AI Article Synopsis

  • Affinity chromatography requires specific ligands for effective protein separations, but antibodies may not always be the best option due to technical and economic limitations.
  • To find suitable ligands, researchers can use pre-established combinatorial libraries, which provide a broad range of structural options.
  • This review highlights various common affinity ligand libraries and the best screening methods to identify the right ligands for different types of libraries, including a comparative analysis.

Article Abstract

Affinity chromatography separations of proteins call for highly specific ligands. Antibodies are the most obvious approach; however, except for specific situations, technical and economic reasons are arguments against this choice especially for preparative purposes. With this in mind, the rationale is to select the most appropriate ligands from collections of pre-established molecules. To reach the objective of having a large structural coverage, combinatorial libraries have been proposed. These are classified according to their nature and origin. This review presents and discusses the most common affinity ligand libraries along with the most appropriate screening methods for the identification of the right affinity chromatography selective structure according to the type of library; a side-by-side comparison is also presented.

Ecofriendly and biocompatible biochars derived from waste-branches for direct and efficient solid-phase extraction of benzodiazepines in crude urine sample prior to LC-MS/MS.

Mikrochim Acta

Biochars (BCs) derived from waste-branches of apple tree, grape tree, and oak were developed for direct solid-phase extraction (SPE) of five benzodiazepines (BZDs) in crude urine samples prior to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) determination. Scanning electron microscopy, elemental analyzer, X-ray diffractometry, N adsorption/desorption experiments, and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry characterizations revealed the existence of their mesoporous structure and numerous oxygen-containing functional groups. The obtained BCs not only possessed high affinity towards BZDs via π-π and hydrogen bond interactions, but also afforded the great biocompatibility of excluding interfering components from undiluted urine samples when using SPE adsorbents.

Protein A (ProA) affinity chromatography plays an essential role in purifying monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and their analogues by reducing impurities like residual host cell proteins (HCPs), residual DNA, process additives, and potential viral contaminants. Decades of mAb process development and commercialization efforts have built extensive prior knowledge in the Protein A process. The prior knowledge facilities streamlined process development and minimized the need for extensive process characterization studies to inform manufacturing control strategies.

Objectives: To investigate the phytochemical composition of Ajwa date extract and evaluate its antiviral activity and mechanism of action.

Methods: High perfomance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry were used to analyze the phytochemical profile of Ajwa date extract. The antiviral activity was assessed using the MTT colorimetric assay against herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-I) and coxsackievirus B4 (CVB-4).
