Article Abstract
Carrier ampholytes were found to enhance the chemiluminescence (CL) emission from the 3-aminophthalic hydrazide (luminol)-hydrogen peroxide system. They can be used as a chemiluminescent probe for rapid detection of major proteins in gels. This probe attracted much interest due to its ability to attach proteins, and to the possibility to combine it with separation techniques generating the CL emission directly. Increased signal intensity was achieved employing optimized concentrations of the carrier ampholyte enhancer. The binding of carrier ampholyte to proteins was found to occur at the pI of the proteins. Proteins from different regions of the gels were identified by their matrix-assisted TOF mass spectra and by appropriate database search, the results illustrating the possibility of major protein detection in human serum. Direct CL image detection with the carrier ampholyte probe can be applied for the detection of characteristic proteins in patients, i.e., proteins which cannot be detected without the probe.

Article Synopsis
- Charge heterogeneity is essential for the quality of therapeutics like antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), but creating effective methods for high drug-to-antibody ratios (DAR) is difficult due to increased complexity.
- The study focuses on optimizing imaged capillary isoelectric focusing (icIEF) methods by analyzing various parameters such as solubilizers and focusing time to improve resolution and stability for high DAR ADCs.
- This research is the first thorough investigation into icIEF method development for charge variant assessment in high DAR ADCs, offering valuable insights into their unique properties.
Separation and fractionation of glutamic acid and histidine via origami isoelectric focusing.
J Chromatogr A
September 2023
Department of Chemistry, Okayama University, Okayama 700-8530, Japan. Electronic address:
We demonstrated the fractionation of two amino acids, glutamic acid and histidine, separated via isoelectric focusing (IEF) on filter paper folded and stacked in an origami fashion. Channels for electrophoresis were fabricated as circular zones acquired via wax printing onto the filter paper. An ampholyte solution with amphiphilic samples was deposited on all the circle zones, which was followed by folding to form the electrophoresis channels.

The self-consistent field Poisson-Boltzmann framework is applied to analyze equilibrium partitioning of ampholytic nanoparticles (NPs) between buffer solution and polyelectrolyte (PE) polyanionic brush. We demonstrate that depending on pH and salt concentration in the buffer solution, interactions between ionizable (acidic and basic) groups on the NP surface and electrostatic field created by PE brush may either lead to the spontaneous uptake of NPs or create an electrostatic potential barrier, preventing the penetration of NPs inside PE brush. The capability of PE brush to absorb or repel NPs is determined by the shape of the insertion free energy that is calculated as a function of NP distance from the grafting surface.

The carrier ampholytes-based (CA-based) isoelectric focusing (IEF) experiment evolved from Svensson's closed system IEF (constant spatial current density, absence of convective mixing, counter-balancing electrophoretic and diffusive fluxes yielding a steady state pH gradient) to the contemporary open system IEF (absence of convective mixing, large cross-sectional area electrode vessels, lack of counter-balancing electrophoretic- and diffusive fluxes leading to transient pH gradients). Open system IEF currently is described by a two-stage model: In the first stage, a rapid IEF process forms the pH gradient which, in the second stage, is slowly degraded by isotachophoretic processes that move the most acidic and most basic CAs into the electrode vessels. An analysis of the effective mobilities and the effective mobility to conductivity ratios of the anolyte, catholyte, and the CAs indicates that in open system IEF experiments a single process, transient bidirectional isotachophoresis (tbdITP) operates from the moment current is turned on until it is turned off.

In 1961, Svensson described isoelectric focusing (IEF), the separation of ampholytic compounds in a stationary, natural pH gradient that was formed by passing current through a sucrose density gradient-stabilized ampholyte mixture in a constant cross-section apparatus, free of mixing. Stable pH gradients were formed as the electrophoretic transport built up a series of isoelectric ampholyte zones-the concentration of which decreased with their distance from the electrodes-and a diffusive flux which balanced the generating electrophoretic flux. When polyacrylamide gel replaced the sucrose density gradient as the stabilizing medium, the spatial and temporal stability of Svensson's pH gradient became lost, igniting a search for the explanation and mitigation of the loss.
