Abstract
Immobilization of SH group-containing compounds on a solvent-insoluble support is carried out in the presence of an antioxidant to prevent oxidation of SH groups to S—S bonds. This improves immobilization efficiency and suppresses deterioration of inherent characteristics of the SH group-containing compound. Antioxidants include sodium pyrosulfite (sodium disulfite), sodium sulfite, sodium hydrogensulfite, sodium hydrosulfite and L-ascorbic acid. SH group-containing compounds include cysteine, peptides or proteins containing cysteine and thiol compounds such as ethanethiol, aminoethanethiol, benzylthiol and thiophenol. Preferably, the SH group-containing compound has a molecular weight not more than 3×10,. The support may be activated by a functional group such as glycidyl, imidocarbonato, tosyl, tresyl, carboxyl, amino, azido or hydroxyl. The support can be inorganic such as glass beads or organic such as a synthetic polymer or a polysaccharide.
