A chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on a pepsin from porcine stomach mucosa and chicken ovomucoid (OMCHI) from egg whites has been prepared for the separation of basic and uncharged enantiomers. The Pepsin and OMCHI were mixed immobilized onto the same porous aminopropyl-silica materials using an N,N'-disuccinimidyl carbonate reaction. The retentive and enantioselective properties of the mixed protein phase (MPP), Pepsin-OMCHI CSP, were compared with those of a Pepsin CSP and an OMCHI stationary phase. The Pepsin-OMCHI CSP showed a similar enantioselectivity with the Pepsin CSP. In addition, the Pepsin-OMCHI CSP was more stable than the Pepsin CSP for repetitive injections of samples and the continuous flow of an eluent. The MPP was further stabilized by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
