Application of CEC procedures for the analysis of synthetic peptides: characterization of linear immunogenic peptides that mimic a HIV-1 gp120 epitope
2002
In this study, we describe the application of a new analytical procedure based on capillary electrochromatographic(CEC) techniques for the characterization of different basic and acidic peptides using isocratic eluent conditions containing acetonitrile and ammonium acetate buffers of different molarities between pH 3.8 and 5.2. In particular,10 immunogenic peptide analogs with isoelectric points ranging from 3.7 to 10.1 were investigated; nine of these peptides, 1-9, were truncated analogs of the parent peptide, 10, which is a peptidomimetic related to a HIV-1 gp120 epitope. Several of these peptides have the propensity to form alpha-helical secondary structures in solution. Electrochromato…
Direct acid-catalysed mechanical depolymerisation of fibre sludge to reducing sugars using planetary milling
2016
Abstract This study performed a direct solvent-free acid-catalysed mechanical depolymerisation of fibre sludge to reducing sugars which involves one step of acid milling in a planetary mill. The common reported ‘solvent-free’ mechanocatalytic depolymerisation of lignocellulose which includes 1) acid impregnation, 2) vacuum evaporation and 3) mechanocatalytic depolymerisation was also performed as a reference. The major converted monosaccharides were determined by capillary electrophoresis and the results of total reducing sugar (TRS) yields were carried out based on the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method. The results showed that the TRS conversion of direct acid-catalysed mechanical dep…
Determination of cationic surfactants by capillary zone electrophoresis and micellar electrokinetic chromatography with deoxycholate micelles in the …
2000
Mixtures of the cationic surfactants benzalkonium chloride (BKC) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) were quickly resolved and reproducibly and reliably determined by using background electrolytes (BGEs) containing 80 mM borate, pH 8.5, bile salts and large concentrations of an organic solvent. When the bile salt is present, the separation mechanism changes from capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) to a mixed micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC)-CZE, with predominant MEKC interactions, which lead to an excellent resolution of all the solutes, including the C12-C18 homologues of BKC and CPC. A BGE containing 50 mM sodium deoxycholate and 30% ethanol for an extreme resolution, or 20% …
Characterization of totally chlorine-free effluents from Kraft pulp bleaching
1999
A capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method for analyzing the total acid hydrolysis products (monosaccharides and their derivatives) of the dissolved carbohydrates from a totally chlorine-free bleaching plant was developed. Several borate buffer concentrations and other running conditions were tested. Neutral monosaccharides (arabinose, galactose, glucose, mannose, rhamnose and xylose) in hydrolysates were derivatized by means of 4-aminobenzonitrile and resolved by 500 mM borate buffer (pH 9.5, 16.0 kV). The detection level was less than 10 fmol. In addition, the separation of some uronic acids and oligosaccharides was studied.
Optical tweezing electrophoresis of isolated, highly charged colloidal spheres
2001
Abstract We report on a novel optical tweezing experiment measuring the electrophoretic mobility μ of highly charged spherical particles suspended in water at volume fractions Φ≤2×10 −7 . At deionised conditions μ =2.5×10 −8 m 2 V −1 s −1 , it decreases further upon increasing the salt concentration c . We compare our data to measurements at larger Φ, where generally much larger μ and a qualitatively different dependence on the salt concentration are observed. To characterise the dependence on Φ we performed measurements at no added salt. There the mobility increases in the unordered state but stays constant at μ =6.8×10 −8 m 2 V −1 s −1 as the system develops fluid order. In the ordered re…
Comperative studies with Culex pipiens egg rafts. Immunogenetic, electrophoretic and enzymatic analysis of unfertilized, compatible and incompatible …
1973
By applying immunologic, electrophoretic and enzymatic methods, extracts of different raft types of Culex pipiens were analysed. Rafts of the crosses Pa x Pa and Ha x Ha contained four common antigens, while unfertilized rafts of Pa and Ha (no antisera were prepared against them) and rafts of the crosses Og x Og, Og x Pa, and Pa x Og shared three common antigens with the remaining raft extracts. Disk-electrophoresis of raft extracts in acrylamide gel resulted in different electropherograms. Ten protein bands were common to all these raft types. The unfertilized rafts of Pa and Ha yielded three more protein bands, the crosses Pa x Ha and Ha x Pa one more, the crosses Og x Og and Pa x Og thre…
Prediction of the curing time of Spanish hams using peptide profiles established by capillary zone electrophoresis
2009
Abstract A capillary zone electrophoresis procedure for the prediction of curing time of Spanish hams using peptide profiles has been developed. Excellent resolution between the seven peptide peaks was achieved within 30 min analysis time with a BGE containing 60 mM MgSO 4 and 50 mM phosphate at pH 2.5. Using hams with curing times of 6, 8 and 12 months, both linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and multiple linear regression (MLR) models were constructed. In both cases, two different normalisation procedures of the peak areas were compared. Using LDA, all the ham samples corresponding to the three categories were correctly classified. Using MLR, the ham curing time could be predicted with av…
Determination of optical purity of phosphonic acid analogues of aromatic amino acids by capillary electrophoresis with alpha-cyclodextrin.
2000
A simple and efficient method for the determination of enantiomeric purity of structurally diverse phosphonic and phosphinic acid analogues of phenylalanine and phenylglycine using capillary electrophoresis is presented. These preliminary studies indicated that the enantiomer separation is strongly dependent on the structure of the aminophosphonic acid.

Salt concentration and particle density dependence of electrophoretic mobilities of spherical colloids in aqueous suspension.
2007
Using laser Doppler velocimetry in the superheterodyne mode, we conducted a systematic study of the electrophoretic mobility of dispersions of small silica spheres (a=18 nm) suspended in water at different salinities and particle concentrations. The concentration of NaCl was varied from 40 microM up to 16 mM, while the particle concentrations were varied between 4.2x10(18) and 2.1x10(20) m-3. We find a decrease of mobility with increasing salt concentrations and an increase with increased particle number densities. The latter observation is not backed by the standard cell model of electrophoresis with Shilov-Zharkikh boundary conditions. Rather, if the experimental data are interpreted with…
