The aim of this study is to prepare supermacroporous pseudospecific cryogel which can be used for the purification of plasmid DNA (pDNA) from bacterial lysate. N-methacryloyl-(l)-histidine methyl ester (MAH) was chosen as the pseudospecific ligand and/or comonomer. Poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate-N-methacryloyl-(l)-histidine methyl ester) [PHEMAH] cryogel was produced by free radical polymerization initiated by N,N,N',N'-tetramethylene diamine (TEMED) and ammonium persulfate (APS) pair in an ice bath. Compared with the PHEMA cryogel (50 μg/g polymer), the pDNA adsorption capacity of the PHEMAH cryogel (13,350 μg/g polymer) was improved significantly due to the MAH incorporation into the polymeric matrix. The amount of pDNA bound onto the PHEMAH cryogel disks first increased and then reached a saturation value (i.e., 13,350μg/g) at around 300 μg/ml pDNA concentration. pDNA adsorption amount decreased from 1137 μg/g to 160 μg/g with the increasing NaCl concentration. The maximum pDNA adsorption was achieved at 25 °C. The overall recovery of pDNA was calculated as 90%. The PHEMAH cryogel could be used 3 times without decreasing the pDNA adsorption capacity significantly. The results indicate that the PHEMAH cryogel disks promise high selectivity for pDNA.
本研究旨在制备可用于从细菌裂解物中纯化质粒 DNA(pDNA)的超大孔假特异性 cryogel。选择 N-丙烯酰基-(l)-组氨酸甲酯(MAH)作为假特异性配体和/或共聚单体。聚(羟乙基甲基丙烯酸酯-N-丙烯酰基-(l)-组氨酸甲酯)[PHEMAH] cryogel 通过在冰浴中由 N,N,N',N'-四亚甲基二胺(TEMED)和过硫酸铵(APS)引发的自由基聚合产生。与 PHEMA cryogel(50 μg/g 聚合物)相比,由于 MAH 掺入聚合物基质,PHEMAH cryogel 的 pDNA 吸附能力(13,350 μg/g 聚合物)显著提高。PHEMAH cryogel 盘上结合的 pDNA 量首先增加,然后在约 300μg/ml pDNA 浓度时达到饱和值(即 13,350μg/g)。随着 NaCl 浓度的增加,pDNA 吸附量从 1137μg/g 下降到 160μg/g。pDNA 的最大吸附在 25°C 时达到。pDNA 的总体回收率计算为 90%。PHEMAH cryogel 可以使用 3 次而不会显著降低 pDNA 吸附能力。结果表明,PHEMAH cryogel 盘对 pDNA 具有高选择性。
