AI Article Synopsis

  • Monodisperse polystyrene seed particles were created using a dispersion polymerization technique with styrene and ethanol, and later transformed into porous polymer beads through a one-step method.
  • A novel hydrophilic weak cation exchange stationary phase for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed using these beads via a new chemical modification process.
  • The stationary phase exhibited effective ion exchange behavior and successfully separated and purified lysozyme from egg white in a single step, achieving over 96% purity and a bioactivity of 71,184 U/mg.

Article Abstract

Monodisperse polystyrene seed particles were prepared by dispersion polymerization of styrene in ethanol and water under a nitrogen atmosphere using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. Then the monodisperse, porous poly (chloromethylstyrene-co-divinylbenzene) beads in the range of 6 - 15 microm were prepared by one-step swelling and polymerization method. Based on this media, a new hydrophilic weak cation exchange stationary phase (WCX) for high performance liquid chromatography was synthesized by a new chemical modification method. The stationary phase was evaluated on the behavior of ion exchange, separability, and hydrophilicity. Effects of the nature of salts and pH value on the separation and retention of proteins of the stationary phase were investigated in details. It was found that the WCX resin follows ion exchange chromatographic retention mechanism. It was also used for the rapid separation and purification of lysozyme from egg white in only one step. The purity was found more than 96% and specific bioactivity of the purified lysozyme was as high as 71 184 U/mg.

The study of green analytical chemistry has garnered significant attention in the context of mitigating global environmental contamination. In this study, we present two methodologies for environmentally friendly chromatography that enable simultaneous and specific determination of Saxagliptin (SAX), metformin (MET), and a pharmacopoeial impurity of MET known as melamine (MEL). The initial method employed in this study is High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC), which utilized 60 F 254 silica gel-coated Mark HPTLC plates on aluminum sheets as the stationary phase.

Protein methylation has attracted increasing attention due to its significant regulatory roles in various biological processes. However, the diversity of methylation forms, subtle differences between methylated and nonmodified sites, and their ultralow abundances pose substantial challenges for capturing and isolating methylated peptides from biological samples. Herein, we develop a chromatographic method that utilizes 4-sulfonylcalix[4]arene (SC4A) as a mobile phase additive and Click-Maltose as the stationary phase to separate methylated/nonmethylated peptides through the adsorption of the SC4A-(Me3) complex.

Carbon monoxide (CO) oxidising microorganisms are present in volcanic deposits throughout succession, with levels of vegetation and soil influencing the communities present. Carboxydovores are a subset of CO oxidisers that use CO as an energy source, which raises questions about the physiological and metabolic features that make them more competitive in harsh volcanic ecosystems. To address these questions, samples were taken from volcanic strata formed by eruptions from Calbuco Volcano (Chile) in 2015 (tephra) and 1917 (soil).

The traditional method is capable of detecting and tracking stationary and slow-moving targets in a sea surface environment. However, the signal focusing capability of such a method could be greatly reduced especially for those variable-speed targets. To solve this problem, a novel tracking algorithm combining range envelope alignment and azimuth phase filtering is proposed.
