用疏水色谱复性并同时纯化蛋白质的机理及其应用

变性蛋白表面的疏水氨基酸残基有与疏水色谱固定相(STHIC)颗粒相互作用的倾向, 两者之间的疏水相互作用能够抑制变性蛋白分子间的相互聚集. 同时疏水色谱固定相还能在分子水平上给变性蛋白分子提供足够高的能量, 使其瞬时脱水并折叠成其天然构象或不同的折叠中间体. 变性蛋白在疏水界面上的折叠不仅取决于其氨基酸之间的特异性相互作用及疏水色谱固定相的结构, 而且还取决于固定相和流动相之间的协同作用. 同时, 还提出了高效疏水相互色谱(HPHIC)进行蛋白折叠的机理及其进行蛋白折叠时能实现质量控制的原理. 在适当的色谱条件下, HPHIC 可使几种变性蛋白一步实现复性及同时纯化. 此外, 还设计制造出了直径比柱长大得多的实验室型和制备型“变性蛋白复性及同时纯化装置, USRPP”, 该“装置”具有完全除去变性剂、使蛋白质复性, 与杂蛋白分离及易于回收变性剂的“一石四鸟”功能. 该“装置”对变性蛋白的复性和纯化效率与通常使用的长柱相当. 在制备规模情况下, 该“装置”可以在低压梯度条件下简便、快速、而经济地应用于重组蛋白药物的制备. 文中以重组人干扰素-γ为例, 说明了制备型“装置”在其复性及同时纯化生产工艺中的应用.

一种金属螯合连续棒色谱柱的制备及色谱性能

金属螯合色谱（IMAC）在生物大分子的分离和纯化中有广泛的应用,通过改变IMAC的洗脱条件和被螯合的金属离子种类,生物大分子可获得选择性分离。目前,IMAC通常以有机和无机微球作固定相,由于柱死体积的存在,使色谱柱空间利用率低,且降低了蛋白质分离的柱效。近年报道的连续棒色谱柱是由直径1μm左右的微粒堆积而成的整体,消除了色谱柱的死体积,该类色谱柱用于蛋白的反相、疏水、离子交换和亲和色谱分离均可获得高的分离效率。然而,至今尚未见到对金属螯合连续棒色谱柱制备及应用的研究报道。对蛋白的IMAC分离机理研究中,研究流动相pH对分离的影响是主要手段之一,但通常研究的pH值的5.0-9.0的窄范围内。本文提出和制备了以交联聚甲基丙烯酸缩水甘油酯连续棒为基质的金属螯合色谱柱,并研究了pH在2.0-11.0的较宽范围内对蛋白保留的影响。

Modeling of overloaded gradient elution of nociceptin/orphanin FQ in reversed-phase liquid chromatography

The Reversed-phase (RP) gradient elution chromatography of nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ), a neuropeptide with many biological effects, has been modeled under linear and non-linear conditions. In order to do this, the chromatographic behavior has been studied under both linear and nonliner conditions under isocratic mode at different mobile phase compositions--ranging from 16 to 19% (v/v) acetonitrile (ACN) in aqueous trifluoracetic acid (TFA) 0.1% (v/v)-on a C-8 column. Although the range of mobile phase compositions investigated was quite narrow, the retention factor of this relatively small polypeptide (N/OFQ is a heptadecapeptide) has been found to change by more than 400%. In these conditions, gradient operation resulted thus to be the optimum approach for non-linear elution. As the available amount of N/OFQ was extremely reduced (only a few milligrams), the adsorption isotherms of the peptide, at the different mobile phase compositions examined, have been measured through the so-called inverse method (IM) on a 5 cm long column. The adsorption data at different mobile phase compositions have been fitted to several models of adsorption. The dependence of the isotherm parameters on the mobile phase composition was modeled by using the linear solvent strength (LSS) model and a generalized Langmuir isotherm that includes the mobile phase composition dependence. The overloaded gradient separation of N/OFQ has been modeled by numerically solving the equilibrium-dispersive (ED) model of chromatography under a selected gradient elution mode, on the basis of the previously determined generalized Langmuir isotherm. The agreement between theoretical calculations and experimental overloaded band profiles appeared reasonably accurate.     

Development of dual gradient column in liquid chromatography

The dual gradient column, in which both the chemical property of the stationary phase and the flow velocity in the mobile phase are heterogeneous longitudinally along the column, is developed to obtain the mobile phase gradient-like elution in an isocratic condition. Here, the step-wise dual gradient columns were prepared by connecting an inlet column (I.D. 50 microm, packed with ODS) serially to an outlet column (I.D. 100-200 microm, packed with the mixture of ODS and C1 [9:1]). The retention behavior of alkylbenzenes was able to be controlled in the dual gradient column depending on the variation in the flow velocity. Moreover, the change in retention behavior induced by the flow velocity variation for the dual gradient columns was quite different from that by the variation in organic modifier content of the mobile phase in isocratic elution for a single gradient column and can induce the similar effect with an ordinary gradient elution in a mobile phase composition.     

Overloaded gradient elution chromatography on heterogeneous adsorbents in reversed-phase liquid chromatography

Overloaded band profiles of phenol were measured on a C18-Kromasil column in gradient elution conditions. The mobile phase used was a mixture of methanol and water. The volume fraction of methanol was allowed to vary between 0 and 0.5. A general adsorption model, which expresses the amount of phenol adsorbed q* as a function of both its concentration C and the composition phi of the organic modifier (methanol) in the mobile phase, was empirically derived from previous independent adsorption experiments based on frontal analysis (FA) and frontal analysis by the characteristic point (FACP). Accordingly, the general model was an extension of the simplest heterogeneous model, the Bilangmuir model, to non-isocratic conditions. The low-energy sites followed the classical linear solvent strength model (LSSM), but not the high-energy sites whose saturation capacity linearly decreased with phi. The general model was validated by comparing the experimental and simulated band profiles in gradient elution conditions, in linear and non-linear conditions, as well. The band profiles were calculated by means of the equilibrium-dispersive model of chromatography with a finite difference algorithm. A very good agreement was observed using steps gradient (delta phi) from 0 to 50% methanol and gradient times t(g) of 20, 25, 30, 40, 60, 80 and 100 min. The agreement was still excellent for steps gradient from 5 to 45% (t(g) = 25 min), 5 to 35% (t(g) = 50 min), 5 to 25% (t(g) = 50 min) and 5 to 15% (t(g) = 50 min). Significative differences appeared between experience and simulation when the slope of the gradient (delta phi/t(g)) became too strong beyond 3.3% methanol per minute. This threshold value probably mirrored the kinetic of arrangement of the G18-bonded chains when the methanol content increased in the mobile phase. It suggested that the chromatographic system was not in a full thermodynamic equilibrium state when very steep mobile phase gradients were applied.     

Microfabricated refractive index gradient based detector for reversed-phase liquid chromatography with mobile phase gradient elution

Typical refractive index (RI) detectors for liquid chromatography (LC) are not well suited to application with mobile phase gradient elution, due to the difficulty in correcting for the detected baseline shift during the gradient. We report a sensitive, highly reproducible, microfabricated refractive index gradient (micro-RIG) detector that performs well with mobile phase gradient elution LC. Since the micro-RIG signal remains on-scale throughout the mobile phase gradient, one can apply a baseline correction procedure. We demonstrate that by collecting two mobile phase gradient blanks and subtracting one of them from the other, a reproducible, flat baseline is achieved. Therefore, subtracting a blank from a separation provides a baseline corrected chromatogram with reasonably high signal-to-noise ratio for eluting analytes. The micro-RIG detector uses a collimated diode laser beam to optically probe a RIG formed perpendicular to the laminar flow direction within a microfabricated borosilicate glass chip. The chip-based design of the detector is suitable for either traditional bench-top or LC-on-a-chip technologies. We report reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) separations of proteins and polymers, over mobile phase gradient conditions of 67% A:33% B to 3% A:97% B by volume, where A is 96% methanol:3.9% water:0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), and B is 3.9% methanol:96% water:0.1% TFA. The separations were performed on a Jupiter 5 mu C4 300 A 150 mm x 1.0 mm Phenomenex column at a flow rate of 20 microl/min. Viscosity changes during the mobile phase gradient separation are found to shift the on-chip merge position of the detected concentration gradient (i.e., RIG), in a reproducible fashion. However, this viscosity effect makes detection sensitivity vary throughout the mobile phase gradient, due to moving the optimized position of the probe beam in relation to the analyte concentration gradient being probed. None-the-less, consistent limits of detection (LODs) were achieved. The 3-sigma deflection angle LOD was 16 microrad for micro-RIG detection, corresponding to an injected concentration LOD of 7 ppm (mass/mass) for cytochrome c.     

Simultaneous micellar liquid chromatographic analysis of seven water-soluble vitamins: optimization using super-modified simplex

A super-modified simplex (SMS) method has been used to optimize the mobile phase used for separation of seven water-soluble vitamins in multivitamin tablets by gradient micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) with ultraviolet (UV) detection at 254, 295, and 361 nm. Effect of column temperature and addition of organic modifier to the mobile phase on separation efficiency were investigated: the appropriate conditions used were a temperature of 35 degrees C and 1-butanol modifier. The sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) concentration, pH, and 1-butanol% in the mobile phase were chosen for simultaneous optimization using the SMS method. The optimum mobile phase was found to be 16 mmol L(-1) (mM) SDS, 0.02 M phosphate buffer, pH 3.6, and a gradient of 3.5-10% (v/v) butanol. The total analysis time for vitamins was 75 min. The analytical parameters including linearity ( r>0.9970), limit of detection (0.12-50 micro g mL(-1)), precision of method (relative standard deviation (RSD) <8.90%), and accuracy obtained by the recovery assay (88-103%) support the usefulness of the proposed method for the determination of the water-soluble vitamins.     

Optimization of the composition and pH of the mobile phase used for separation and determination of a series of quinolone antibacterials regulated by the European Union

Summary To ensure the safety of human food the European Union (EU) has set tolerance levels for quinolone compounds in animal products, so screening and confirmatory analytical methods are required for monitoring of these drugs. In this work, the proportion of organic modifier and the pH of acetonitrile-water mixtures used as mobile phases were optimized for separation of a group of quinolones. Linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) formalism based on the single solvent polarity parameterE _T ^N was used to predict the chromatographic behaviour of the compounds as a function of the amount of acetonitrile in the mobile phase. Correlation between retention and the pH of aqueous-organic mobile phases has also been used to optimize mobile-phase pH. The optimized mobile phase was a linear gradient starting from 18∶82 (v/v) acetonitrileacetate + formate buffer, pH 2.5. Quality data were determined and were satisfactory. The method detection limit was approximately 10 ng mL⁻¹ for most of the quinolones studied. The proposed mobile phase is compatible with mass spectrometric detection of the substances.     

Improving the universal response of evaporative light scattering detection by mobile phase compensation

Mobile phase compensation, first reported for the charged aerosol detector (CAD), was used as a suitable method to overcome problems related to the mobile phase-dependent response of the evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD). Mobile phase compensation was effectively performed both in the flow injection- and in gradient modes. Without compensation, the response factors of the ELSD for six sulfonamide drugs differed by a factor of two when varying the mobile phase composition between 10 and 90% acetonitrile. This change could be effectively eliminated using the technique of mobile phase compensation, where a secondary pump with a reversed gradient was used to provide the detector with a constant composition of the mobile phase. For identical experimental conditions, the ELSD showed a nearly constant, albeit somewhat reduced, response with compensation. This indicates that under such conditions, the ELSD behaved as a concentration-sensitive detector. The analysis of sulfonamides drugs at 0.05% level using gradient UPLC-ELSD separation with mobile phase compensation is demonstrated.     

梯度液相色谱保留时间公式在梯形梯度洗脱研究中的应用

根据前期得到的梯度液相色谱保留时间计算公式,在不指定溶剂强度模型形式的前提下,探讨了梯形梯度洗脱的一些特点。对于溶质在梯形梯度坡度上流出时的情形,推导得到溶质流出色谱柱所对应的流动相组成(φ_R)随梯度斜率(B)变化的表达式。该公式表明,在该情形中φ_R将会随着B值的增加而增加。对于溶质在梯形梯度最后一个等度区间流出时的情形,如果初始和终止流动相组成保持不变而仅有梯度的斜率发生变化时,从理论上证明了溶质保留时间(t_R)与梯度斜率的倒数(1/B)之间呈线性关系。实验中以C18色谱柱为固定相,甲醇-水为流动相,联苯为样品,测定了不同流动相组成以及梯形梯度条件下的保留时间,所得到的实验值与理论值吻合,从而验证了理论方法的正确性。     

Theoretical Aspects of Gradient Reversed-Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography of Styrene – Butylacrylate Block Copolymers

Butylacrylate – styrene co-polymers prepared by atom transfer radical polymeratization were separated on an octadecyl silica column by gradient elution with tetrahydrofuran in water, up to the molar masses 10,000. In reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), the retention of macromolecules is affected very significantly even by change of a few tenths of per cent of the organic solvent in the aqueous-organic mobile phase. Therefore, gradient elution was used for the determination of the parameters of the equations describing the effects of the mobile phase on the retention behaviour of synthetic polymers. The retention parameters of homopolymers and copolymers were calculated from the gradient data using two retention models. The retention behaviour of the copolymers was described using the experimental gradient retention data for homopolymers.
