弱阳离子交换毛细管液相色谱整体柱的制备及其对蛋白质的分离

毛细管液相色谱柱具有节省样品、流动相,固定相消耗少,提高检测灵敏度等优点[1].近年来,随着蛋白组学的发展,毛细管离子交换液相色谱受到重视.目前蛋白组学中占有重要地位的多维液相色谱-质谱联用技术中,第一维液相色谱大多采用毛细管离子交换色谱柱[2].目前采用的颗粒填充毛细管柱柱压较高,易被蛋白质污染,且价格昂贵,使用寿命短.整体柱[3]具有大孔结构,柱背压低,对流传质使传质速率加快,制备过程简单,由于溶质与基质的接触时间短,降低了生物样品失活的可能性.与强阳离子交换固定相相比较,弱阳离子交换固定相与生物分子的相互作用比较温和,因此不易发生蛋白质变性现象.目前报道的弱阳离子交换整体柱通常采用两步法改性[4]:先用乙二胺处理,再用氯乙酸反应.我们在选取的具有良好刚性和渗透性的整体固定相上,利用亚胺乙二酸进行一步改性,简化了合成步骤,获得了具有羧酸基团的弱阳离子交换毛细管整体柱,并考察了其对于蛋白的分离能力.

金属螯合亲和色谱中的疏水作用

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。     

Charge regulation in protein ion-exchange chromatography: development and experimental evaluation of a theory based on hydrogen ion Donnan equilibrium

An extension of the stoichiometric displacement (SD) model for the ion-exchange adsorption of dilute proteins is developed which accounts for the effects of hydrogen ion Donnan equilibrium on the protein charge. The ability of the new model to fit retention data when the fluid phase pH is near the protein pI and the effects of hydrogen ion Donnan equilibrium are important is examined using four different proteins and four different column packings. The results indicate that the model is able to fit retention data using values for the protein pI and the change in protein charge with pH at the pI, i.e., (dz/dpH)pI, that are significantly closer to the values of these parameters determined by isoelectric focusing and acid-base titrametry in free solution, respectively, as compared to the values obtained by determining the characteristic binding change as a function of pH using the traditional stoichiometric displacement model. This suggests that when the fluid phase pH is near the protein pI, charge regulation is an important cause of the discrepancy between the electrical charge of a protein in free solution and the characteristic binding charge from the stoichiometric displacement model. The results also indicate that for the case where the fluid phase pH is near the protein pI, the new model accounts for the effect of charge regulation during protein ion-exchange adsorption more accurately than previous models in the literature.     

A dual-column HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of DHPG (9-[(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxy)methyl]guanine) and its mono and diesters in biological samples

A convenient method for the simultaneous determination of various DHPG species present in biological samples is presented. This method utilizes a cation exchange column (25 cm X 4.6 mm i.d.) coupled in series to a short reversed-phase column (5 cm X 4.6 mm i.d.). The mobile phase consists of methanol:0.005M ammonium phosphate buffer, pH 2.5. There is a large polarity difference between DHPG and its esters due to the non-polar side chain of the ester moiety. The simultaneous determination of the diesters, monoesters, and DHPG in these samples using only the cation exchange or the reversed-phase column is not possible without time-consuming gradient elution. In the reversed-phase mode alone, the esters are highly retained relative to DHPG, whereas the esters are only slightly retained on a cation exchange column and are insensitive to changes in pH and ionic strength of the mobile phase. However, a combination of these two columns provides interesting selectivity for these compounds and offers a unique way of controlling the retention times of these species relative to each other. The retention time of esters can be selectively altered (with respect to DHPG) by changing the composition of methanol in the mobile phase. In contrast, the retention time of DHPG is controlled by changing the buffer strength and pH of the mobile phase.     

Nylon-6 capillary-channeled polymer fibers as a stationary phase for the mixed-mode ion exchange/reversed-phase chromatography separation of proteins

Capillary-channeled polymer (C-CP) fibers extruded from nylon-6 are used as the stationary phase for the ion-exchange/reversed-phase mixed-mode chromatographic separation of a three protein mixture. The nylon-6 C-CP fibers are packed collinearly in a 250 x 1.5-mm i.d. column with an interstitial fraction of approximately 0.6. The effects of four displacing salts at three different pHs are studied with regards to protein retention time, peak width, selectivity, and resolution for a synthetic mixture consisting of myoglobin, ribonuclease A, and lysozyme to determine the optimum mobile phase conditions. The net charge model is found to be inadequate in fully explaining the retention behavior, as the proteins are retained by anion and cation-exchange interactions, as well as hydrophobic interactions with the stationary phase. It is found that pH and displacing salt strength had a significant influence on the retention properties and resolution of the proteins.     

Ion-exchange chromatography of proteins near the isoelectric points.

The retention and the resolution of beta-lactoglobulin A and B (LgA, LgB) were investigated with various ion-exchange chromatography media. The number of sites involved in the retention (adsorption) decreased as the mobile phase pH approached the isoelectric points pI (=5.1-5.2). However, even at pH 5.2 both LgA and LgB were retained on anion- and cation-exchange chromatography columns. The separation (resolution) of LgA and LgB became better when the pH approached the pI in anion-exchange chromatography columns where the number of adsorption site values are small (ca. 2-3). The two proteins were not separated on cation-exchange chromatography columns. Factors affecting the resolution and the retention near the pI were discussed.     

Mechanistic studies on the separation of cations in zwitterionic ion chromatography

Electrostatic ion chromatography, also known as zwitterionic ion chromatography, has been predominantly used for the analysis of anions. Consequently, separation mechanisms proposed for this technique have been based on anion retention data obtained using a sulfobetaine-type surfactant-coated column. A comprehensive cation retention data set has been obtained on a C18 column coated with the zwitterionic surfactant N-tetradecylphosphocholine (which has the negatively and positively charged functional groups reversed in comparison to the sulfobetaine surfactants), with mobile phases being varied systematically in the concentration and species of both the mobile-phase anion and cation. A retention mechanism based on both an ion exclusion effect and a direct (chaotropic) interaction with the inner negative charge on the zwitterion is proposed for the retention of cations. Despite the relatively low chaotropic nature of cations compared with anions, the retention data shows that cations are retained in this system predominantly due to a chaotropic interaction with the inner charge, analogous to anions in a system where the C18 column is coated with a sulfobetaine-type surfactant. The retention of an analyte cation, and the effect of the mobile-phase anion and cation, can be predicted by the relative positions of these species on the Hofmeister (chaotropic) series.     

Anion Exchange-Adsorption on Low Capacity Anion Exchangers: Separation of Organic Acids,Amino Acids,Small Chain Peptides

Abstract

The variables that influence the retention of organic analyte anions on a macroporous, high surface area polystyrenedivinyl-benzene copolymer that is chemically modified by attaching tetraalkylammonium groups to the copolymer surface are identified and studied as a function of anion exchange capacity. A combined adsorption-anion exchange retention of the organic analyte anion is possible providing the analyte has both a hydrophophic center and an anionic charge site. As the column anion exchange capacity (0 to 173 μeq of anion exchange sites/column was studied) increases, analyte retention due to adsorption decreases and retention due to anion exchange increases. The factors influencing organic analyte anion retention by adsorption are low anion exchange capacity and mobile phase solvent composition, type of organic modifier, and pH for analytes that are weak organic acids. For anion exchange the major factors are a high anion exchange     

pH-gradient ion-exchange chromatography: an analytical tool for design and optimization of protein separations

This work demonstrates that a highly linear, controllable and wide-ranged pH-gradient can be generated through an ion-exchange chromatography (IEC) column. Such a pH-gradient anion-exchange chromatography was evaluated with 17 model proteins and found that acidic (pI<6) and basic (pI>8) proteins elute roughly at their pI, whereas neutral proteins (pI 6-8) elute at pH 8-9 regardless their pI values. Because of the flat nature of protein titration curves from pH approximately 6 to approximately 9, neutral proteins indeed exhibit nearly zero net charge at pH approximately 9. The elution-pH in pH-gradient IEC or the titration curve, but not the pI, was identified as the key parameter for pH optimization of preparative IEC in a fast and rational way. The pH-gradient IEC was also applied and found to be an excellent analytical tool for the fractionation of crude protein mixtures.     

Sample displacement chromatography of monoclonal antibody charge variants and aggregates

The rise of biosimilar monoclonal antibodies has renewed the interest in monoclonal antibody (mAb) charge variants composition and separation. The sample displacement chromatography (SDC) has the potential to overcome the low separation efficiency and productivity associated with bind-elute separation of mAb charge variants. SDC in combination with weak cation exchanging macroporous monolithic chromatographic column was successfully implemented for a separation of charge variants and aggregates of monoclonal IgG under overloading conditions. The charge variants composition was at-line monitored by a newly developed, simple and fast analytical method, based on weak cation exchange chromatography. It was proven that basic charge variants acted as displacers of IgG molecules with lower pI, when the loading was performed 1 to 1.5 pH unit below the pI of acidic charge variants. The efficiency of the SDC process is flow rate independent due to a convection-based mass transfer on the macroporous monolith. The productivity of the process at optimal conditions is 35 mg of purified IgG fraction per milliliters of monolithic support with 75–80% recovery. As such, an SDC approach surpasses the standard bind-elute separation in the productivity for a factor of 3, when performed on the same column. The applicability of the SDC approach was confirmed for porous particle-based column as well, but with 1.5 lower productivity compared to the monoliths.     

The Separation of Organic Analyte Cations on a Low-Capacity Cation Exchange Column Using Indirect UV Detection

Abstract

The retention of organic analyte cations on a low-capacity cation exchange column using indirect UV detection was studied. It was found that a combination of cation exchange/reversed-phase interactions affected the retention of organic analyte cations provided the analytes have both a cationic charge site and a hydrophobic center. The factors that influenced the organic analyte cation retention were: concentration of organic modifier, concentration of UV absorbing analyte, pH, and mobile phase ionic strength. Elution orders for several of the organic analytes studied on the low-capacity cation exchange column were different than those observed on silica-based strong cation exchange columns.
