[PMID: 39059302 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.465204] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2024] [Revised: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
Hierarchically porous monoliths with satisfactory properties have been employed in diverse fields, especially separation. In this study, pentafluorophenyl acrylate (PFPA), pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETA) and trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptopropionate) (TTMP) were selected as precursors to fabricate a novel monolithic column by thermally initiated polymerization in the presence of a binary porogenic system containing tetrahydrofuran and 1-propanol. The fabricated poly(PFPA-co-PETA-co-TTMP) monolithic column revealed excellent permeability and mechanical stability. Additionally, baseline separation of the mixture of small molecules can be achieved, involving alkylbenzene and fluorobenzene in chromatographic assessment, and the theoretical plate number is up to 60,500 plates/m for butylbenzene with a linear velocity of 0.14 mm/s. Tryptic digest of HeLa as an analyte was used to investigate the possibility of the poly(PFPA-co-PETA-co-TTMP) monolith in biological separation by cLC-MS/MS. Moreover, benefiting from the existence of pentafluorophenyl groups, the cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) could be modified on the prepared poly(PFPA-co-PETA-co-TTMP) monolith through host-guest interaction to obtain poly(PFPA-co-PETA-co-TTMP)-CB[8] monolith. It could be observed that significant changes in retention behavior of analytes appeared after immobilizing CB[8] on the monolith. It offered an innovative approach by utilizing host-guest interaction to fabricate monolithic columns with different chromatographic behaviors.

Efficient and rapid digestion of proteins with a dual-enzyme microreactor featuring 3-D pores formed by dopamine/polyethyleneimine/acrylamide-coated KIT-6 molecular sieve. Sci Rep 2024; 14:15667. [PMID: 38977741 PMCID: PMC11231357 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-65045-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024] Open
Abstract
The microreactor with two types of immobilized enzymes, exhibiting excellent orthogonal performance, represents an effective approach to counteract the reduced digestion efficiency resulting from the absence of a single enzyme cleavage site, thereby impacting protein identification. In this study, we developed a hydrophilic dual-enzyme microreactor characterized by rapid mass transfer and superior enzymatic activity. Initially, we selected KIT-6 molecular sieve as the carrier for the dual-IMER due to its three-dimensional network pore structure. Modification involved co-deposition of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and acrylamide (AM) as amine donors, along with dopamine to enhance material hydrophilicity. Remaining amino and double bond functional groups facilitated stepwise immobilization of trypsin and Glu-C. Digestion times for bovine serum albumin (BSA) and bovine hemoglobin (BHb) on the dual-IMER were significantly reduced compared to solution-based digestion (1 min vs. 36 h), resulting in improved sequence coverage (91.30% vs. 82.7% for BSA; 90.24% vs. 89.20% for BHb). Additionally, the dual-IMER demonstrated excellent durability, retaining 96.08% relative activity after 29 reuse cycles. Enhanced protein digestion efficiency can be attributed to several factors: (1) KIT-6's large specific surface area, enabling higher enzyme loading capacity; (2) Its three-dimensional network pore structure, facilitating faster mass transfer and substance diffusion; (3) Orthogonality of trypsin and Glu-C enzyme cleavage sites; (4) The spatial effect introduced by the chain structure of PEI and glutaraldehyde's spacing arm, reducing spatial hindrance and enhancing enzyme-substrate interactions; (5) Mild and stable enzyme immobilization. The KIT-6-based dual-IMER offers a promising technical tool for protein digestion, while the PDA/PEI/AM-KIT-6 platform holds potential for immobilizing other proteins or active substances.

Abstract
A revolution in chemical biology occurred with the introduction of click chemistry. Click chemistry plays an important role in protein chemistry modifications, providing specific, sensitive, rapid, and easy-to-handle methods. Under physiological conditions, click chemistry often overlaps with bioorthogonal chemistry, defined as reactions that occur rapidly and selectively without interfering with biological processes. Click chemistry is used for the posttranslational modification of proteins based on covalent bond formations. With the contribution of click reactions, selective modification of proteins would be developed, representing an alternative to other technologies in preparing new proteins or enzymes for studying specific protein functions in different biological processes. Click-modified proteins have potential in diverse applications such as imaging, labeling, sensing, drug design, and enzyme technology. Due to the promising role of proteins in disease diagnosis and therapy, this review aims to highlight the growing applications of click strategies in protein chemistry over the last two decades, with a special emphasis on medicinal applications.

Abstract
A new strategy of improving boronate avidity with good accessibility of sites was suggested by utilizing a dendrimer-like structure of boron materials based on octavinyl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (Ov-POSS). 3-(Acrylamido)phenylboronic acid (AAPBA) was used as a functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) and Ov-POSS as cross-linkers. The resulting Ov-POSS cross-linked boron monolith exhibited 27 times stronger affinity for glycoproteins than the Ov-POSS-free monolith. Importantly, the bonding strength of the poly(AAPBA-co-Ov-POSS-co-EDMA) monolith to the glycoproteins with multiple sugars, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was 4 orders of magnitude higher than that of the single cis-diol-containing compound. The resulting monolith was used as a part of a microfluidic platform for online processing of the protein extracts from mouse liver, which integrated five functions, including protein grading, denaturation, enzymatic hydrolysis, and enrichment of glycopeptides and ubiquitin-modified peptides. The sample processing time can be reduced by nearly half compared to the offline method. Moreover, 86.7% of glycopeptides and 75% of glycoproteins were newly identified after treatment. All of the results indicated that the synergistic strategy of Ov-POSS cross-linking can significantly improve trace glycosylation's binding capacity and enrichment performance. The microfluidic platform developed may provide a promising technical tool for automated, high-efficiency, high-throughput analysis for post-translational modification proteomics.

Abstract
The last two decades have seen the rapid expansion of click chemistry methodology in various domains closely related to organic chemistry. It has notably been widely developed in the area of surface chemistry, mainly because of the high-yielding character of reactions of the "click" type. Especially, this powerful chemical reaction toolbox has been adapted to the preparation of stationary phases from the corresponding chromatographic supports. A plethora of selectors can thus be immobilized on either organic, inorganic, or hybrid stationary phases that can be used in different chromatographic modes. This review first highlights the few different chemical ligation strategies of the "click" type that are up to now mainly devoted to the development of functionalized supports for separation sciences. Then, it gives in a second part an up-to-date survey of the different studies dedicated to the preparation of click chemistry-based chromatographic supports while highlighting the powerful and versatile character of the "click" ligation strategy for the design, synthesis, and developments of more and more complex systems that can find promising applications in the area of analytical sciences, in domains as varied as enantioselective separation, glycomics, proteomics, genomics, metabolomics, etc.

Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14091695.

Abstract
A series of stimuli-responsive star-like block copolymers are synthesized via the combination of reversible addition, fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, and photo-initiated thiol-ene (PITE) click reaction. The controllable block ratio and block sequence, narrow distribution of molecular weight, and customized arm numbers of the star-shaped copolymers reveal the feasibility and benefits of combination of RAFT polymerization and PITE click reaction for synthesis of well-defined star-like (co)polymers. A clear insight into the relationship among the arm number, block sequence, and block ratio of the star-like block copolymers and their stimuli-responsive aggregation behavior was achieved via dynamic light scattering and UV-vis spectroscopy study. Notably, the star-like poly(acrylic acid)-b-poly(2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) (star-PAA-b-PDMAEMA) shows higher lower critical solution temperature (LCST) compared to star-PDMAEMA-b-PAA with the same arm number and block ratio due to the inner charged PAA segments at pH > IEP. In addition, for star-like PAA-b-PDMAEMA, higher PAA content enhances the hydrophilicity of the polymer in basic solution and leads to the LCST increase, except for star-PAA1-b-PDMAEMA4 at pH = 9.0 (≈IEP). For star-PDMAEMA-b-PAA, the PAA content shows minimal effect on their LCSTs, except for the polymer in solution with pH = 9.5, which is far from their IEP. The star-like block copolymers with well-defined structure and tunable composition, especially the facile-controlled block sequence, bring us a challenging opportunity to control the stimuli-responsive properties of star-like block copolymers.

Abstract
Given the strong interdisciplinary nature of microfluidic immobilized enzyme reactor (μ-IMER) technology, several branches of science contribute to its successful implementation. A combination of physical, chemical knowledge and engineering skills is often required. The development and application of μ-IMERs in the proteomic community are experiencing increasing importance due to their attractive features of enzyme reusability, shorter digestion times, the ability to handle minute volumes of sample and the prospect of on-line integration into analytical workflows. The aim of this review is to give an account of the current (2017–2021) trends regarding the preparation of microdevices, immobilization strategies, and IMER configurations. The different aspects of microfabrication (designs, fabrication technologies and detectors) and enzyme immobilization (empty and packed channels, and monolithic supports) are surveyed focusing on μ-IMERs developed for proteomic analysis. Based on the advantages and limitations of the published approaches and the different applications, a probable perspective is given.

Abstract
The surface chemistry, pendent functional entities, and ease in tunability of various materials play a central role in properly coordinating with enzymes for immobilization purposes. Due to the interplay between the new wave of support matrices and enzymes, the development of robust biocatalytic constructs via protein engineering expands the practical scope and tunable catalysis functions. The concept of stabilization via functional entities manipulation, the surface that comprises functional groups, such as thiol, aldehyde, carboxylic, amine, and epoxy have been the important driving force for immobilizing purposes. Enzyme immobilization using multi-functional supports has become a powerful norm and presents noteworthy characteristics, such as selectivity, specificity, stability, resistivity, induce activity, reaction efficacy, multi-usability, high catalytic turnover, optimal yield, ease in recovery, and cost-effectiveness. There is a plethora of literature on traditional immobilization approaches, e.g., intramolecular chemical (covalent) attachment, adsorption, encapsulation, entrapment, and cross-linking. However, the existing literature is lacking state-of-the-art smart chemistry of immobilization. This review is a focused attempt to cover the literature gap of surface functional entities that interplay between support materials at large and enzyme of interest, in particular, to tailor robust biocatalysts to fulfill the growing and contemporary needs of several industrial sectors.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) incorporated with liquid crystalline monomers can imprint and recognize templates at a very low level of crosslinking, thus addressing challenges associated with conventional MIPs, such as the embedding of the imprinted sites, low binding capacity, and slow mass transfer due to the high degree of crosslinking. Compared with traditional MIPs, the prepared MIPs have a greater number of easily binding sites, which can effectively overcome the embedding and low utilization of imprinting sites. Simultaneously, with a decrease in the level of chemical crosslinking, the mass transfer of template molecules can be significantly improved. However, the imprinting effect of liquid crystalline MIPs is generally weaker than that of traditional MIPs due to the low degree of crosslinking. Therefore, to obtain liquid crystalline MIPs with a good imprinting effect, a series of low-crosslinked liquid crystalline molecularly imprinted monoliths were prepared by graft polymerization and evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to systematically determine the relation between the polymerization parameters and the affinity of the resulting liquid crystalline MIPs. In this experiment, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM) was used to synthesize a monolithic column skeleton with toluene and dodecyl alcohol as porogens. (S)-Naproxen was used as a template and liquid crystalline monomer 4-(4-cyanophenyl)-cyclohexyl ethylene (CPCE) was added for grafting to synthesize the liquid crystalline MIP monolith. The influence of the acetonitrile content and pH in the mobile phase on the chromatographic retention of the template molecule was investigated. The results showed that the main force of MIP recognizing naproxen changed from hydrogen bonding to hydrophobic interaction by the addition of the liquid crystalline monomer. Frontal analysis and adsorption isotherm fitting, including Langmuir, Freundlich, and Scatchard fitting, showed that when the crosslinking degree was 15%, the liquid crystalline MIPs exhibited the highest imprinting factor and heterogeneity, and the specific adsorption was stronger than non-specific adsorption. By analyzing the stoichiometric displacement model, the total affinity of the MIP monoliths for the template molecules (ln A) was determined to be 0.645, significantly higher than that of its analogues, indicating that the liquid crystalline imprinted monolith had a higher total affinity for the template molecule. The spatial matching degree (nβ) of the template molecule to the cavity structures of MIPs was also very high, and only inferior to that of ketoprofen. Nevertheless, the ln A value of ketoprofen was only 0.242, which indicated that the spatial effect was not the key factor in determining the recognition ability of liquid crystalline imprinting systems. An analysis of the separation thermodynamics revealed that the separation of the liquid crystalline MIPs was an entropy-controlled process, while that of conventional liquid crystalline-free MIPs was an enthalpy-controlled process. Based on the above results, the addition of a liquid crystalline monomer may alter the recognition mechanism of MIPs, and an appropriately low crosslinking degree can significantly improve the recognition performance of liquid crystalline MIPs, paving the way for a new generation of MIPs.

Abstract
Microfluidic system with multi-functional integration of high-throughput protein/peptide separation ability has great potential for improving the identification capacity of biological samples in proteomics. In this paper, a sample treatment platform was constructed by integrating reversed phase chromatography, immobilized enzyme reactor (IMER) and imprinted monolith through a microfluidic chip to achieve the online proteins fractionation, denaturation, digestion and peptides enrichment. We firstly synthesized a poly-allyl phenoxyacetate (AP) monolith and a lysine-glycine-glycine (KGG) imprinted monolith separately, and investigated in detail their performance in fractionating proteins and extracting KGG from the protein digests of MCF-7 cell. The removal percentage of 94.6% for MCF-7 cell protein and the recovery of 90.8% for KGG were obtained. The number of proteins and peptides identified on this microfluidic platform was 2,004 and 8,797, respectively, which was 2.8-fold and 3.0-fold higher than that of untreatment sample. The time consumed by this platform for a sample treatment was about 9.6 h, less than that of conventional method (approximate 13.3 h). In addition, this platform can enrich some peptide fragments containing KGG based on imprinted monolith, which can be served for the identification of ubiquitin-modified proteomics. The successful construction of this integrated microfluidic platform provides a considerable and efficient technical tool for simultaneous identification of proteomics and post-translational modification proteomics information.

Abstract
The number of methodologies for the immobilization of enzymes using polymeric supports is continuously growing due to the developments in the fields of biotechnology, polymer chemistry, and nanotechnology in the last years. Despite being excellent catalysts, enzymes are very sensitive molecules and can undergo denaturation beyond their natural environment. For overcoming this issue, polymer chemistry offers a wealth of opportunities for the successful combination of enzymes with versatile natural or synthetic polymers. The fabrication of functional, stable, and robust biocatalytic hybrid materials (nanoparticles, capsules, hydrogels, or films) has been proven advantageous for several applications such as biomedicine, organic synthesis, biosensing, and bioremediation. In this review, supported with recent examples of enzyme-protein hybrids, we provide an overview of the methods used to combine both macromolecules, as well as the future directions and the main challenges that are currently being tackled in this field.
