Popis: Integration of the advantages of immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) and magnetic microspheres is considered as an ideal pathway for quick and convenient separation of his-tagged proteins, but rare reports concern the natural histidine-rich proteins. In this article, a novel route was presented to fabricate magnetic microspheres composed of a high-magnetic-response magnetic supraparticle (Fe3O4) core and a Ni2+-immobilized cross-linked polyvinyl imidazole (PVIM) shell via reflux-precipitation polymerization. The unique as-prepared Fe3O4/PVIM-Ni2+ microspheres possessed uniform flower-like structure, high magnetic responsiveness, abundant binding sites, and very easy synthesis process. Taking advantage of the pure PVIM-Ni2+ interface and high Ni2+ loading amount, the microspheres exhibited remarkable selectivity, excellent sensitivity, large enrichment capacity, and high recyclability in immobilization and separation of his-tagged recombinant proteins. More interestingly, it was found that...
