    Abstract:
    The separation of more than 30 biologically active synthetic peptides and their analogs on a high-performance immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography column is described. The metal chelating gel (TSK gel chelate-5PW) contains iminodiacetic acid (IDA) covalently coupled to a hydrophilic, resin-based matrix with a bead diameter of 10 micron. The retention of the peptides on Cu(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) ions immobilized on the chelating gel showed that some of them can be separated by isocratic elution while the majority of them are retained and are separated into distinct fractions by elution with a linear imidazole gradient or with a continuously decreasing pH gradient. Of the three immobilized metal ions investigated here, the IDA-Cu(II) chelate column gave the best resolution irrespective of the type of gradient used. This is amply illustrated by the resolution of angiotensins I and II and their seven synthetic analogs. The results obtained here serve as guidelines for the future exploitation of this separation method for the efficient fractionation of a wide variety of peptides on an analytical or preparative scale.
