弱阳离子交换色谱中疏水作用对蛋白保留的影响

选取了四种常用的弱阳离子交换(WCX)商品柱以研究标准蛋白在其上的色谱保留行为。发现在疏水色谱(HIC)模式下,蛋白在这四种WCX商品柱上也有不同程度的保留特征,且洗脱曲线呈现出保留值随盐浓度变化的"U"型。从分子力学角度定性解释了因疏水相互作用力的存在影响了蛋白在WCX色谱柱上洗脱顺序的改变。运用计量置换理论(SDT)中的两组线性方程进一步证实了WCX和HIC中蛋白与固定相间相互作用力的性质,在HIC中为非选择性作用力,而在离子交换色谱(IEC)中为选择性作用力。这四种色谱柱中的两种事实上可在WCX和HIC两种模式下,对标准蛋白进行分离且有较好的分离效果,有可能作为二维色谱柱来使用。

通过考察盐溶盐和盐析盐浓度对蛋白质在IDA裸柱和金属螯合柱上保留行为的影响,详细研究了金属螯合色谱中的疏水作用,疏水作用的发生、形成的条件以及不同条件下对蛋白质保留值的贡献。实验结果表明,在高浓度和低浓度的盐溶盐以及低浓度盐析盐中,蛋白质在金属螯合柱上的保留主要受静电和配位作用控制,而疏水作用对蛋白质的保留影响很小。对弱亲和性的金属螯合柱以静电作用为主,其大小可用参数Q表征;对强亲和性的IDA-Cu（Ⅱ）柱以配位作用为主。仅在高浓度的盐析盐中,金属螯合柱才呈现较强的疏水作用,支配蛋白质保留。实验证明,金属螯合色谱中疏水作用主要来自固定相间隔臂中的疏水碳链和盐析盐对蛋白质的增疏作用,利用这种疏水作用有可能改善金属螯合色谱分离的选择性。

Preparation and characterization of a novel dual‐retention mechanism mixed‐mode stationary phase with PEG 400 and succinic anhydride as ligand for protein separation in WCX and HIC modes

A novel dual‐retention mechanism mixed‐mode stationary phase based on silica gel functionalized with PEG 400 and succinic anhydride as the ligand was prepared and characterized by infrared spectra and elemental analysis. Because of the ligand containing PEG 400 and carboxyl function groups, it displayed hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) characteristic in a high‐salt‐concentration mobile phase, and weak cation exchange chromatography (WCX) characteristic in a low‐salt‐concentration mobile phase. As a result, it can be employed to separate proteins with both WCX and HIC modes. The resolution and selectivity of the stationary phase was evaluated under both HIC and WCX modes with protein standards, and its performance was comparable to that of conventional ion‐exchange chromatography and HIC columns. The results indicated that the novel dual‐retention mechanism column, in many cases, could replace two individual WCX and HIC columns as a ‘2D column’. In addition, the mixed retention mechanism of proteins on this ‘2D column’ was investigated with stoichiometric displacement theory for retention of solute in liquid chromatography in detail in order to understand why the dual‐retention mechanism column has high resolution and selectivity for protein separation under WCX and HIC modes, respectively. Based on this ‘2D column’, a new 2DLC technology with a single column was developed. It is very important in proteome research and recombinant protein drug production to save column expense and simplify the processes in biotechnology. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preparation of a weak anion exchange/hydrophobic interaction dual‐function mixed‐mode chromatography stationary phase for protein separation using click chemistry

In this study, 3‐diethylamino‐1‐propyne was covalently bonded to the azide‐silica by a click reaction to obtain a novel dual‐function mixed‐mode chromatography stationary phase for protein separation with a ligand containing tertiary amine and two ethyl groups capable of electrostatic and hydrophobic interaction functionalities, which can display hydrophobic interaction chromatography character in a high‐salt‐concentration mobile phase and weak anion exchange character in a low‐salt‐concentration mobile phase employed for protein separation. As a result, it can be employed to separate proteins with weak anion exchange and hydrophobic interaction modes, respectively. The resolution and selectivity of the stationary phase were evaluated in both hydrophobic interaction and ion exchange modes with standard proteins, respectively, which can be comparable to that of conventional weak anion exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography columns. Therefore, the synthesized weak anion exchange/hydrophobic interaction dual‐function mixed‐mode chromatography column can be used to replace two corresponding conventional weak anion exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography columns to separate proteins. Based on this mixed‐mode chromatography stationary phase, a new off‐line two‐dimensional liquid chromatography technology using only a single dual‐function mixed‐mode chromatography column was developed. Nine kinds of tested proteins can be separated completely using the developed method within 2.0 h.     

Retention model of protein for mixedmode interaction mechanism in ion exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography

A unified retention equation of proteins was proved to be valid for a mixed-mode interaction mechanism in ion exchange chromatography (IEC) and hydrophobia interaction chro-matography (HIC). The reason to form a "U" shape retention curve of proteins hi both HIC and IEC was explained and the concentration range of the strongest elution ability for the mobile phase was determined with this equation. The parameters in this equation could be used to characterize the difference for either HIC or IEC adsorbents and the changes in the molecular conformation of proteins. With the parameters in this equation, the contributions of salt and water in the mobile phase to the protein retention in HIC and IEC were discussed, respectively. In addition, the comparison between the unified equation and Melander' s three-parameter equation for mixed-mode interaction chromatography was also investigated and better results were obtained in former equation.     

Comparison and evaluation of HIC columns of different hydrophobicity

Summary Retention and selectivity in hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) depend both on the type of stationary phase and on the mobile phase. In the last few years various high performance packing materials and columns have been introduced for HIC resulting in a range of different retentions and selectivity. We have investigated the effect of the stationary phase on the retention of various proteins. The retention of some solutes of different hydrophobicities were measured on three commercial HIC columns (TSK-Phenyl, Synchropack-Propyl, CAA-HIC) under isocratic conditions using water-methanol mixtures as eluent. The log k_w values determined according to the literature were devalues determined according to the literature were dependent on the type and structure of the stationary phase and indicated a much less hydrophobic character for these columns than that obtained for reversed phase columns. Gradient separations were then carried out on a standard protein mixture using ammonium sulfate and sodium citrate to change the gradient time. In order to compare the effect of the stationary phase and the two salts investigated apparent capacity factors (k_g) were determined and plotted against the gradient time obtained for the three columns in the two eluent system. It was shown that the type of stationary phase had a significant effect on the retention of proteins. In addition, the effect of the mobile phase composition, i.e. salt type, was considerably different on the various stationary phases. In order to exploit the potential of HIC to modulate selectivity for the separation of proteins, the combined effect of the stationary phase and the type of salt should be taken into account.Dedicated to Professor Leslie S. Ettre on the occasion of his 70th birthday.     

亲水作用色谱柱与阳离子交换树脂柱结合分离无机离子（英文）

A combination of hydrophilic interaction chromatographic(HILIC) column and a weakly acidic cation-exchange resin(WCX) column was used for simultaneous separation of inorganic anions and cations by ion chromatography(IC).Firstly,the capability of HILIC column for the separation of analyte ions was evaluated under acidic eluent conditions.The columns used were SeQuant ZIC-HILIC(ZIC-HILIC) with a sulfobetaine-zwitterion stationary phase(ZIC-HILIC) and Acclaim HILIC-10 with a diol stationary phase(HILIC-10).When using tartaric acid as the eluent,the HILIC columns indicated strong retentions for anions,based on ion-pair interaction.Especially,HILIC-10 could strongly retain anions compared with ZIC-HILIC.The selectivity for analyte anions of HILIC-10 with 5 mmol/L tartaric acid eluent was in the order of I-> NO-3 > Br-> Cl-> H2PO-4.However,since HILIC-10 could not separate analyte cations,a WCX column(TSKgel Super IC-A/C) was connected after the HILIC column in series.The combination column system of HILIC and WCX columns could successfully separate ten ions(Na+,NH+4,K+,Mg2+,Ca2+,H2PO-4,Cl-,Br-,NO-3 and I-) with elution of 4 mmol/L tartaric acid plus 8 mmol/L 18-crown-6.The relative standard deviations(RSDs) of analyte ions by the system were in the ranges of 0.02%-0.05% in retention times and 0.18%-5.3% in peak areas through three-time successive injections.The limits of detection at signal-to-noise ratio of 3 were 0.24-0.30 μmol/L for the cations and 0.31-1.2 μmol/L for the anions.This system was applied for the simultaneous determination of the cations and the anions in a vegetable juice sample with satisfactory results.     

Mixed retention mechanism of proteins in weak anion-exchange chromatography

Using four commercial weak anion-exchange chromatography (WAX) columns and 11 kinds of different proteins, we experimentally examined the involvement of hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) mechanism in protein retention on the WAX columns. The HIC mechanism was found to operate in all four WAX columns, and each of these columns had a better resolution in the HIC mode than in the corresponding WAX mode. Detailed analysis of the molecular interactions in a chromatographic system indicated that it is impossible to completely eliminate hydrophobic interactions from a WAX column. Based on these results, it may be possible to employ a single WAX column for protein separation by exploiting mixed modes (WAX and HIC) of retention. The stoichiometric displacement theory and two linear plots were used to show that mechanism of the mixed modes of retention in the system was a combination of two kinds of interactions, i.e., nonselective interactions in the HIC mode and selective interactions in the IEC mode. The obtained U-shaped elution curve of proteins could be distinguished into four different ranges of salt concentration, which also represent four retention regions.     

Preparation of poly(vinyltetrazole) chain-grafted poly(glycidymethacrylate-co-ethylenedimethacrylate) beads by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization for the use in weak cation exchange and hydrophilic interaction chromatography

A novel stationary phase for weak cation exchange (WCX) and hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) was prepared with surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP). Vinyltetrazole was grafted onto the surface of the beads in water medium with the polyglycidylmethacrylate beads (P_GMA/EDMA) previously modified with 2-bromoisobutryl bromide as the macromolecule initiators and CuCl as catalyst. The poly(vinyltetrazole)-grafted beads obtained with different atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) formulations were tried as chromatographic packings in ion-exchange chromatography. The results showed that the prepared columns could separate the tested proteins with high efficiency and high capacity, and the retention time of protein had a positive relationship with increasing the chain lengths of the grafted poly(vinyltetrazole) (PVT). The prepared column was also found to be able to separate nucleosides by hydrophilic interaction chromatographic mode.
