Abstract: The synthesis of an affinity gel aimed at leaf-opening factor beta-glucosidase (LOFG) and affinity purification of LOFG is presented. A gluconamidine-based beta-glucosidase inhibitor was used as the ligand of the affinity gel. beta-Glucosidase exhibiting an activity shift throughout the day was selectively purified from Lespedeza cuneata Don by the affinity gel. The resulting LOFG exhibited high substrate specificity toward the leaf-opening factor.
