Popis: Chromatography on affinity adsorbents containing polynucleotide ligands dates back to 1968 when successful purification of micrococcal DNA poly- merase on a column containing DNA immobilized onto cellulose after irradiation with ultraviolet light was described by Rose Litman [1]. In the same year both Bruce Alberts [2] and Peter Gilham [3] independently suggested new methods for the prep- aration of adsorbents containing nucleic acids follow- ing earlier attempts mainly with oligonucleotides [4,5] or heavily damaged DNA [6,7] linked to different insoluble supports. Since that time, affinity chro- matography using immobilized nucleic acids has established itself as a useful technique [8-10] which has recently received diverse apphcations in molec- ular biology [11-20]. The following discussion summarizes the most significant methods of immobilization of poly- nucleotides and analyses applications of the affinity adsorbents obtained.
