Abstract
Analysis of protein interactions by means of capillary electrophoresis (CE) has unique challenges and rewards. The choice of analysis conditions, especially involving electrophoresis buffers, are crucial and not universal for protein analysis. If conditions for analysis can be worked out, it is possible to utilize CE quantitatively and qualitatively to characterize protein-ligand binding involving unmodified molecules in solution and taking place under physiological conditions. This chapter deals with the most important practical considerations in capillary electrophoretic affinity approaches, affinity CE (ACE). The text emphasizes the most critical factors for successful analyses and has application examples illustrating various types of information offered by ACE-based studies. Also included are step-by-step accounts of the two main classes of experimental design: the pre-equilibration ACE (in the form of CE-frontal analysis (CE-FA)) and mobility shift ACE together with examples of their use. The ACE approaches for binding assays of proteins should be considered when the biological material is scarce, when any kind of labeling is not possible or desired, when the interacting molecules are the same size and when rapid and simple method development is a priority.

Abstract
Many methods for determining intermolecular interactions have been described in the literature in the past several decades. Chief among them are methods based on spectroscopic changes, particularly those based on absorption or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) [especially proton NMR ((1)H NMR)]. Recently, there have been put forward several new methods that are particularly adaptable, use very small quantities of material, and do not place severe requirements on the spectroscopic properties of the binding partners. This review covers new developments in affinity capillary electrophoresis, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and phasetransfer methods.

Abstract
The language that cells use to communicate consists of the small molecules, peptides, and proteins that are released into the extracellular environment. To decipher this language, analytical assays are needed that have high selectivity, high sensitivity, and fast temporal resolution. Affinity assays are a group of analytical methodologies that are adept at studying this communication. In this overview, we highlight several examples from the literature on various types of affinity assays used in different platforms to monitor biological communication of peptides and proteins.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoretic separation of chemically synthesized ssDNA and a single-base-substituted one (normal and mutant ssDNA, respectively) was demonstrated using a PEG-oligodeoxyribonucleotide block copolymer (PEG-b-ODN) as an affinity ligand. When the base sequence of PEG-b-ODN was designed to be complementary to part of normal ssDNA including the base-substituted site, the electrophoretic mobility of normal ssDNA significantly decreased whereas that of mutant ssDNA slightly changed. Resolution of the separation strongly depended on the ODN length of the copolymer, the capillary temperature, and the Mg2+ concentration in the running buffer, indicating that the retardation of migration of normal ssDNA was induced by the reversible hybridization with PEG-b-ODN. It was found that the dissociation constant (K(d)) of the duplex between normal ssDNA and the affinity probe ODN should be smaller than 10(-6) M to achieve the good peak separation. In addition, we calculated the mobility of the complex (mu(C)) between normal ssDNA and PEG-b-ODN using a two-state model. The base sequence of affinity probe ODN appropriate to achieve the sufficient resolution will be predicted on the basis of the mu(C) and K(d )values.

Abstract
The major methodological developments in CE related to inorganic analysis are overviewed. This is an update to a previous review article by the author (Timerbaev, A. R., Electrophoresis 2004, 25, 4008-4031) and it covers the review work and innovative research papers published between January 2004 and the first part of 2006. As was underlined in that review, a growing interest of analytical community in providing elemental speciation information found a sound response of the CE method developers. Presently, almost every second research paper in the field of interest deals with element species analysis, the use of inductively coupled plasma MS detection and biochemical applications being the topics of utmost research efforts. On the other hand, advances in general methodology traditionally centered on a CE system modernization for improvements in sensitivity and separation selectivity have attracted less attention over the review period. While there is no indication that inorganic ion applications would surpass by the developmental rate the more matured analysis of organic analytes, CE can now be seen as an analytical technique to be before long customary in a number of inorganic analysis arenas.

Abstract
Micellar systems composed of surfactants are used extensively in academia and industry for many different applications. In this work a highly versatile CE method for determination of CMCs of charged surfactants has been developed. In the case of positively charged surfactants a coating procedure of the fused-silica capillary was used, whereas negatively charged surfactants were analyzed using uncoated capillaries. The CE method is based on frontal analysis (FA) employing use of contactless conductivity and UV detection. The main advantages of the method are that it can be used for non-UV absorbing surfactants without introducing marker compounds which previously has been found to affect CMCs, requires very limited sample volume and is easily implemented and automated using standard CE equipment. The fact that counterions and different aggregated states are separated allows a detailed characterization of the micelle systems using the developed method. In the case of UV absorbing surfactants similar results were obtained employing contactless conductivity and UV detection. Finally, CMCs obtained using conductometry gave similar results as compared to the developed CE-FA procedure.

Abstract
Several modes of the often used ACE processes are simulated based on the principle of dynamic complexation of interacting species in a capillary column. The model is built on the mass transfer equation, to provide insight into the detailed analyte migration and interaction processes in CE. Normal ACE, Hummel-Dreyer method, vacancy affinity CE, vacancy peak method, and CE frontal analysis are simulated based on typical ACE conditions, and the results are compared with the detector responses of real CE processes using BSA and warfarin as a model system. Remarkable resemblance between the simulated results and the experimental observations was demonstrated for well-buffered ACE systems.

Abstract
A CE kinetic assay was developed to study the stability of the adducts of a novel ruthenium(III)-based anticancer agent with serum proteins under simulated reductive physiological conditions. Formation of the reactive Ru(II) species and their release from the serum proteins are thought to play an important role in the mode-of-action of indazolium trans-[tetrachlorobis(1H-indazole)ruthenate(III)] (KP1019) which has successfully finished a clinical phase I study. The CE method was adapted, in zone electrophoresis and affinity CE modes, to make obvious that such transformation would take place in the hypoxic tumor tissue rather than in the bloodstream. Indeed, no measurable effect of extracellular concentration levels of glutathione incorporated into the BGE on the UV signals of albumin and transferrin adducts was observed over 30 min of examination. Incubation of the KP1019-albumin adduct with the major blood reducing agent, ascorbic acid, revealed no changes in the continuously monitored peak areas (average corrected responses were 9.56 +/- 0.86 and 9.87 +/- 0.60 mAU for the adduct and its mixtures with ascorbic acid in the physiological range of 1 x 10(-5) -8 x 10(-5) M, respectively). On the other hand, both the transferrin adduct and transferrin itself accelerated the oxidation of ascorbic acid; however, the oxidation rate constants measured by CE were virtually the same: (19.1 +/- 4.4) x 10(-3) and (18.2 +/- 5.0) x 10(-3) min(-1), respectively. In order to confirm more unambiguously the stability of KP1019-protein adducts in the presence of ascorbic acid (UV absorbance detection does not distinguish the adduct and protein signals), CE with inductively coupled plasma (ICP) MS detection was applied to follow metal-selectively the signal of bound ruthenium, which remained unaffected by this reducing agent. This work appears the first to present the application of CE to the stability studies of the protein-bound metallodrugs.

Abstract
The purpose of the present paper was to study at physiological pH the affinity between vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and four poly(amidoamine) dendrimers (PAMAMs) designed for drug delivery. Therefore, a fast and reproducible CE method was first developed to analyze the strongly basic peptide. To allow an accurate determination of binding constant (K) values, the ability to suppress peptide adsorption onto the silica capillary of nonpermanent coatings (poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), low and medium relative molecular masses poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA)) or poly(acrylamide) permanent coating (PAA) was evaluated. Very good intraday repeatability of VIP migration times and peak areas (0.1-0.6 and 2.9-4.9% RSD, respectively) was obtained using two of the investigated coatings (PEO and PDDA with medium molecular mass). ACE combined with these dynamic coatings was then employed to evaluate K between VIP and two amine-terminated PAMAM dendrimers of generation 2 and 5 (G2.NH2, G5.NH2) and two carboxyl-terminated PAMAM derivatives of generation 2 and 5 (G2.COOH, G5.COOH). Binding constant of (6.7 +/- 1.1) x 10(4)/M could be determined for the couple VIP/G5.NH2, while no affinity was evidenced between VIP and all other dendrimers investigated. These results suggest that G5.NH2 might be an interesting carrier for the delivery of VIP.

Abstract
The stability (affinity, association, binding, complexation, formation) constant characterizes binding interaction between the analyte and the complexing agent. Knowledge of the stability constant makes possible the prediction and estimation of the binding behavior of constituents (amino acids, peptides, proteins, drugs, antibiotics, enzymes, enantiomers) to their partners, and the finding of a suitable partner for the given analyte to form a stable complex. The present paper summarizes the stability constant determination methods and the approaches used to evaluate the experimental data. Further, the paper recapitulates the published stability constant values determined, mainly, by capillary electrophoretic methods, taken from the Web of Science database covering the last decade. Details of the experimental conditions employed for the determination of the stability constants are also given. The review attempts to give a critical evaluation of the problems that accompany the determination of stability constant and discusses their solution.

Abstract
ACE on a microchip (MC-ACE) is introduced as a fast and reliable method to determine binding affinities. It is based on monitoring the change in the ionic mobility of a receptor upon binding to a ligand, or vice versa. The method is complementary to other standard methods for binding affinity determinations, like isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), NMR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, etc. and allows for affinity studies of weak to strong binding interactions. The method is attractive since it principally allows for the analysis of the binding affinity of multiple receptors to a given ligand and requires comparatively small quantities of the binding partners (particularly in comparison to affinity measurements on capillary). We demonstrate the applicability of MC-ACE for the determination of the binding affinities between acid-rich diketopiperazine receptors and basic tripeptides in aqueous solution.

Abstract
Avidin and streptavidin are widely used in (strept)avidin-biotin technology, which is based on their tight biotin-binding capability. These techniques are exceptionally diverse, ranging from simple purification and labeling methods to sophisticated drug pre-targeting and nanostructure-building approaches. Improvements in protein engineering have provided new possibilities to develop tailored protein tools. The (strept)avidin scaffold has been engineered to extend the existing range of applications and to develop new ones. Modifications to (strept)avidins--such as simple amino acid substitutions to reduce biotin binding and alter physico-chemical characters--have recently developed into more sophisticated changes, including chimeric (strept)avidins, topology rearrangements and stitching of non-natural amino acids into the active sites. In this review, we highlight the current status in genetically engineered (strept)avidins and illustrate their versatility as advanced tools in the multiple fields of modern bioscience, medicine and nanotechnology.

Abstract
To overcome several problems in affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE), i.e., low detectability, need for sample derivatization, and difficulty in the fixation of affinity ligands (ALs), multifunctional magnetic particles (MFMPs) were prepared by immobilizing both fluorescent molecules and ALs for low-density lipoproteins onto the surface of magnetic polymer microspheres with a polyelectrolyte multilayer coating technique and applied to the ACE analysis. The prepared MFMPs showed a remarkable change in the electrophoretic mobility (mu ep) by the addition of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), whereas for high-density lipoproteins (HDL), mu ep of the MFMPs kept constant, so that it was confirmed that the MFMPs possess an affinity with LDL. On the other hand, the MFMPs can be trapped by the magnetic field even under a higher electric field for electrophoresis. By a successive on-off control of the magnetic field, online preconcentration of the LDL bound MFMPs and the selective separation of LDL from HDL were successfully achieved. In the ACE analysis of LDL employing UV detection, an 82-fold increase in the sensitivity was obtained by the on-capillary sample preconcentration using the MFMPs. When laser induced-fluorescence detection was employed, furthermore, the limit of detection for LDL was improved to the order of subpicomolar.

Abstract
Affinity CE (ACE) method was developed to characterize the complex formation between seven alkyl(methyl)methylimidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL) cations and eight neutral cyclodextrins (CD). The effective mobility data of the IL cations were processed according to classical nonlinear and linear treatments to obtain the complex stoichiometry and formation constant K. The majority of systems followed a 1:1 complexation stoichiometry model but in four cases a 1:2 stoichiometry was better satisfied. The K values obtained for each IL were compared to elucidate the main influences of IL and CD nature. The availability of these data should lend support to various application areas, including the screening and tailoring of new interactions in the solution for CE.

Abstract
This review article is aimed at assessing the recent progress made in affinity nano-LC and affinity CEC performed in capillaries and microchips. A variety of biospecific interactions is covered including lectin affinity, immunoaffinity, immobilized metal affinity, sugar-based affinity, protein A affinity, protein G affinity, aptamer affinity, enzyme affinity, and other miscellanea. ACE involving affinity interaction in free solution is not covered in this review article. Also, affinity-based separations involving chiral recognition are not the subject of this review article because they are the topic of a more specialized review article on chiral separations in this special issue. A total of 31 papers published in the period 1998-2006 have been discussed in this review article.

Abstract
CE frontal analysis (CE-FA) has been established as a powerful tool to study noncovalent interactions between macromolecules and small molecules such as drug substances or pharmaceutical excipients. However, when using traditional commercial CE instrumentation, a serious drawback is related to the fact that only UV-active compounds can be studied. In recent years, contactless conductivity detection has become an attractive alternative to UV detection in CE due to its high versatility. In this study, we combine contactless conductivity detection and UV detection in a highly versatile setup for profiling noncovalent interactions between low-molecular-weight molecules and macromolecules. In the case of molecules having a chromophore the setup allows determination of binding constants using two independent detectors. The new contactless conductivity detection cell is compatible with commercial CE instrumentation and is therefore easily implemented in any analysis laboratory with CE expertise.

Abstract
The use of solid-phase extraction coupled on-line to capillary electrophoresis using electrospray mass spectrometry detection (SPE-CE-ESI-MS) is described for the analysis of peptides in dilute solutions. A SPE microcartridge or analyte concentrator containing C(18) derivatized silica particles as the extraction sorbent was easily constructed near the inlet of the separation capillary using commercially available materials. The reversed-phase sorbent selectively retained the target peptides, enabling large volumes of the sample to be introduced (>100muL). The captured analytes were eluted in a small volume of an appropriate solution (20-50nL). This resulted in sample clean-up and concentration enhancement, with minimum sample handling. As the SPE-CE conditions were compatible with on-line ESI-MS detection, the potential for identifying and characterizing the preconcentrated analytes by SPE-CE-ESI-MS using a sheath-flow CE-ESI-MS interface is also shown. Using separation electrolytes containing N-[carbamoylmethyl]-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (ACES) at pH 7.4, an elution plug of 80:20 (v/v) (25mM of formic acid in MeCN):H(2)O and a sheath liquid of 20mM of acetic acid in 50:50 (v/v) methanol:H(2)O the concentration limits of detection for the analyzed peptides in the positive ion mode were lowered to nanogram per milliliter levels. The systematic optimization of the operational parameters involved in the development of the SPE-CE method is described in detail, in order to promote robust and quantitative SPE-CE-ESI-MS analysis and facilitate the widespread use of the technique.

Abstract
The interaction of drugs with DNA is an important aspect in pharmacology. In recent years, many important technological advances have been made to develop new techniques to monitor biorecognition and biointeraction on solid devices. The interaction between DNA and drugs can cause chemical and conformational modifications and, thus, variation of the electrochemical properties of nucleobases. The propensity of a given compound to interact with DNA is measured as a function of the decrease of guanine oxidation signal on a DNA electrochemical biosensor. Covalent binding at N7 of guanine, electrostatic interactions, and intercalation are the events that this kind of biosensor can detect. In this context, the interaction between a panel of antitumoral Pt-, Ru-, and Ti-based metallodrugs with DNA immobilized on screen-printed electrodes has been studied. The DNA biosensors are used for semiquantitative evaluation of the analogous interaction occurring in the biological environment.

Abstract
Capture and detection of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in simple solution and in human serum using an aptamer-modified probe surface for affinity matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectroscopy detection is reported. Detectable signals were obtained for 1 amol of IgE applied either in a single, 1microL application of 1 pM IgE or after 10 successive, 1-microL applications of 100 fM IgE. In both cases, the surface was rinsed after each application of IgE to remove sample concomitants including salts and free or nonspecifically associated proteins. Detection of native IgE, which is the least abundant of the serum immunoglobulins and occurs at subnanomolar levels, in human serum was demonstrated and interference from the high-abundance immunoglobulins and albumin was investigated. The aptamer-modified surface showed high selectivity toward immunoglobulins in serum, with no significant interference from serum albumin. Addition of IgE to the serum suppressed the signals from the other immunoglobulins, confirming the expected selectivity of the aptamer surface toward IgE. Dilution of the serum increased the selectivity toward IgE; the protein was detected without interference in a 10,000-fold dilution of the serum, which is consistent with detection of IgE at amol (pM) levels in standard solutions.

Abstract
High-speed capillary electrophoresis (CE) was employed to detect binding and inhibition of SH2 domain proteins using fluorescently labeled phosphopeptides as affinity probes. Single SH2 protein-phosphopeptide complexes were detected and confirmed by competition and fluorescence anisotropy. The assay was then extended to a multiplexed system involving separation of three SH2 domain proteins: Src, SH2-Bbeta, and Fyn. The selectivity of the separation was improved by altering the charge of the peptide binding partners used, thus demonstrating a convenient way to control resolution for the multiplexed assay. The separation was completed within 6 s, allowing rapidly dissociating complexes to be detected. Two low molecular weight inhibitors were tested for inhibition selectivity and efficacy. One inhibitor interrupted binding interaction of all three proteins, while the other selectively inhibited Src only leaving SH2-Bbeta and Fyn complex barely affected. IC(50) of both selective and nonselective inhibitors were determined and compared for different proteins. The IC(50) of the nonselective inhibitor was 49 +/- 9, 323 +/- 42, and 228 +/- 19 microM (n = 3) for Src, SH2-Bbeta, and Fyn, respectively, indicating different efficacy of the nonselective inhibitor for different SH2 domain protein. It is concluded that high-speed CE has the potential for multiplexed screening of drugs that disrupt protein-protein interactions.

Abstract
SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment) is a process that involves the progressive purification from a combinatorial library of nucleic acid ligands with a high affinity for a particular target by repeated rounds of partitioning and amplification. With the development of aptamer technology over the last decade, various modified SELEX processes have arisen that allow various aptamers to be developed against a wide variety of molecules, irrespective of the target size. In the present review, the separation methods used in such SELEX processes are reviewed.

Abstract
CE offers the advantages of high speed, great efficiency, as well as the requirement of minimum amounts of sample and buffer for the analysis of proteins. In this review, we summarize the CE-based techniques coupled with absorption, LIF, and MS detection systems for the analysis of proteins mostly within the past 5 years. The basic principle of each technique and its advantages and disadvantages for protein analysis are discussed in brief. Advanced CE techniques, including on-column concentration techniques and high-efficiency multidimensional separation techniques, for high-throughput protein profiling of complex biological samples and/or of single cells are emphasized. Although the developed techniques provide improved peak capacity, they have not become practical tools for proteomics, mainly because of poor reproducibility, low-sample lading capacity, and low throughput due to ineffective interfaces between two separation dimensions and that between separation and MS systems. In order to identify the complexities and dynamics of the proteomes expressed by cells, tissues, or organisms, techniques providing improved analytical sensitivity, throughput, and dynamic ranges are still demanded.

Abstract
The versatility of CE is beneficial for the study of many types of molecular interactions, because different experimental designs can be made to suit the characteristics of a particular interaction. A very versatile starting point is the preequilibration type of affinity CE that has been used extensively for characterizing biomolecular interactions in the last 15 years. We review this field here and include a comprehensive overview of the existing preincubation ACE modes including their advantages and limitations as well as the methodological developments and applications within the bioanalytical field.

Abstract
Advances in instrumentation and methodologies are urgently needed to achieve, rapid, simultaneous and sensitive determination of multiple substances found at a wide range of concentrations in biological fluids, tissues and cells. The application of immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis in life sciences is already having an impact on the quantification of many biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring the prognosis of diseases. This review explains how immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis, the combination of highly selective antibody capture agents with the high resolving power of capillary electrophoresis, can provide highly specific assays leading to the selective isolation, concentration, separation and quantification of analytes of interest in complex biological matrices. In addition to a discussion of the technology, some applications of clinical and pharmaceutical relevance will be presented.:
