Benzhydrylamine resin (BHAR) is a copolymer of (sl',/rene-1% divinylbenzene) containing phenylmethylamine groups and commonly used as a solid support for peptide synthesis in organic solvents. We have demonstrated that a larger number of NH3 + groups distribu ted throughout the BHAR matrix improves bead solvation under more polar conditions. As this characteristic might allow this aminated-polymer to be used as a stationary phase for liquid chromatogra-ph~ a highly substituted BHAR (2.4 mmol.g 1 of amine groups) was synthesized under forceful conditions. Neutral glycosphingolipids and negatively charged gangliosides and sulfatide obtained from rat brain extracts were successfully purified and fractionated in this BHAR batch by single-step, reverse-phase anion-exchange chromatography. Additionally the anion-exchange potential of BHAR was also compared to that of commercial dimethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-SephadexA25 resin.
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.
