Complexes containing a biologically active or functional compound or compounds are prepared by attaching or fixing a first compound, which may be a biologically active or functional compound, to a solid substrate under conditions such that the active site of said first compound is protected, thereupon derivatizing or combining said first compound with a derivatizing or modifying compound while said first compound is attached to said solid substrate. The resulting complex or complexed first compound is then released from attachment to said solid substrate to yield the complex, said complex comprising said derivatizing compound attached to said first compound, said first compound, upon release from the solid substrate having available its functional or biologically active site. For example, alkaline phosphatase is attached to a solid substrate, such as dextran beads, preferably through a ligand, such as a competitive inhibitor for alkaline phosphatase, e.g. para-aminobenzyl-phosphonic acid (p-ABPA). The dextran beads would be first treated with (p-ABPA) and the alkaline phosphatase brought into contact with the thus-treated dextran beads. The competitive inhibitor p-ABPA serves as a ligand for attachment of the alkaline phosphatase to the dextran beads while at the same time occupying and protecting the active site of the alkaline phosphatase. Thereupon, the thus-attached alkaline phosphatase is derivatized or modified, such as by biotinylation. Upon biotinylation of the alkaline phosphatase, the resulting biotinylated alkaline phosphatase is eluted or removed from attachment to the p-ABPA treated solid substrate or dextran beads to which it was fixed, yielding a biotinylated alkaline phosphatase with the active or functional site of the alkaline phosphatase intact. The complex, while still attached to the dextran beads, could be further treated with a second compound or component which might also, if desired, provide an active or functional site, such as by contact with avidin, which would bind to the modifying or derivatizing moiety, i.e. biotin, of the biotinylated alkaline phosphatase and the thus-produced avidin-biotinylated alkaline phosphatase complex then eluted. This complex, such as a complex comprising avidin-biotinylated alkaline phosphatase, could be employed as a detector in a detection system for the identification and/or location of another compound, such as a biotinylated compound, e.g. a biotinylated nucleotide or biotinylated DNA.
制备含有一种或多种生物活性或功能性化合物的复合物的方法是:在使所述第一种化合物的活性位点受到保护的条件下,将第一种化合物(可能是一种生物活性或功能性化合物)附着或固定在固体基质上,然后在所述第一种化合物附着在所述固体基质上的同时,将所述第一种化合物与一种衍生或修饰化合物衍生或结合。然后将得到的复合物或复配的第一化合物从附着在所述固体底物上释放出来,得到复合物,所述复合物包括附着在所述第一化合物上的所述衍生化合物,所述第一化合物从固体底物上释放出来后,其功能或生物活性位点可用。例如,碱性磷酸酶最好通过配体(如碱性磷酸酶的竞争性抑制剂,如对氨基苄基膦酸(p-ABPA))附着在固体基质(如葡聚糖珠)上。首先用(p-ABPA)处理葡聚糖珠,然后让碱性磷酸酶与这样处理过的葡聚糖珠接触。竞争性抑制剂 p-ABPA 可作为配体,使碱性磷酸酶附着在葡聚糖珠上,同时占据并保护碱性磷酸酶的活性位点。然后,对这样附着的碱性磷酸酶进行衍生化或修饰,如生物素化。在对碱性磷酸酶进行生物素化后,得到的生物素化碱性磷酸酶会被洗脱或去除附着在经 p-ABPA 处理过的固体底物或葡聚糖珠上的固定物,从而得到生物素化的碱性磷酸酶,而碱性磷酸酶的活性或功能位点完好无损。当该复合物仍附着在葡聚糖珠上时,可以用第二种化合物或成分进一步处理,如果需要,这种化合物或成分还可以提供一个活性或功能位点,例如通过与阿维丁接触,与生物素化碱性磷酸酶的修饰或衍生分子(即生物素)结合,然后洗脱由此产生的阿维丁-生物素化碱性磷酸酶复合物。这种复合物,如由阿维菌素-生物素化碱性磷酸酶组成的复合物,可用作检测系统中的检测器,用于识别和/或定位另一种化合物,如生物素化化合物,如生物素化核苷酸或生物素化 DNA。
