The reinvestigation of the affinity chromatographic method of purifying papain has been carried out. It has been reported that papain could be purified by taking advantage of the affinity of the enzyme for the insolubilized peptide inhibitor, agarose-Gly-Gly-Tyr(Bz)-Arg. Using pure tetrapeptide obtained commercially and standard coupling procedures, a significant purification of papain could not be achieved. Both active and nonactivatible enzyme bound to a column prepared in this manner were eluted together by the use of deionized water. An affinity medium with properties similar to those reported by Blumberg et al. was obtained by removal of the benzyl group on tyrosine prior to coupling with agarose. The deprotected tetrapeptide was also synthesized by an independent route and inhibition constants for the binding of the protected and deprotected tetrapeptide to papain were determined in kinetic experiments.
