Abstract
This study explores the use of l-methionine derivative as a potential affinity ligand for nucleic acids purification. The l-methionine derivative is synthesized by activation of the carboxylic acid group with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide follow by immobilization on amine sensor surface, previously activated and treated with ethylenediamine. Their affinity towards oligonucleotides has been determined by surface plasmon resonance biosensor. The highest affinity is found for cytosine and thymine, followed by adenine, whereas the lowest affinity is found for guanine. For hetero-oligonucleotides the affinity order is CCCTTT > CCCAAA ≈ AAATTT > GGGTTT, showing that nucleotides with cytosine have the highest affinity, and the presence of guanine reduces the affinity, corroborating with the results obtained with homo-oligonucleotides.

Abstract
A noncompetitive peak decay method was used with 1 mm×4.6 mm id silica monoliths to measure the dissociation rate constants (kd) for various drugs with human serum albumin (HSA) and α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP). Flow rates up to 9 mL/min were used in these experiments, resulting in analysis times of only 20-30 s. Using a silica monolith containing immobilized HSA, dissociation rate constants were measured for amitriptyline, carboplatin, cisplatin, chloramphenicol, nortriptyline, quinidine, and verapamil, giving values that ranged from 0.37 to 0.78 s(-1). Similar work with an immobilized AGP silica monolith gave kd values for amitriptyline, nortriptyline, and lidocaine of 0.39-0.73 s(-1). These kd values showed good agreement with values determined for drugs with similar structures and/or affinities for HSA or AGP. It was found that a kd of up to roughly 0.80 s(-1) could be measured by this approach. This information made it possible to obtain a better understanding of the advantages and possible limitations of the noncompetitive peak decay method and in the use of affinity silica monoliths for the high-throughput analysis of drug-protein dissociation.

Abstract
LC on short monolithic columns (Convective Interaction Medium Disks) was applied to investigate several specially synthesized water soluble polycations of different charge type (primary, tertiary, quaternary amine), as well as a copolymer of neutral saccharide and cationic monomers, regarding their ability to form reversible complexes with DNA. For this purpose, two separation modes were used, namely, pseudo-affinity and cation-exchange chromatography. Synthetic polynucleotides, namely, polyriboadenylic acid (poly(rA)) and polyribocytidylic acid (poly(rC)), were used as approximate structural analogues of DNA. In first case, the hypothetical specific binding between dissolved polymers and polynucleotide (poly(rA) or poly(rC)), covalently attached to epoxy-bearing monolithic sorbent, has been studied and compared to the results obtained using cation exchange chromatography. Quantitative parameters of interactions between macromolecules were established using frontal elution method.

Abstract
Arginine has been effectively used in several chromatography methodologies to improve recovery, resolution, and to suppress aggregation. Recently, arginine chromatography was used to fully separate supercoiled and open circular plasmid DNA isoforms. The specific recognition of supercoiled plasmid isoform by arginine was hypothesised to be due to the ability of arginine matrix to be involved in complex interactions that are partly dependent on the conformation of the DNA molecule. In light of these considerations a study was conducted to understand the several interactions that a DNA molecule can promote with the arginine support, in accordance with the chromatographic conditions established. Consequently, knowing the ideal conditions to promote the specific interactions, it could be possible to perform a more targeted and efficient purification. This work describes the chromatography of oligonucleotides with sizes up to 30 bases on the arginine-agarose gel. The effect of several conditions like hydrophobic character of the individual bases, molecular mass of the oligonucleotides, presence of secondary structures, temperature and elution buffer composition (salt and arginine supplemented buffer) was investigated. According to previous atomic data referent to possible interactions between amino acids and DNA nucleotides, arginine can preferentially interact with guanine by hydrogen bond, but other interactions (ionic interactions, van der Waals contacts, water mediated bonds) may also be present and become dominant depending on the conditions used. The results also revealed that the application of arginine in the elution buffer led to an effective elution of oligonucleotides from the arginine chromatographic support by a competition strategy. In general, it was suggested that the affinity interaction promoted by the arginine support is responsible for the specific recognition of particular oligonucleotide bases, involving multiple interactions.

Abstract
Silica monoliths in affinity microcolumns were tested for the high-throughput analysis of drug-protein interactions. HSA was used as a model protein for this work, while carbamazepine and R-warfarin were used as model analytes. A comparison of HSA silica monoliths of various lengths indicated columns as short as 1 to 3 mm could be used to provide reproducible estimates of retention factors or plate heights. Benefits of using smaller columns for this work included the lower retention times and lower back pressures that could be obtained versus traditional HPLC affinity columns, as well as the smaller amount of protein that is required for column preparation. One disadvantage of decreasing column length was the lower precision that resulted in retention factor and plate height measurements. A comparison was also made between microcolumns containing silica particles versus silica monoliths. It was demonstrated with R-warfarin that supports could be used in HSA microcolumns for the determination of retention factors or plate heights. However, the higher efficiency of the silica monolith made this the preferred support for work at higher flow rates or when a larger number of plates are needed during the rapid analysis of drug-protein interactions.

Abstract
An affinity monolith based on silica and containing immobilized human serum albumin (HSA) was developed and evaluated in terms of its binding, efficiency and selectivity in chiral separations. The results were compared with data obtained for the same protein when used as a chiral stationary phase with HPLC-grade silica particles or a monolith based on a copolymer of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA). The surface coverage of HSA in the silica monolith was similar to values obtained with silica particles and a GMA/EDMA monolith. However, the higher surface area of the silica monolith gave a material that contained 1.3-2.2-times more immobilized HSA per unit volume when compared to silica particles or a GMA/EDMA monolith. The retention, efficiency and resolving power of the HSA silica monolith were evaluated using two chiral analytes: d/l-tryptophan and R/S-warfarin. The separation of R- and S-ibuprofen was also considered. The HSA silica monolith gave higher retention and higher or comparable resolution and efficiency when compared with HSA columns that contained silica particles or a GMA/EDMA monolith. The silica monolith also gave lower back pressures and separation impedances than these other materials. It was concluded that silica monoliths can be valuable alternatives to silica particles or GMA/EDMA monoliths when used with immobilized HSA as a chiral stationary phase.

Abstract
The development and characterization of an anti-aflatoxin B1 (anti-AFB1) immunoaffinity monolithic disk is reported. Polyclonal anti-AFB1 was covalently immobilized in batch on an epoxy-activated monolithic Convective Interaction Media (CIM) disk (12 mm x 3 mm i.d.) by a one-step reaction via epoxy groups of the polymer surface. 0.96 mg of antibody were immobilized and the binding capacity of the CIM disk was determined by frontal analysis. The CIM disk was coupled through a switching valve to a reversed-phase column, namely Chromolith Performance RP-18e. A fully automated HPLC method with fluorescence detection for the determination of aflatoxin B1 in aqueous solution was developed. The total analysis time with the integrated system is 46 min and the retention time of AFB1 is approximately 29 min. The binding capacity of the immunoaffinity disk was evaluated in terms of linearity, precision and accuracy of the extraction procedure. The immunoaffinity support was stable after repeated runs.

Abstract
The subject of this paper is an investigation of the peculiarities of dynamic adsorption behavior of nanoparticles. For this purpose, virus-mimicking synthetic particles bearing different proteins at their outer surface were specially constructed using two approaches, e.g. the cross-linking of proteins and modification of polystyrene microsphere surface by proteins. Two chromatographic modes, namely ion-exchange and affinity liquid chromatography on ultra-short monolithic columns [Convective Interaction Media (CIM) DEAE and CIM QA disks] have been used as a tool for dynamic adsorption experiments. Such parameters as maximum adsorption capacity and its dependence on applied flow rate were established and compared with those obtained for individual proteins. Similarly to individual proteins, it was shown that the maximum of adsorption capacity was not changed at different flow rates. In addition, the permeability of porous space of used monolithic sorbents appeared to be sufficient for efficient separation of large particles and quite similar to the well-studied process applied for individual proteins.

Abstract
Ion chromatography on a 4.0-mm-long (3.0 mm ID) ion exchange column is presented. Using a 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2.22) the separation of up to six UV-absorbing anions was obtained using the microcolumn, containing 5 microm RP support (Phenomenex Gemini) coated with the zwitterionic surfactant, (N-dodecyl-N,N-dimethylammonio) undecanoate. The short analytical column facilitated the application of a flow gradient programme over the flow range 0.3-5 mL/min resulting in optimum resolution of nitrite, nitrate, benzoate, iodide, thiocyanate and trichloroacetate in less than 10 min. The effect of both eluent concentration and pH on the retention of six selected anions was investigated, showing a strong pH capacity dependence. The microcolumn was found to exhibit no selectivity towards chloride and so was well suited to the analysis of saline samples. To illustrate this, the rapid analysis of a concentrated iodized table salt sample (20 g/L) was carried out. Following standard addition, a concentration of 3.55 +/- 0.05 microg iodide/g and 1.05 +/- 0.02 microg iodate/g in the solid salt sample was determined.
