Chromatographic evaluation of structure selective and enantioselective retention of amines and acids on cellobiohydrolase I wild type and its mutant D214N
The mechanisms of structure selective and enantioselective retentions of amines and acids on two chiral stationary phases based on wild type cellobiohydrolase I (CBH I) and its mutant D214N have been investigated. All the amino alcohols tested had an enantioselective site that overlaps with the catalytically active site of CBH I, whereas the enantioselectivity of prilocaine was not affected by the mutation. The hydroxyl group of the amino alcohols did not seem to be an important contributor to the total binding strength whereas a bromo substituent in the aromatic ring promotes a high enantioselectivity (α
