraman. Kajian asas ini boleh menjadi satu anjakan dalam langkah membangunkan sistem kromatografi yang berkesan untuk pengasingan lysozim pada masa akan datang.
