Enzyme leakage and multipoint attachment of agarose-bound enzyme preparations.

The solvolytic detachment of leucine aminopeptidase from Sepharose-enzyme conjugates with multiple and single anchoring bonds has been studied under a variety of conditions by radiochemical and enzymological methods. The release of the single-point-fixed conjugate could be described by a leakage function, derived previously, yielding the first-order rate constant of the cleavage of the enzyme-matrix bond. The nucleophile hydroxylamine increased the detachment rate considerably. The release of the immobilized enzyme was incomplete in all experiments even after prolonged times. The enzyme leakage from multipoint-attached conjugates was still high enough to prohibit a long-term use of such preparations in routine work at room temperature.
