A lysozyme-bonded silica column has been developed for direct separati
on of enantiomers. Lysozyme was covalently bound to porous silica mate
rials using an N,N'-disuccinimidyl carbonate reaction. By using a mixt
ure of phosphate buffer and organic modifier as an eluent, basic and u
ncharged enantiomers were resolved, while no resolution of acidic enan
tiomers was observed.
