A novel affinity elution procedure for purification of DNA-binding proteins was developed and employed to purify to near homogeneity the proteins recognizing a 21 base pair sequence within the long terminal repeat of human endogenous retroviruses K. The approach involves loading the initial protein mixture on a heparin-agarose column and elution of protein(s) of interest with a solution of double-stranded oligonucleotide containing binding sites of the protein(s). The affinity elution has several advantages over conventional DNA-affinity chromatography: (i) it is easier and faster, permitting to isolate proteins in a 1 day-one stage procedure; (ii) yield of a target protein is severalfold higher than that in DNA-affinity chromatography; (iii) it is not necessary to prepare a special affinity support for each factor to be isolated. Theaffinity elution could be a useful alternative to conventional DNA-affinity chromatography.

The valid method was developed for analyzing empagliflozin in serum/plasma/urine using a molecularly imprinted ghost polymer-solid-phase extraction approach (MISPE) with liquid chromatographic methodology. Methacrylic acid (MAA) was used as the monomer, 2,2 azobis isobutyronitrile as the initiator and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linker in the free radical polymerization procedure. Empagliflozin was loaded onto the polymer and eluted with 1 mL of a 9:1 MeOH:acetic acid solution.

Emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2 pose great technological and regulatory challenges to vaccine manufacturing, especially in downstream processing. To address this dilemma, the development of broad-spectrum affinity chromatography for the purification of wild-type SARS-CoV-2 and its variants is crucial. We propose a comprehensive strategy to achieve this goal via the identification of high-affinity peptides by affinity selection of phage display and next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the evaluation of chromatographic performance.

The B domain of protein A is a biotechnologically important three-helix bundle protein. It binds the Fc fragment of antibodies with helix 1/2 and the Fab region with helix 2/3. Here we designed a helix shuffled variant by changing the connectivity of the helices, in order to redesign the helix bundle, yielding altered helix-loop-helix properties.

Protein A chromatography represents the most prevalent methodology for the capture of monoclonal antibodies. The use of a low pH elution buffer from Protein A has been observed to contribute to product aggregation, particularly in the case of IgG4 antibodies, such as nivolumab. This paper presents a well-defined strategy for addressing this issue.
