Fe3+-hydroxamate as immobilized metal affinity-adsorbent for protein chromatography.

The adsorbent glycinehydroxamate-Sepharose 6B, charged with Fe3+ under specified conditions, is reported. It was used at various pH values for chromatography of the following proteins: lysozyme, cytochrome c, avidin, bovine pancreatic RNase, myoglobin, ovalbumin and human serum albumin. The common naturally occurring amino acids were tested for their interactions with the new sorbent under neutral conditions.
