Disorder in CENP-A tail-chaperone interaction facilitates binding with Ame1/Okp1 at the kinetochore.

The centromere is epigenetically marked by a histone H3 variant-CENP-A. The budding yeast CENP-A called Cse4, consists of an unusually long N-terminus that is known to be involved in kinetochore assembly. Its disordered chaperone, Scm3 is responsible for the centromeric deposition of Cse4 as well as in the maintenance of a segregation-competent kinetochore.

Method development and validation of HPLC tandem/mass spectrometry for quantification of perindopril arginine and amlodipine besylate combination in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations.

A well-characterized and fully validated ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometric (UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS) method was developed to reliably analyze combination of perindopril arginine and amlodipine besylate in bulk and tablet formulations. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a Waters ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column with 1.7 μm particle packing which enabled the higher peak capacity, greater resolution, increased sensitivity, and higher speed of analysis using a volatile mobile phase ideally being at least 2 pH units below and above the perindopril arginine and amlodipine besylate pKa, respectively.
