Therapeutic oligonucleotides are becoming an important class of therapeutics. Their manufacturing processes can result in the formation of impurities, particularly truncated species. To ensure the quality and safety of the product, it is crucial to evaluate the presence of these species. Liquid chromatography analysis enables such purity determination. In this context, a recently described weak anion exchange chromatography method was optimized to allow the effective separation of different impurities. The optimization addressed the complexity and instability of the mobile phases, which contained salts and organic compounds. Adjustments were made to the mobile phase composition and gradient to meet the requirements of QC laboratories. Additionally, to ensure the method's reliability, a robustness study was conducted based on a risk assessment. Five factors were considered potential risks and were assessed experimentally on different chromatographic outputs. This led to the definition of a robust space, ensuring the method's reliability for the purity determination of oligonucleotides.

Aim: Members of the claudin protein family are the major constituents of tight junction strands and determine the permeability properties of the paracellular pathway. In the kidney, each nephron segment expresses a distinct subset of claudins that form either barriers against paracellular solute transport or charge- and size-selective paracellular channels. It was the aim of the present study to determine and compare the permeation properties of these renal paracellular ion channel-forming claudins.

The antifreeze mechanism of antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) remains incompletely understood, which limits the design of new antifreeze molecules for practical applications. For instance, the ice growth inhibition of AFGP8 (the shortest AFGPs) is primarily driven by hydrophobic methyl and hydrogen-bonding hydroxyl groups. However, altering the C3-β linkage in the disaccharide moiety of AFGP8, denoted as variant GP8-LacNAc, significantly reduces its antifreeze activity.

In the history of magnetochemistry development, lanthanide-transition (3d-4f) heterometallic compounds have been considered an attractive candidate for magnetic refrigerants. Herein, a series of heterometallic compounds have been designed and templated by CO anions, that is, {[LnNi(L)(CO)(HO)]·HO} [Ln = Gd (. Gd2Ni) = Sm (.

Computer simulation was utilized to characterize the electrophoretic processes occurring during the enantioselective capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) analysis of ketamine, norketamine, and hydroxynorketamine in a system with partial filling of the capillary with 19 mM (equals 5%) of highly sulfated γ-cyclodextrin (HS-γ-CD) and analyte detection on the cathodic side. Provided that the sample is applied without or with a small amount of the chiral selector, analytes become quickly focused and separated in the thereby formed HS-γ-CD gradient at the cathodic end of the sample compartment. This gradient broadens with time, remains stationary, and gradually reduces its span from the lower side due to diffusion such that analytes with high affinity to the anionic selector become released onto the other side of the focusing gradient where anionic migration and defocusing occur concomitantly.

Scorpion venom contains various bioactive peptides, many of which exhibit insecticidal activity. The majority of these peptides have a cystine-stabilized α-helix/β-sheet (CSαβ) motif. In addition to these peptides, scorpion venom also contains those with a cystine-stabilized α-helix/α-helix (CSαα) motif, which are known as κ-KTx peptides.
