the column may be saturated; it depends on how you carry out the
purification. Is the blue dye column the first step of the purification
procedure ? In this case, other enzymes may have a higher affinity for the
blue cibacron and so compete with the dehydrogenase that you want to
isolate. You can add a pre purification step: for instance, gel filtration
or ion exchange chromatography in order to obtain a fraction able to be
eluted specifically from the blue dye column.
