Background:

Peptidic ligands require specific structural features, like free alpha-amino groups, for effective target recognition.
Immobilization of ligands onto solid supports is crucial for applications like affinity purification.
Existing methods may not preserve the optimal conformation of peptidic ligands for binding.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a direct immobilization procedure for peptidic ligands on preactivated affinity supports.
To ensure that immobilized peptidic ligands maintain proper orientation and accessibility for target binding.
To enable efficient affinity purification using specifically designed multimeric peptide ligands.

Main Methods:

Solid-phase peptide synthesis was employed using an octa-branched heptalysine core and a polyglycine spacer.
Peptides were deblocked, dialyzed, lyophilized, and directly coupled to preactivated affinity supports.
A multimeric tripeptide ligand (Met-Tyr-Phe) was synthesized and immobilized for bovine neurophysin purification.

Main Results:

A synthetic procedure for direct immobilization of peptidic ligands was successfully established.
The immobilization strategy resulted in a limited number of covalently linked peptide chains, with others exposed.
The designed multimeric tripeptide ligand demonstrated effective affinity purification of bovine neurophysin.

Conclusions:

The developed procedure facilitates the oriented immobilization of peptidic ligands, preserving their binding capabilities.
This method offers a versatile approach for creating affinity supports with enhanced ligand accessibility.
The successful application in purifying bovine neurophysin highlights the potential of this technique in biochemical research and applications.
