Abstract
Accurate orientations and stable conformations of membrane receptor immobilization are particularly imperative for accurate drug screening and ligand-protein affinity analysis. However, there remain challenges associated with (1) traditional recombination, purification, and immobilization of membrane receptors, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive; (2) the orientations on the stationary phase are not easily controlled. Herein, a novel one-step synthesis and oriented-immobilization membrane-receptor affinity chromatography (oSOMAC) method was developed to realize high-throughput and accurate drug screening targeting specific domains of membrane receptors. We employed Strep-tag II as a noncovalent immobilization tag fused into platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ) through CFPS, and meanwhile, the Strep-Tactin-modified monolithic columns are prepared in batches. The advantages of oSOMAC are as follows: (1) targeted membrane receptors can be expressed independent of living cell within 1-2 h; (2) orientation of membrane receptors can be flexibly controlled and active sites can expose accurately; and (3) targeted membrane receptors can be synthesized, purified, and orientation-immobilized on monolithic columns in one step. Accordingly, three potential PDGFRβ intracellular domain targeted ligands: tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA), hydroxytanshinone IIA, and dehydrotanshinone IIA were successfully screened out from Salvia miltiorrhiza extract through oSOMAC. Pharmacological experiments and molecular docking further demonstrated that Tan IIA could attenuate hepatic stellate cells activation by targeting the protein kinase domain of PDGFRβ with a KD value of 9.7 μM. Ultimately, the novel oSOMAC method provides an original insight for accurate drug screening and interaction analysis which can be applied in other membrane receptors.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGS) are involved in many biological processes through interactions with a variety of proteins, including proteases, growth factors, cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules. Identifying druggable GAG-protein interactions for therapeutic purposes is a challenge for the analytical community. In this context, this work investigates the use of a new miniaturized monolithic affinity column (poly(GMA-co-MBA) grafted with antithrombin III (AT III)) to specifically capture and elute high affinity sequences contained in low molecular weight heparin (enoxaparin) for further on-line characterization. This miniaturized, high binding capacity affinity column allows the specific capture of high-affinity oligosaccharide chains from Enoxaparin, even at low concentrations and with a minimal consumption of AT III. In addition to purification, this elution process enables preconcentration for direct analysis by capillary zone electrophoresis. It was found that many of oligosaccharide chains in enoxaparin were eliminated and that certain chain sequences were retained and enriched. Direct coupling with MALDI-TOF MS was successfully used to further characterize the specifically retained oligosaccharides where nano-ESI-TOF MS failed. After optimization of the sample preparation and ionization parameters, direct on-line analysis was performed by applying the elution volume released from the miniaturized affinity column (≤1 μL) directly to the MALDI plate. Finally, this original miniaturized analytical workflow coupling miniaturized AT III-affinity chromatography to MALDI-TOF MS detection is able to select, enrich and detect and identify high affinity sequences (mainly DP4 in size length with a high degree of sulfation) from low molecular weight heparin samples. A more specific selection of GAG sequences can be achieved by increasing the ionic strength during the washing step of affinity chromatography. This is consistent with the known binding pattern between heparin and AT III.

Abstract
We report an original methodology based on affinity chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry to decipher the complexity of dynamic combinatorial libraries (DCLs) of glycoclusters. Such libraries are intended to boost the design of potential therapeutic anti-infectious agents targeting Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is responsible for numerous diseases, mostly found in hospitals as major a cause of nosocomial infections. Dynamic combinatorial chemistry provides a rapid access to an equilibrating mixture of glycocluster candidates through the formation of reversible covalent bonds under thermodynamic control. Identifying each molecule in the complex mixture overcomes challenges due to the dynamic process. Selection of glycoclusters candidates was first realized on a model lectin (Concanavalin A, ConA). Home-made affinity nanocolumns, containing covalently immobilized ConA and have volumes in the microliter range, were used to separate DCLs of glycoclusters with respect to their specific lectin binding properties under buffered aqueous conditions. Miniaturization facilitates the inline coupling with MS detection in such purely aqueous and buffered conditions and reduces target protein consumption. Monolithic lectin-affinity columns prepared by immobilization of ConA were first characterized using a known ligand. The amount of active binding immobilized lectin is 61 ± 5 pmol on 8.5-cm length column. We demonstrated the ability of our approach to evaluate individual dissociation constants of species directly in the complex mixture. The concept was then successfully applied to the screening of DCLs of more complex glycoclusters to identify (by mass spectrometry) and rank the ligands (by relative breakthrough curve delay) according to their affinity for the immobilized lectin in a single experiment.

J Chromatogr A 2023; 1687:463670.

Abstract
In affinity chromatography, non-specific interactions between the ligands and the affinity column may affect the results, leading to misinterpretations during the investigation of protein-ligand interactions (detection of false positives in ligand screening, lack of specificity in purification). Such non-specific interactions may arise both from the underlying support or from the target protein itself. If the second ones are protein-dependent (and cannot be studied in a general framework), the first ones occur in the same way regardless of the immobilized target. We propose a methodology to identify the origin of such non-specific interactions with the underlying material of the affinity column. This methodology relies on the systematic investigation of the retention behavior of a set of 41 low-molecular weight compounds covering a wide chemical space (net charge, log D, functionality). We first demonstrate that the main source of non-specific interactions on the most commonly used GMA-co-EDMA monolith comes from hydrophobic effects. To reduce such non-specific interactions, we developed a new hydrophilic glycidyl methacrylate-based monolith by replacing the EDMA crosslinker by the more hydrophilic NN' Methylenebisacrylamide (MBA). Optimization of the synthesis parameters (monomer content, initiation type, temperature) has focused on the reduction of non-specific interaction with the monolithic support while maximizing the amount of protein that can be grafted onto the monolith at the issue of its synthesis. The retention data of the 41 test solutes on the new poly(GMA-co-MBA) monolith shows a drastic reduction of non-specific interactions except for cationic compounds. The particular behavior of cationic compounds is due to their electrostatic interactions with carboxylic groups resulting from the partial acidic hydrolysis of amide groups of MBA during the epoxide ring opening step. So, the ring opening step in acidic media was replaced by a hot water treatment to avoid side reaction on MBA. The new monolith poly(GMA-co-MBA) not only has improved hydrophilic surface properties but also a higher protein density (16 ± 0.8 pmol cm-1 instead of 8 ± 0.3 pmol cm-1). To highlight the benefits of this new hydrophilic monolith for affinity chromatographic studies, frontal affinity chromatography experiments were conducted on these monoliths grafted with con A.

Abstract
Frontal affinity chromatography is a powerful, underappreciated technique for the qualitative (screening) and quantitative (Kd determination) evaluation of biological interactions. Its development has been previously hampered by its sample consumption, limited throughput, and lack of dedicated instrumentation especially at a miniaturized scale. This work describes two original experimental devices allowing nano-frontal affinity chromatography titrations (nano-FAC) to be automatically implemented in the time-saving staircase mode. The first nano-FAC system utilizes a capillary electrophoresis device (7100 CE Agilent system) in the pressurization mode with in situ UV detection. The second nano-FAC experimental setup implements a nano-LC device (Ultimate 3000 Thermo) modified with a 10-port valve equipped with two superloops (loop volume, 5 μL) operating alternatively and automatically in a single run. The benefits and drawbacks of each approach are exemplified using two model protein-ligand interactions (concanavalin A-mannose and concanavalin A-glucose). The two methods result in concordant dissociation constants (Kd) and number of active site (Bact) values, obtained in a fully automated manner, with low sample consumption and good throughput.

Abstract
Affinity monolith chromatography (AMC) is a liquid chromatographic technique that utilizes a monolithic support with a biological ligand or related binding agent to isolate, enrich, or detect a target analyte in a complex matrix. The target-specific interaction exhibited by the binding agents makes AMC attractive for the separation or detection of a wide range of compounds. This article will review the basic principles of AMC and recent developments in this field. The supports used in AMC will be discussed, including organic, inorganic, hybrid, carbohydrate, and cryogel monoliths. Schemes for attaching binding agents to these monoliths will be examined as well, such as covalent immobilization, biospecific adsorption, entrapment, molecular imprinting, and coordination methods. An overview will then be given of binding agents that have recently been used in AMC, along with their applications. These applications will include bioaffinity chromatography, immunoaffinity chromatography, immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography, and dye-ligand or biomimetic affinity chromatography. The use of AMC in chiral separations and biointeraction studies will also be discussed.

Abstract
Affinity chromatography is a powerful technique to identify and quantify weak ligand-protein interactions (Kd in the range of mM to 0.1µM). In some fields such as Fragment Based Drug Discovery, the detection of very weak affinities (mM) is of utmost importance since weak ligands can be good starting points for the conception of high affinity ligands. However, the identification of such weak ligands can be hampered by the limited bulk density of active target grafted onto the support. At the same time, downscaling the chromatographic column is of utmost interest when scarce and/or expensive proteins are targeted. In this context, we herein present a novel approach of protein immobilization to improve the bulk density of active protein grafted onto organic capillary monolithic columns. The proposed approach is based on the streptavidin-biotin interaction and consists of successive grafting steps of biotinylated target protein onto streptavidin layers through a multi-layering process. Concanavalin A was used as model protein. The study focuses on the optimization of the grafting conditions to maximize the amount of active protein during the multi-layering process and highlights the impact of the biotinylation ratio of the protein. It is demonstrated that a 3-layer grafting process allows to improve the bulk density of active sites by a 2-fold factor compared to a single layer. This improvement in protein density allows to increase the affinity range of this technique to the millimolar range.

Abstract
The total solute retention by a chemically modified stationary phase (CMSP) has been shown several times to be a potential tool for studying the binding abilities of the bound compound. In this article, we present a methodology for the deconvolution of the total retention into structure-specific contributions. Three complementary silica-based CMSPs were prepared: 1) non-modified silica, 2) silica modified by syn-bis-Tröger's base (a molecular tweezer) and 3) silica modified by anti-bis-Tröger's base (a non-tweezer molecule). These were characterized by elemental analysis and Raman spectroscopy, and used to assemble liquid chromatography (LC) columns. The total retention factors were estimated for electron-deficient nitro- and cyano-derivatives of benzene in both normal and reverse elution modes. The total retention factor was considered to be the sum of structure-specific retention factors, each related to the affinity (the binding constant) of a specific structure (the binding site), and its content in the modified silica, as defined for weak-affinity chromatography (WAC). The obtained structure-specific contributions are in line with the binding studies of ligands in solution. They reveal details of the retention mechanism, suggesting a more suitable attachment of ligands, and expose the shortcomings of evaluations based solely on the total retentions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Not only strong biomolecular interactions but also weak interactions play important roles in ensuring appropriate operations of many biological systems. Although a thorough investigation of the latter is essential in understanding life science, few suitable research tools are available because of inherent difficulties. SCOPE OF REVIEW Frontal affinity chromatography (FAC) is a versatile method that overcomes the inherent difficulties to provide accurate information on weak interactions. Since its concept and merit are not widely recognized, a comprehensive interpretation of FAC is provided in this review to encourage its application among researchers. MAJOR CONCLUSION FAC is based on a unique principle of measuring the binding strength by the delayed migration of an analyte through an affinity column. Its utility was elucidated via the lectin-glycan interactions. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE FAC has a great potential as a research tool to solve many difficult problems in general bioscience that are relevant to almost all researchers.

Abstract
Ligand-target interactions play a central role in drug discovery processes because these interactions are crucial in biological systems. Small molecules-proteins interactions can regulate and modulate protein function and activity through conformational changes. Therefore, bioanalytical tools to screen new ligands have focused mainly on probing ligand-target interactions. These interactions have been evaluated by using solid-supported proteins, which provide advantages like increased protein stability and easier protein extraction from the reaction medium, which enables protein reuse. In some specific approaches, precisely in the ligand fishing assay, the bioanalytical method allows the ligands to be directly isolated from complex mixtures, including combinatorial libraries and natural products extracts without prior purification or fractionation steps. Most of these screening assays are based on liquid chromatography separation, and the binding events can be monitored through on-line or off-line methods. In the on-line approaches, solid supports containing the immobilized biological target are used as chromatographic columns most of the time. Several terms have been used to refer to such approaches, such as weak affinity chromatography, high-performance affinity chromatography, on-flow activity assays, and high-performance liquid affinity chromatography. On the other hand, in the off-line approaches, the binding event occurs outside the liquid chromatography system and may encompass affinity and activity-based assays in which the biological target is immobilized on magnetic particles or monolithic silica, among others. After the incubation step, the supernatant or the eluate from the binding assay is analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to various detectors. Regardless of the selected bioanalytical approach, the use of solid supported proteins has significantly contributed to the development of automated and reliable screening methods that enable ligands to be isolated and characterized in complex matrixes without purification, thereby reducing costs and avoiding time-laborious steps. This review provides a critical overview of recently developed assays.
