Two constructions of the high-frequency contactless conductivity detector that are fitted to specific demands capillary zone electrophoresis described. The axial arrangement electrodes cell with two cylindrical placed around outer wall column is used. We propose an equivalent electrical model cell, which explains features its behavior including overshooting phenomena. give computer numerical solution enabling simulation real experimental runs. role many parameters can be evaluated in this...

Twenty underivatized essential amino acids were separated using capillary zone electrophoresis and consequently detected with contactless conductivity detection (CCD). A simple acidic background electrolyte (BGE) containing 2.3 M acetic acid 0.1% w/w hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) allowed the electrophoretic separation sensitive of all 20 in their cationic form. The addition HEC to BGE suppressed both, electroosmotic flow analyte adsorption on surface resulting an excellent migration time...

Charge reversal as an extreme case of charge compensation is directly observed by capillary electrophoresis for a negatively charged peptide in aqueous solutions trivalent cations. Atomistic and coarse-grained simulations provide molecular interpretation this effect showing that it largely electrostatic origin with minor contribution chemical specificity the salt ions.

Using capillary electrophoresis and molecular dynamics simulations, we directly demonstrate that guanidinium cations exhibit an affinity for the positively charged side chains of arginine-containing peptides in aqueous solutions, while no such effect is observed sodium and/or lysine. Such a counterintuitive pairing between these two moieties has implications destabilization aggregation arginine-rich proteins salt solutions.

In the present study, we characterize binding of divalent cations to insulin in aqueous salt solutions by means capillary electrophoresis and molecular dynamics simulations. The results show a strong pH dependence. At low pH, at which all carboxylate groups are protonated protein has an overall positive charge, exhibit only weak rather unspecific interactions with insulin. contrast, close neutral when deprotonated negatively charged, charge-neutralizing effect magnesium, calcium, zinc,...

Domains rich in cationic amino acids are ubiquitous peptides with the ability to cross cell membranes, which is likely related binding of such polypeptides anionic groups on membrane surface. To shed more light these interactions, we investigated specific interactions between basic and oligopeptides thereof anions by means electrophoretic experiments molecular dynamics simulations. this end, measured mobilities arginine, lysine, tetraarginine, tetralysine sodium chloride sulfate electrolytes...

Vernix caseosa protects the skin of a human fetus during last trimester pregnancy and newborn after delivery. Besides its cellular proteinaceous components, an important constituent functional agent is complex lipid fraction, implicated in multitude salubrious effects vernix caseosa.

Abstract Four methacrylate ester‐based monolithic columns for capillary liquid chromatography (CLC) were prepared by radical polymerization with ammonium peroxodisulfate (3 columns) and thermal initiation (1 column). The mixture consisted of butyl (BMA) ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA), propan‐1‐ol, butane‐1,4‐diol, water, as initiator. It was necessary to add N,N,N ′, N ′‐tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) the activate reaction. amount initiator activator optimized attain quantitative...

The cationic sensitizer 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin (TMPyP) forms supramolecular complexes with native, per-methylated, sulfonated and dimethyl-sulfonated cyclodextrins (CDs). Binding interactions were proved by NMR, mass spectra, capillary zone electrophoresis, UV-Vis fluorescence spectroscopy. 2D-NMR experiments on native CDs indicate that the interaction of TMPyP external CD surface is dominant binding mode. high affinity towards due to electrostatic...
