Application

When immobilized using an insoluble porous support matrix such as agarose, Cibacron Blue 3GA is used for affinity chromatography purification of enzymes. This affinity has been attributed to a structural similarity between the dye and the natural ligands for proteins with cofactor binding domains.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cibacron Blue 3GA is an anionic anthraquinone dye. It acts as a P2-purinoceptor antagonist and inhibits stimulus-evoked glutamate release by rat brain cortical tissue. Cibacron Blue 3GA inhibits OXA-1 and OXA-2 β-lactamases and was used to observe the binding of ligands to OXA-1 β-lactamase by monitoring tryptophan fluorescence.

Although beta-lactamases do not require any nucleotide co-substrates, the OXA-2 type is inhibited competitively by Cibacron Blue 3GA, and by other anthraquinone dyes, including some simpler compounds with no side chain. The enzyme causes a red shift in the spectrum

Evidence has previously been presented that P1 receptors for adenosine, and P2 receptors for nucleotides such as ATP, regulate stimulus-evoked release of biogenic amines from nerve terminals in the brain. Here we investigated whether adenosine and nucleotides exert presynaptic control
