Efficient wheat germ agglutinin purification with a chitosan‐based affinity chromatographic matrix

Abstract: An efficient affinity chromatographic matrix based on chitosan for wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) purification was developed. The matrices assayed consisted of chitosan mini-spheres cross-linked with epichlorhydrin 45, 250 or 500 mM. The maximum adsorption capacity of pure WGA - calculated from the corresponding isotherms - was between 43.2 and 48.9 mg/g at pH 5.0 and between 16.6 and 27.6 mg/g at pH 8.5. However, the adsorption of agglutinin from wheat germ extract was higher at pH 8.5. In addition, 0.5 g of min… Show more

“…Due to its free amino and hydroxyl groups in its structure, chitosan is susceptible to undergo chemical modifications . Both chitin and chitosan present the advantage of being natural, biodegradable and environmentally safe biopolymers . Both polymers have many potential uses and applications in different fields that are gaining interest.…”
