Abstract
Innovative chiral capillary silica monoliths (CSMs) were developed based on DNA nanoflowers (DNFs). Baseline separation of enantiomers such as atenolol, tyrosine, histidine, and nefopam was achieved by using DNF-modified CSMs, and the obtained resolution value was higher than 1.78. To further explore the effect of DNFs on enantioseparation, different types of chiral columns including DNA strand containing the complementary sequence of the template (DCT)-modified CSMs, DNF2-modified CSMs, and DNF3-modified CSMs were prepared as well. It was observed that DNF-modified CSMs displayed better chiral separation ability compared with DCT-based columns. The intra-day and inter-day repeatability of model analytes' retention time and resolution kept desirable relative standard deviation values of less than 8.28%. DNF2/DNF3-modified CSMs were able to achieve baseline separation of atenolol, propranolol, 2'-deoxyadenosine, and nefopam enantiomers. Molecular docking simulations were performed to investigate enantioselectivity mechanisms of DNA sequences for enantiomers. To indicate the successful construction of DNFs and DNF-modified CSMs, various charaterization approaches including scanning electron microscopy, agarose gel electrophoresis, dynamic light scattering analysis, electroosmotic flow, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were utilized. Moreover, the enantioseparation performance of DNF-modified CSMs was characterized in terms of sample volume, applied voltage, and buffer concentration. This work paves the way to applying DNF-based capillary electrochromatography microsystems for chiral separation.

Abstract
Enantioselective antibodies have emerged as efficient tools in the field of chiral chemical detection and separation. However, it is complicated to obtain a highly stereoselective antibody due to the unclear recognition mechanism. In this study, the hapten of metolachlor was synthesized and enantio-separated. The absolute configuration of the four haptens obtained was identified by the computed and experimental electronic circular dichroism comparison. Five polyclonal antibodies against the Rac-metolachlor and its enantiomers were generated by immunization. The cross-activity of all the 5 antibodies with 44 structural analogues, including metolachlor enantiomers, was tested. It demonstrated that antibodies have higher specificity to recognize central chirality than axial chirality. Especially, αRR-MET-Ab exhibited excellent specificity and stereoselectivity. Accordingly, 3D-QSAR models were constructed and revealed that paired stereoisomers exhibited opposite interactions with the antibodies. It is the first time that the antibodies against four stereoisomers were prepared and analyzed, which will be conducive to the rational design of the stereoselective antibodies.

Abstract
Chiral stationary phases based on chicken alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (cAGP) have been used for enantioseparations of various compounds. However, the chiral binding sites and mechanism have not been clarified yet. Based on chromatographic properties of native and W26-modified cAGP columns and docking simulations of studied compounds into the generated model structure of cAGP, the chiral binding sites were located on cAGP and the chiral binding mechanism was discussed. On cAGP, there existed a binding cavity lined with H25, W26, Y47, R128, T129, D161 and E168, which contribute electrostatic or hydrogen bonding interactions. Benzoin and chlorpheniramine enantiomers interacted with cAGP at almost the same sites a little away from W26, while propranolol enantiomers docked, slightly shifting toward H25 and W26. Furthermore, in addition to hydrophobic interactions, ionic interactions between amino groups of chlorpheniramine enantiomers and a carboxy group of D161 or E168 played an important role in the chiral recognition, while hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding interactions worked for the chiral recognition of benzoin and propranolol enantiomers.

Abstract
We report the detection of antigen capture by immobilized antibodies using a simple, label-free version of monochromatic reflective interferometry. The technique is implemented on silicon with its native oxide and relies on choosing an incident angle between the Brewster angles for the air/oxide and oxide/silicon interfaces. We demonstrate sensitivity to anti-human and anti-rabbit immunoglobulin (anti-IgG) concentrations less than 100 nM using only 10 nL droplets of the analyte. We have introduced a protocol using a model sugar to reduce nonspecific binding and have been able to detect anti-IgG even in the presence of 100-fold larger concentrations of bovine serum albumin. The limit of detection is not yet associated with the optical method but is imposed by nonspecific binding. Evaluated in terms of pg/mm2, our sensors are comparable in sensitivity to surface plasmon resonance (SPR) but are advantaged with respect to SPR in the tolerance of the optical components and alignment, the low material usage, and the ability to exploit multiplex detection without modification. The simplicity and convenience of the method are promising for eventual application to portable diagnostic applications.

Conformational adaptability determining antibody recognition to distomer: structure analysis of enantioselective antibody against chiral drug gatifloxacin. RSC Adv 2021; 11:39534-39544.

Abstract
Enantioselective antibodies have great potential to separate and detect chiral compounds. However, cross-reactivity of enantioselective antibodies to the distomer may limit the application. An in-depth understanding of interactions between antibodies and chiral drugs could be helpful to investigate antibody recognition to the distomer. In this study, a monoclonal antibody against chiral quinolone S-(−)-gatifloxacin (S-GAT) was produced and its Fab fragment was prepared by proteolysis. The S-GAT Fab exhibited 10% cross-reactivity against the R-enantiomer compared to that of the S-enantiomer in an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (icELISA). The crystal structures of the S-GAT Fab apo form and complex with S-GAT were analyzed, and molecular docking of the R-enantiomer was carried out. The ligand conformation was further studied using molecular dynamics simulations. The results showed that the distomer R-enantiomer could enter the chiral center recognition region of the antibody by adjusting the piperazine ring conformation. Meanwhile, the antibody binding cavity had obvious conformational adaptability during ligand binding. It demonstrated that conformational change of both ligand and antibody was the key reason why antibodies recognize the distomer. Restricting conformational adaptability could improve the enantioselective recognition ability of antibodies. This study provided a new explanation for the cross-reactivity of enantioselective antibodies to the distomer, and could help to modulate antibody enantioselectivity for immunoassay of chiral drugs. The conformational adaptability of both antibody and ligand could determine the antibody enantioselectivity in chiral drug immunoassay.![]()

Abstract
Previous investigations of the impact of an imidazole-tethered thymidine in synthetic DNA duplexes, monitored using UV and NMR spectroscopy, revealed a base context dependent increase in thermal stability of these duplexes and a striking correlation with the imidazolium pKa. Unrestrained molecular dynamics (MD) simulations demonstrated the existence of a hydrogen bond between the imidazolium and the Hoogsteen side of a nearby guanosine which, together with electrostatic interactions, form the basis of the so-called pKa-motif responsible for these duplex-stabilizing and pKa-modulating properties. Here, the robustness and utility of this pKa-motif was explored by introducing multiple imidazole-tethered thymidines at different positions on the same dsDNA duplex. For all constructs, sequence based expectations as to pKa-motif formation were supported by MD simulations and experimentally validated using NOESY. Based on the analysis of the pKa values and melting temperatures, guidelines are formulated to assist in the rational design of oligonucleotides modified with imidazolium-tethered thymidines for increased thermal stability that should be generally applicable, as demonstrated through a triply modified construct. In addition, a proof-of-principle study demonstrating enhanced stability of the l-argininamide binding aptamer modified with an imidazole-tethered thymidine in the presence and absence of ligand, demonstrates its potential for the design of more stable aptamers.

Abstract
The last few decades have witnessed the development of many high-performance separation methods that use biologically related binding agents. The combination of HPLC with these binding agents results in a technique known as high performance affinity chromatography (HPAC). This review will discuss the general principles of HPAC and related techniques, with an emphasis on their use for the analysis of biological compounds and pharmaceutical agents. Various types of binding agents for these methods will be considered, including antibodies, immunoglobulin-binding proteins, aptamers, enzymes, lectins, transport proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. Formats that will be discussed for these methods range from the direct detection of an analyte to indirect detection based on chromatographic immunoassays, as well as schemes based on analyte extraction or depletion, post-column detection, and multi-column systems. The use of biological agents in HPLC for chiral separations will also be considered, along with the use of HPAC as a tool to screen or study biological interactions. Various examples will be presented to illustrate these approaches and their applications in fields such as biochemistry, clinical chemistry, and pharmaceutical research.

Abstract
The development of separation methods for the analysis and resolution of chiral drugs and solutes has been an area of ongoing interest in pharmaceutical research. The use of proteins as chiral binding agents in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been an approach that has received particular attention in such work. This report provides an overview of proteins that have been used as binding agents to create chiral stationary phases (CSPs) and in the use of chromatographic methods to study these materials and protein-based chiral separations. The supports and methods that have been employed to prepare protein-based CSPs will also be discussed and compared. Specific types of CSPs that are considered include those that employ serum transport proteins (e.g., human serum albumin, bovine serum albumin, and alpha1-acid glycoprotein), enzymes (e.g., penicillin G acylase, cellobiohydrolases, and α-chymotrypsin) or other types of proteins (e.g., ovomucoid, antibodies, and avidin or streptavidin). The properties and applications for each type of protein and CSP will also be discussed in terms of their use in chromatography and chiral separations.

Abstract
This work describes the design and expression of a stereoselective Fab that possesses binding properties comparable to those displayed by the parent monoclonal antibody. Utilizing mRNA from hybridoma clones that secrete a stereoselective anti-l-amino acid antibody, a corresponding biotechnologically produced Fab was generated. For that, appropriate primers were designed based on extensive literature and databank searches. Using these primers in PCR resulted in successful amplification of the VH, VL, CL and CH1 gene fragments. Overlap PCR was utilized to combine the VH and CH1 sequences and the VL and CL sequences, respectively, to obtain the genes encoding the HC and LC fragments. These sequences were separately cloned into the pEXP5-CT/TOPO expression vector and used for transfection of BL21(DE3) cells. Separate expression of the two chains, followed by assembly in a refolding buffer, yielded an Fab that was demonstrated to bind to l-amino acids but not to recognize the corresponding d-enantiomers.

Abstract
Chirality is one of the basic, unique, and most appealing features of biological molecules; however, many intriguing chiral phenomena in biological world remains insufficiently revealed yet. In this research, we fabricated chiral surfaces by assembling natural chiral amino acids-cysteine of opposite configurations (D- and L-) onto gold surfaces, respectively, and investigated the adhesion of the L929 fibroblast on them. No significant differences were observed in the density of adherent cells under serum-free culture condition; while in serum-containing condition, significantly more cells adhered on the L-Cys assembled surfaces. This phenomenon suggested that serum protein might play an important role in mediating the selective adhesion of cells on chiral surfaces. Hence, we adopted both radiolabeling and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) techniques to monitor protein adsorption onto the above surfaces. The results evidently showed more proteins adsorbed onto surfaces assembled with L-Cys. We propose that the difference in protein adsorption on chiral surfaces as demonstrated in this paper might not only shed light on the ensuing investigation of bio-related chirality phenomena, but also provide a novel strategy for the rational design and fabrication of novel biomaterials and bio-related devices based on chiral effects.

Abstract
Styrene has been reported to be pneumotoxic and hepatotoxic in humans and animals. Styrene oxide, a major reactive metabolite of styrene, has been found to form covalent binding with proteins, such as albumin and hemoglobin. Styrene oxide has two optical isomers and it was reported that the (R)-enantiomer was more toxic than the (S)-enantiomer. The purpose of this study was to develop polyclonal antibodies that can stereoselectively recognize proteins modified by styrene oxide enantiomers at cysteine residues. Immunogens were prepared by alkylation of thiolated keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) with styrene oxide enantiomers. Polyclonal antibodies were raised by immunization of rabbits with the chiral immunogens. Titration tests showed all six rabbits generated high titers of antisera that recognize (R)- or (S)-coating antigens accordingly. No cross-reaction was observed toward the carrier protein (BSA). All three rabbits immunized with (R)-immunogen produced antibodies that show enantioselectivity to the corresponding antigen, while only one among the three rabbits immunized with (S)-immunogen generated antibodies with enantioselectivity of the recognition. The enantioselectivity was also observed in competitive ELISA and immunoblot analysis. Additionally, competitive ELISA tests showed that the immunorecognition required the hydroxyl group of the haptens. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that the immunorecognition depended on the amount of protein adducts blotted and hapten loading in protein adducts. In summary, we successfully developed polyclonal antibodies to stereoselectively detect protein adducts modified by styrene oxide enantiomers.

Abstract
Two kinds of chiral stationary phases (CSPs) can be distinguished: (i) the "conventional" CSPs for which the selectivity is not pre-determined and (ii) the CSPs which are characterized by a predictable elution order, depending on the target enantiomer used for the selection of the chiral selector. At the present time, three general methodologies have been described to create chiral selectors specifically designed against the racemate to resolve: the molecular imprinting technology, the production of antibodies and the combinatorial approach. The latter methodology involves two categories of procedures to develop CSPs: an approach from a small library of low-molecular weight selectors and an approach from a very large library of single-stranded oligonucleotides (DNA and RNA aptamers). In this review, the recent advances in the HPLC applications of the chiral selectors identified through these two combinatorial procedures are addressed.

Abstract
In this study, one random and four site-directed conjugation strategies were applied to immobilize an mAb, which stereoselectively binds to L-amino acids, onto silica particles. The resulting chiral stationary phases (CSPs) were used for enantiomer separation of the model-analyte D,L-phenylalanine and further examined in frontal affinity chromatography. Although random immobilization of the antibody onto discuccinimidyl carbonate-activated silica resulted in a CSP that enabled baseline separation of the enantiomers of D,L-phenylalanine, the amount of available binding sites was considerably lower compared to the CSPs prepared by site-directed strategies. Immobilization of antibody via its carbohydrate chains, either directly via hydrazone bonds between the support and the protein or indirectly via binding carbohydrate-biotinylated antibody to streptavidin-derivatized silica, resulted in medium column efficiencies. Higher amounts of available active sites were obtained by immobilizing the antibody indirectly through the "crystallizable fragment (Fc)" receptor protein A/G. The best results with regard to amount of available binding sites and column efficiency were obtained by first biotinylating the antibody specifically at its C-termini using carboxypeptidase Y and immobilizing the biotinylated antibody on streptavidin-derivatized silica.

Abstract
In this study, a monoclonal anti-d-hydroxy acid antibody was immobilized onto a synthetic high-flow-through chromatographic support material to produce a chiral stationary phase suitable for enantiomer separation of free alpha-hydroxy acids. Chiral separation of several aliphatic and aromatic members of this class of compounds was achieved in HPLC under mild isocratic buffer conditions using phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, as mobile phase. Due to the high degree of stereoselectivity exhibited by the immobilized antibody, in all cases the l-enantiomer eluted with the void volume, while the d-enantiomer was retained and eluted second. The effect of the mobile phase parameters flow rate, temperature, pH, and ionic strength on the enantiomer separation of the model analyte mandelic acid was investigated. While it was found that variations in the flow rate did not change the retention factor k2, dramatic effects on the interaction between the immobilized antibody and d-mandelic acid were observed when any of the other mobile phase parameters were modulated.

Abstract
This work describes a highly enantioselective and sensitive immunosensor for the detection of chiral amino acids based on capacitive measurement. The sensor was prepared by first binding mercaptoacetic acid to the surface of a gold electrode, followed by modification with tyramine utilizing carbodiimide activation. The hapten 4-amino-D-phenylalanine was then covalently immobilized onto the electrode by diazotization. Stereoselective binding of an anti-D-amino acid antibody to the hapten-modified sensor surface resulted in capacitance changes that were detected with high sensitivity by a potentiostatic step method. Using capacitance measurement, detection limits of 5 pg of antibody/mL were attained. The exquisite stereoselectivity of the antibody was also utilized in a competitive setup to quantitatively determine the concentration of the analyte d-phenylalanine in nonracemic samples containing both enantiomers of this amino acid. Trace impurities of d-phenylalanine as low as 0.001% could be detected.

Abstract
A method using an immunoaffinity column (IAC) and liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/MS) for on-line detecting the presence of MA in the effluent was developed for the quantitative and enantiomeric determination of (S)-(+)-methamphetamine (d-MA) in urine. The IAC was made in our laboratory and utilized in the LC/MS to simultaneously extract and separate enantiomers of MA from urine samples. An aqueous ammonium acetate buffer was used as the mobile phase. Urine samples were spiked with racemic deuterated methamphetamine (MA-d14) as internal standard (IS), filtered through a membrane, and injected into the LC/MS without any further pre-treatment. Protonated molecular ion of MA and MA-d(14) (m/z 150 and 164) were isolated and further fragmented, the respective product ions, m/z 119 and 130, were collected for quantitative determination. This is an improvement of our previous method (A.C. Lua, Tsong-Yung Chou, J. Chromatogr. A 967 (2002) 191). In the previous method, MA was separated with HPLC, the efflux was fractionated and each fraction was either determined with an immunoassay or GC/MS. Monitoring of MA in the efflux is tedious and time consuming. Urine samples spiked with different concentrations of d-MA were measured by this method. A linear relationship exists in the 150-1050 ng/mL range, and the detection limit (defined as signal-to-noise ratio 3) of d-MA was determined to be 18 ng/mL. The linearity of the method for d-MA can be described by the equation (Y=1.415 x 10(-3)X+0.034, correlation coefficient: r2=0.999). Within run, accuracy and precision (n=6, relative error: -7.2 to +4.0% and relative standard deviation: 3.8-9.3%) of the method are fairly good.

Abstract
We identified 1113 articles (103 reviews, 1010 primary research articles) published in 2005 that describe experiments performed using commercially available optical biosensors. While this number of publications is impressive, we find that the quality of the biosensor work in these articles is often pretty poor. It is a little disappointing that there appears to be only a small set of researchers who know how to properly perform, analyze, and present biosensor data. To help focus the field, we spotlight work published by 10 research groups that exemplify the quality of data one should expect to see from a biosensor experiment. Also, in an effort to raise awareness of the common problems in the biosensor field, we provide side-by-side examples of good and bad data sets from the 2005 literature.
