Abstract
Detailed studies on the sorption behavior of plasmids on anion exchangers are rare compared to proteins. In this study, we systematically compare the elution behavior of plasmid DNA on three common anion exchange resins using linear gradient and isocratic elution experiments. Two plasmids of different lengths, 8 and 20 kbp, were studied and their elution characteristics were compared to a green fluorescent protein. Using established methods for determining retention characteristics of biomolecules in ion exchange chromatography lead to remarkable results. In contrast to the green fluorescent protein, plasmid DNA consistently elutes at one characteristic salt concentration in linear gradient elution. This salt concentration was the same independent of plasmid size but differed slightly for different resins. The behavior is consistent also at preparative loadings of plasmid DNA. Thus, only a single linear gradient elution experiment is sufficient to design elution in a process scale capture step. At isocratic elution conditions, plasmid DNA elutes only above this characteristic concentration. Even at slightly lower concentrations most plasmids remain tightly bound. We hypothesize, that the desorption is accompanied by a conformational change leading to a reduced number of available negative charges for binding. This explanation is supported by structural analysis before and after elution.

Abstract
Phenylboronate chromatography has been employed for bioseparation applications though details concerning the mechanisms of interaction between the ligand and macromolecules remain widely unknown. Here, the phenomena underlying the adsorption of an anti-human interleukin-8 (anti-IL8) monoclonal antibody (mAb) onto an m-aminophenylboronic acid (m-APBA) ligand in the presence of different mobile-phase modulators (NaF/MgCl 2 /(NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 ) and under different pH values (7.5/8.5/9.0) is investigated. Flow microcalorimetry (FMC) is applied to measure instantaneous heat energy transfer, providing insights about the role of specific and nonspecific interactions involved in the adsorptive process. Results show that the adsorption of anti-IL8 mAb to m-APBA is enthalpically driven, corroborating the presence of the reversible esterification reaction between boronic acid or boronates and cis-diol-containing molecules. Nevertheless, for all mobile-phase modulators studied, changes in thermogram profiles are observed as well as reductions in the net heat of adsorption when increasing the pH. Overall, FMC and parallel chromatographic experiments data suggest that ligand salt tolerance could be enhanced using mobile-phase modulators, with all salts studied promoting the specific cis-diol interactions and reducing nonspecific interactions. The last feature is more noticeable at pH values above ligand's pK a , mainly due to the ability of NaF and (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 to diminish electrostatic interactions when compared to the commonly used NaCl.
