Pedro Cuatrecasas*·! and Indu Parikh abstract: Procedures are described for the preparation of the W-hydroxysuccimmide ester of succinylated aminoalkyl agarose derivatives. These active ester derivatives of agarose are stable for months when stored in dioxane. The reaction of the active ester of agarose with various amino acids and with trypsin has been studied in detail. Stable amide linkages are formed very rapidly (at 4) with the unprotonated form of primary aliphatic or aromatic amino groups in the pH range of 6-9. Of the amino acid functional groups tested, only sulfhy-dryl groups compete effectively with free amino groups for reaction. The iV-hydroxysuccinimide ester derivative of vV arious procedures have been described for the prepara-tion of selective agarose adsorbents for use in affinity chromatography of proteins (Cuatrecasas et al., 1968; Porath et al., 1967; Cuatrecasas, 1970, 1972; Cuatrecasas and Anfinsen, 1971a, b). There is abundant evidence that successful purifica-tion of enzymes frequently depends on utilizing an adsorbent in which the ligand is spatially separated from the matrix backbone (reviewed by Cuatrecasas, 1972). This is generally best accomplished by linking the ligand to agarose derivatives which contain lengthy hydrocarbon extensions terminating in a functional moiety such as a primary amino group or a car-f From the Department of Medicine and the Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland 21205.

The coupled products are separated from the matrix backbone by lengthy hydrocarbon extensions. Similar procedures can be used toattach ligands and proteins to porous glass beads. These studies in addition demonstrate that agarose beads tolerate quite well certain organic solvents such as dioxane and methanol. The activated agarose deriva-tives, after lyophilization to remove dioxane, are quite stable in the powder form and readily swell and react with amino groups when suspended in aqueous medium. boxyl group. A variety of chemical reactions have been used to couple ligands to such “long-armed” agarose derivatives (Cuatrecasas, 1972). However, no generally applicable pro-cedure is available for coupling ligands such as amino acids which contain more than one functional group without using complicated blocking and deblocking procedures of one or more of these groups. Furthermore, it has heretofore been very difficult to covalently attach proteins to any solid support which contains functional groups (eg, amino, carboxyl, di-azonium, bromoacetyl) without coupling through the tyrosyl or histidyl residues of the protein or without introducing inter-molecular protein cross-links and polymerization. This report describes in detail the preparation and use of active carboxylic acid esters of long-armed agarose derivatives which are stable in anhydrous media over prolonged periods of time. Ligands and proteins which contain free amino groups can be coupled very rapidly through amide linkage to these activated derivatives under mild conditions (aqueous biochemistry, vol. 11, no. 1 2, 1 9 7 2 2291
