✦ Synopsis
Computer simulation of affinity chromatography is a valuable tool for accurate prediction of column performance. In our study affinity pairs based on lectin and antibody interactions with carbohydrates have been used as model systems. In this well-characterized system we have demonstrated the usefulness of the simulation approach for determination of affinity and kinetics. These properties are typically difficult to obtain for many weakly interacting molecular species (i.e., when dissociation constants (K(D)) are greater than 10(-5) M). The influence of affinity and kinetics on peak broadening in affinity chromatography has also been investigated.

The interaction of immobilized metal-chelating adsorbents with a dual heterobifunctional soluble polyethylene glycol (PEG) of the form X-PEG-Y is described, where X represents an affinity ligand and Y a chelating agent. The bifunctional PEG derivative used in this study was biotin-PEG-iminodiacetic
A theoretical relationship has been developed to allow the effect of free ligand concentration on the capacity of an affinity chromatography matrix to be determined where the protein adsorbed shows co-operative binding. Computer simulations using literature values for association constants show that
