Abstract
The review provides an overview of recent developments and applications of capillary electromigration (CE) methods for the determination of important physicochemical parameters of various (bio)molecules and (bio)particles. These parameters include actual and limiting (absolute) ionic mobilities, effective electrophoretic mobilities, effective charges, isoelectric points, electrokinetic potentials, hydrodynamic radii, diffusion coefficients, relative molecular masses, acidity (ionization) constants, binding constants and stoichiometry of (bio)molecular complexes, changes of Gibbs free energy, enthalpy and entropy and rate constants of chemical reactions and interactions, retention factors and partition and distribution coefficients. For the determination of these parameters, the following CE methods are employed: zone electrophoresis in a free solution or in sieving media, isotachophoresis, isoelectric focusing, affinity electrophoresis, electrokinetic chromatography, and electrochromatography. In the individual sections, the procedures for the determination of the above parameters by the particular CE methods are described.

Abstract
The incorporation of phosphorothioate linkages has recently been extensively employed in therapeutic oligonucleotides. For their separation and quality control, new high-efficient and high-sensitive analytical methods are needed. In this work, a new affinity capillary electrophoresis method has been developed and applied for the separation of a potential anticancer drug, 2',3'-cyclic diadenosine diphosphorothioate (Rp, Rp) (ADU-S100), and three recently newly synthesized diastereomers of its difluorinated derivative, 3',3'-cyclic di(2'-fluoro, 2'-deoxyadenosine phosphorothioate). The separation was performed in the various background electrolytes (BGEs) within a pH range 5-9 using several native and derivatized cyclodextrins (CDs) as chiral additives of the BGE. Relatively good separations were obtained with β-, γ-, and 2-hydroxypropyl-γ-CDs in some of the BGEs tested. However, the best separation was achieved using the 2-hydroxypropyl-β-CD chiral selector at 43.5 mM average concentration in the BGE composed of 40 mM Tris, 40 mM tricine, pH 8.1. Under these conditions, all the previous four cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) were baseline separated within 4 min. Additionally, the average apparent binding constants and the average actual ionic mobilities of the complexes of all four CDNs with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-CD in the above BGE were determined. The formed complexes were found to be relatively weak, with the average apparent binding constants in the range of 12.2-94.1 L mol-1 and with the actual ionic mobilities spanning the interval (-7.8 to -12.7) × 10-9 m2 V-1 s-1. The developed method can be applied for the separation, analysis, and characterization of the above and similar CDNs.

Abstract
This research focuses on the development and validation of a capillary electrophoresis (CE) method for the chiral separation of three H1-antihistamine drugs chlorcyclizine, norchlorcyclizine, and neobenodine using sulfated β-cyclodextrin (S-β-CD) as the chiral selector. The study explores various factors influencing the separation efficiency, including CD concentration, organic modifier content, voltage application, and buffer pH. Optimal conditions were identified as a 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) with 34 mg mL-1 S-β-CD and 40% (v/v) methanol. The method demonstrated excellent linearity in calibration curves, with coefficients of determination exceeding 0.99 for each enantiomer. Precision studies revealed good intra- and inter-day precision for migration times and peak areas. The limits of detection and quantification for the analytes were within the ranges of 5.9-11.4 and 18-34.6 µmol L-1, respectively. Overall, the developed CE method offers a robust and precise approach for the chiral separation of H1-antihistamine drugs, holding promise for pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) interacts, in vitro, with laminin 332 (LN332), a key component of the extracellular matrix. In this study, we performed bio-layer interferometry (BLI) and affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) to investigate the binding properties of this interaction. Virus-like particles (VLPs), composed of the HPV16 L1 major capsid protein, were used as HPV model and LN332 as the VLPs binding partner. Using BLI, we quantitatively determined the kinetics of the interaction, via the measurement of VLP binding and release from LN332 immobilized onto the surface of aminopropylsilane biosensors. We found an averaged kon of 1.74 x 104 M-1s-1 and an averaged koff of 1.50 x 10-4 s-1. Furthermore, an ACE method was developed to study the interaction under physiological conditions, where the interactants are moving freely in solution, without any fluorescence labeling. Specifically, a constant amount of HPV16-VLPs was preincubated with increasing LN332 concentrations and then the samples were injected in the capillary electrophoresis instrument. A shift in the migration time of the HPV16-VLP/LN332 complexes, carrying an increasing number of LN332 molecules bound per VLP, was observed. The mobility of the complexes was found to decrease with increasing LN332 concentrations in the sample. It was used to quantify stability constant. From BLI and ACE approaches, we reported an apparent equilibrium dissociation constant in the nanomolar range (8.89 nM and 17.7 nM, respectively) for the complex between HPV16-VLPs and LN332.

Abstract
Bioaffinity drug screening strategies have gained popularity in preclinical and clinical drug discovery for natural products, small molecules and antibodies owing to their superior selectivity, the large number of compounds to be screened and their ability to minimize the time and expenses of the drug discovery process. This paper provides a systematic summary of the principles of commonly used bioaffinity-based screening methods, elaborates on the success of bioaffinity in clinical drug development and summarizes the active compounds, preclinical drugs and marketed drugs obtained through affinity screening methods. Owing to the high demand for new drugs, bioaffinity-guided screening techniques will play a greater part in clinical drug development.

Abstract
The characteristic alkaloid component of the leaves of the catnip shrub (Catha edulis) is cathinone, and its synthetic analogs form a major group of recreational drugs. Cathinone derivatives are chiral compounds. In the literature, several chiral methods using cyclodextrins (CDs) have been achieved so far for diverse sets of analogs; however, a comprehensive investigation of the stability of their CD complexes has not been performed yet. To characterize the enantioselective complex formation, a systematic experimental design was developed in which a total number of 40 neutral, positively, and negatively charged CD derivatives were screened by affinity capillary electrophoresis and compared according to their cavity size, substituent type, and location. The functional groups responsible for the favorable interactions were identified in the case of para-substituted cathinone analog mephedrone, flephedrone, and 4-methylethcathinone (4-MEC) and in the case of 3,4-methylendioxy derivative butylone and methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV). The succinylated-β-CD and subetadex exhibited the highest complex stabilities among the studied drugs. The complex stoichiometry was determined using the Job's plot method, and the complex structures were further studied using ROESY NMR measurements. The results of our enantioselective complex formation study can facilitate chiral method development and may lead to evaluate potential CD-based antidotes for cathinone analogs.

Abstract
Drug binding to plasma proteins influences processes such as liberation, adsorption, disposition, metabolism, and elimination of drugs, which are thus one of the key steps of a new drug development. As a result, the characterization of drug-protein interactions is an essential part of these time- and money-consuming processes. It is important to determine not only the binding strength and the stoichiometry of interaction, but also the binding site of a drug on a protein molecule, because two drugs with the same binding site can mutually affect free drug concentration. Capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis with mobility shift affinity capillary electrophoresis is one of the most used affinity capillary electrophoresis methods for the characterization of these interactions. In this study, a well-known sensitivity problem of most capillary electrophoresis-frontal analyses using ultraviolet detection is solved by its combination with contactless conductivity detection, which provided sixfold lower limits of quantitation and detection. Binding parameters of the human serum albumin-salicylic acid model affinity pair were evaluated by this newly developed approach and by the classical approach with ultraviolet detection primarily used for their mutual comparison. The results of both approaches agreed well and are also in agreement with literature data obtained using different techniques.

Abstract
This review is in support of the development of selective, precise, fast, and validated capillary electrophoresis (CE) methods. It follows up a similar article from 1998, Wätzig H, Degenhardt M, Kunkel A. "Strategies for capillary electrophoresis: method development and validation for pharmaceutical and biological applications," pointing out which fundamentals are still valid and at the same time showing the enormous achievements in the last 25 years. The structures of both reviews are widely similar, in order to facilitate their simultaneous use. Focusing on pharmaceutical and biological applications, the successful use of CE is now demonstrated by more than 600 carefully selected references. Many of those are recent reviews; therefore, a significant overview about the field is provided. There are extra sections about sample pretreatment related to CE and microchip CE, and a completely revised section about method development for protein analytes and biomolecules in general. The general strategies for method development are summed up with regard to selectivity, efficiency, precision, analysis time, limit of detection, sample pretreatment requirements, and validation.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis is one of the most frequently used approaches for the study of plasma protein-drug interactions as a substantial part of new drug development. However, the capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis typically combined with ultraviolet-visible detection suffers from insufficient concentration sensitivity, particularly for substances with limited solubility and low molar absorption coefficient. The sensitivity problem has been solved in this work by its combination with an on-line sample preconcentration. According to the knowledge of the authors this combination has never been used to characterize plasma protein-drug binding. It resulted in a fully automated and versatile methodology for the characterization of binding interactions. Further, the validated method minimalizes the experimental errors due to a reduction in the manipulation of samples. Moreover, employing an on-line preconcentration strategy with capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis using human serum albumin-salicylic acid as a model system improves the drug concentration sensitivity 17-fold compared to the conventional method. The value of binding constant (1.51 ± 0.63) · 104 L/mol obtained by this new capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis modification is in agreement with the value (1.13 ± 0.28) ·104 L/mol estimated by a conventional variant of capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis without the preconcentration step, as well as with literature data obtained using different techniques.

Abstract
With an estimate of hundred thousands of protein molecules per cell and the number of metabolites several orders of magnitude higher, protein-metabolite interactions are omnipresent. In vitro analyses are one of the main pillars on the way to establish a solid understanding of how these interactions contribute to maintaining cellular homeostasis. A repertoire of biophysical techniques is available by which protein-metabolite interactions can be quantitatively characterized in terms of affinity, specificity, and kinetics in a broad variety of solution environments. Several of those provide information on local or global conformational changes of the protein partner in response to ligand binding. This review chapter gives an overview of the state-of-the-art biophysical toolbox for the study of protein-metabolite interactions. It briefly introduces basic principles, highlights recent examples from the literature, and pinpoints promising future directions.

Abstract
Biomolecules such as serum proteins can interact with drugs in the body and influence their pharmaceutical effects. Specific and precise methods that analyze these interactions are critical for drug development or monitoring and for diagnostic purposes. Affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) is one technique that can be used to examine the binding between drugs and serum proteins, or other agents found in serum or blood. This article will review the basic principles of ACE, along with related affinity-based capillary electrophoresis (CE) methods, and examine recent developments that have occurred in this field as related to the characterization of drug-protein interactions. An overview will be given of the various formats that can be used in ACE and CE for such work, including the relative advantages or weaknesses of each approach. Various applications of ACE and affinity-based CE methods for the analysis of drug interactions with serum proteins and other binding agents will also be presented. Applications of ACE and related techniques that will be discussed include drug interaction studies with serum agents, chiral drug separations employing serum proteins, and the use of CE in hybrid methods to characterize drug binding with serum proteins.

Sursyakova VV, Levdansky VA, Rubaylo AI. Evaluation of the effect of background electrolyte composition and independence of parameters in determining binding constants of betulin derivatives to β- and dimethyl-β-cyclodextrins by affinity capillary electrophoresis. J Sep Sci 2022; 45:3745-3753. [PMID: 35917389 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202200453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Revised: 07/27/2022] [Accepted: 07/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
The values of the apparent binding constants for β-cyclodextrin complexes of betulin derivatives determined by mobility shift affinity capillary electrophoresis were found to be independent of the composition of the two background electrolytes used (tetraborate buffer, pH 9.18, and phosphate buffer, pH 8.00, both of them with 20 mM ionic strength). It has been found that, if there is not a constant plateau on the binding curve, then four independent parameters can be determined: binding constants (also referred to as stability, association or formation constants) and ionic mobilities of 1:1 and 1:2 complexes. However, at least 10-12 data points in the binding curve should be used to reliably estimate the parameters. For the first time, the apparent binding constants for complexes of ester betulin derivatives with dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin have been determined by mobility shift affinity capillary electrophoresis. The logarithms of the constants for 1:1 and 1:2 complexes at 25°C for betulin 3,28-diphthalate with a 95 % confidence interval are 4.98 (4.95-5.01) and 7.52 (7.26-7.68); for betulin 3,28-disulfate, the values are 4.97 (4.89-5.03) and 8.24 (6.82 - 8.52). It has been found that betulin 3,28-disuccinate forms only a 1:1 complex and the binding constant logarithm is 5.25 ± 0.02. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
The human history has witnessed the rapid development of technologies such as high-throughput sequencing and mass spectrometry that led to the concept of “omics” and methodological advancement in systematically interrogating a cellular system. Yet, the ever-growing types of molecules and regulatory mechanisms being discovered have been persistently transforming our understandings on the cellular machinery. This renders cell omics seemingly, like the universe, expand with no limit and our goal toward the complete harness of the cellular system merely impossible. Therefore, it is imperative to review what has been done and is being done to predict what can be done toward the translation of omics information to disease control with minimal cell perturbation. With a focus on the “four big omics,” i.e., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, we delineate hierarchies of these omics together with their epiomics and interactomics, and review technologies developed for interrogation. We predict, among others, redoxomics as an emerging omics layer that views cell decision toward the physiological or pathological state as a fine-tuned redox balance.

Abstract
PURPOSES In reducing capillary electrophoresis sodium dodecyl sulfate (CE-SDS) analysis of a monoclonal antibody (mAb-1), the peak area ratio of heavy chain (HC) to light chain (LC) was out of balance, while multiple artifact peaks were observed following the migration of HC. The main purposes of this study were to describe the techniques utilized to eliminate this artifact and clarify the root cause for this interesting phenomenon. METHODS We optimized the CE-SDS analysis of mAb-1 by a vairety of techniques including changing the concentration of protein or replacing SDS with a more hydrophobic surfactant (i.e., sodium hexadecyl sulfate (SHS) or sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS) instead of SDS) in sample and/or the sieving gel buffer. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) were used to study the protein-surfactant complex. RESULTS The artifact could be partially mitigated by reducing the protein concentration and replacing SDS with SHS or STS in the sample and/or the sieving gel buffer solutions. Due to replacing a more hydrophobic surfactant, the HC-surfactant complex formed was more resistant to dissociation, preventing additional hydrophobic HC-HC interaction and aggregation, thus eliminating the artifact problem. CONCLUSIONS DLS and RP-HPLC are powerful supplementary techniques in characterizing the protein-surfactant complex, and hydrophobic surfactants such as SHS and STS could afford more normal electropherograms during the analysis of mAbs.

Abstract
In this article, capillary electrophoresis was used to measure the effective electrophoretic mobility of ester betulin derivatives as a pH function and to study their complexation with γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD). The electrophoretic mobility of betulin 3,28-diphthalate (DPhB) and 3,28-disuccinate (DScB) changed unusually with decreasing pH: instead of decreasing, it first increased and then decreased. This fact as well as the turbidity of sample solutions at pH from 2.5 to 6, broadening of electrophoretic peaks and a decrease in the surface tension of the solutions indicates that these betulin derivatives, being amphiphilic compounds and weak acids, exist as micelles in aqueous solutions at pH 6 and below. The inclusion complexation of betulin derivatives with γ-CD at pH 9.18 and 4.5 was studied by mobility shift affinity capillary electrophoresis. At pH 9.18, the apparent binding (stability) constant logarithms for 1:1 γ-CD complexes of DPhB, betulin 3,28-disulfate (DSB) and DScB with 95% confidence interval limits were equal to 7.44 ± 0.02, 7.09 (7.01-7.19), and 6.97 (6.87-7.08) at 25°C, respectively. At pH 4.5, the binding constant for the DSB complex was slightly lower, while the micelle formation did not allow determining the exact values of the constants for the DPhB and DScB complexes.

Abstract
Fragment-based lead discovery is a usual strategy in drug discovery to identify innovative lead compounds. The success of this approach strongly relies on the capacity to detect weak binders and characterize their binding site. NMR and X-ray crystallography are the conventional technologies used to tackle this challenge. However, their large protein consumption and the cost of equipment reduce their accessibility. Here, an affinity capillary electrophoresis methodology was developed that enables the detection of mM binders, the determination of dissociation constants, and the characterization of the fragment binding site. On the basis of multiple equilibrium theory, dissociation constants in the μM-mM range were determined, and a new methodology is proposed to establish graphically if two fragments bind the same protein pocket. The applicability of this methodology was demonstrated experimentally on coagulation factor XIIa by evaluating pairs of fragments with expected behavior. This study reinforces the significance of using affinity capillary electrophoresis to gather valuable information for medicinal chemistry projects.

Abstract
The interaction between proteins and drugs or other bioactive compounds has been widely explored over the past years. Several methods for analysis of this phenomenon have been developed and improved. Nowadays, increasing attention is paid to innovative methods, such as high performance affinity liquid chromatography (HPALC) and affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE), taking into account various advantages. Moreover, the development of separation methods for the analysis and resolution of chiral drugs has been an area of ongoing interest in analytical and medicinal chemistry research. In addition to bioaffinity binding studies, both HPALC and ACE al-low one to perform other type of analyses, namely, displacement studies and enantioseparation of racemic or enantiomeric mixtures. Actually, proteins used as chiral selectors in chromatographic and electrophoretic methods have unique enantioselective properties demonstrating suitability for the enantioseparation of a large variety of chiral drugs or other bioactive compounds. This review is mainly focused in chromatographic and electrophoretic methods using human serum albumin (HSA), the most abundant plasma protein, as chiral selector for binding affinity analysis and enantioresolution of drugs. For both analytical purposes, updated examples are presented to highlight recent applications and current trends.

Abstract
Over the years, multiple biomarkers have been used to aid in disease screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and response to therapy. As of late, protein biomarkers are gaining strength in their role for early disease diagnosis and prognosis in part due to the advancements in identification and characterization of a distinct functional pool of proteins known as proteoforms. Proteoforms are defined as all of the different molecular forms of a protein derived from a single gene caused by genetic variations, alternative spliced RNA transcripts and post-translational modifications. Monitoring the structural changes of each proteoform of a particular protein is essential to elucidate the complex molecular mechanisms that guide the course of disease. Clinical proteomics therefore holds the potential to offer further insight into disease pathology, progression, and prevention. Nevertheless, more technologically advanced diagnostic methods are needed to improve the reliability and clinical applicability of proteomics in preventive medicine. In this manuscript, we review the use of immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis (IACE) as an emerging powerful diagnostic tool to isolate, separate, detect and characterize proteoform biomarkers obtained from liquid biopsy. IACE is an affinity capture-separation technology capable of isolating, concentrating and analyzing a wide range of biomarkers present in biological fluids. Isolation and concentration of target analytes is accomplished through binding to one or more biorecognition affinity ligands immobilized to a solid support, while separation and analysis are achieved by high-resolution capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled to one or more detectors. IACE has the potential to generate rapid results with significant accuracy, leading to reliability and reproducibility in diagnosing and monitoring disease. Additionally, IACE has the capability of monitoring the efficacy of therapeutic agents by quantifying companion and complementary protein biomarkers. With advancements in telemedicine and artificial intelligence, the implementation of proteoform biomarker detection and analysis may significantly improve our capacity to identify medical conditions early and intervene in ways that improve health outcomes for individuals and populations.

Abstract
Bioconversion of renewable lignocellulosics to produce liquid fuels and chemicals is one of the most effective ways to solve the problem of fossil resource shortage, energy security, and environmental challenges. Among the many biorefinery pathways, hydrolysis of lignocellulosics to fermentable monosaccharides by cellulase is arguably the most critical step of lignocellulose bioconversion. In the process of enzymatic hydrolysis, the direct physical contact between enzymes and cellulose is an essential prerequisite for the hydrolysis to occur. However, lignin is considered one of the most recalcitrant factors hindering the accessibility of cellulose by binding to cellulase unproductively, which reduces the saccharification rate and yield of sugars. This results in high costs for the saccharification of carbohydrates. The various interactions between enzymes and lignin have been explored from different perspectives in literature, and a basic lignin inhibition mechanism has been proposed. However, the exact interaction between lignin and enzyme as well as the recently reported promotion of some types of lignin on enzymatic hydrolysis is still unclear at the molecular level. Multiple analytical techniques have been developed, and fully unlocking the secret of lignin-enzyme interactions would require a continuous improvement of the currently available analytical techniques. This review summarizes the current commonly used advanced research analytical techniques for investigating the interaction between lignin and enzyme, including quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy (FLS), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Interdisciplinary integration of these analytical methods is pursued to provide new insight into the interactions between lignin and enzymes. This review will serve as a resource for future research seeking to develop new methodologies for a better understanding of the basic mechanism of lignin-enzyme binding during the critical hydrolysis process.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a widespread opportunistic pathogen that is capable of colonizing various human tissues and is resistant to many antibiotics. LecA is a galactose binding tetrameric lectin involved in adhesion, infection and biofilm formation. This study reports on the binding characteristics of mono- and divalent (chelating) ligands to LecA using different techniques. These techniques include Affinity Capillary Electrophoresis (ACE), Bio Layer Interferometry (BLI), Native Mass Spectrometry and a Thermal Shift Assay. Aspects of focus include: affinity, selectivity, binding kinetics and residence time. The affinity of a divalent ligand was determined to be in the low nanomolar range for all of the used techniques and with a ligand residence time of approximately 7 hours, while no strong binding was seen to related lectin tetramers. Each of the used techniques provides a unique and complementary insight into the chelation based binding mode of the divalent ligand to the LecA tetramer.

Abstract
The present review summarizes scientific reports from between 2010 and 2019 on the use of capillary electrophoresis to quantify active constituents (i.e., phenolic compounds, coumarins, protoberberines, curcuminoids, iridoid glycosides, alkaloids, triterpene acids) in medicinal plants and herbal formulations. The present literature review is founded on PRISMA guidelines and selection criteria were formulated on the basis of PICOS (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Study type). The scrutiny reveals capillary electrophoresis with ultraviolet detection as the most frequently used capillary electromigration technique for the selective separation and quantification of bioactive compounds. For the purpose of improvement of resolution and sensitivity, other detection methods are used (including mass spectrometry), modifiers to the background electrolyte are introduced and different extraction as well as pre-concentration techniques are employed. In conclusion, capillary electrophoresis is a powerful tool and for given applications it is comparable to high performance liquid chromatography. Short time of execution, high efficiency, versatility in separation modes and low consumption of solvents and sample make capillary electrophoresis an attractive and eco-friendly alternative to more expensive methods for the quality control of drugs or raw plant material without any relevant decrease in sensitivity.

Abstract
In this study, a partial-filling affinity capillary electrophoresis (pf-ACE) method was developed for the cross-validation of fragment hits revealed by chromogenic factor XIIa (FXIIa) assay. Chromogenic assay produces false positives, mainly due to spectrophotometric interferences and sample purity issues. pf-ACE was selected as counter-screening technology because of its separative character and the fact that the target does not have to be attached or tagged. The effects of protein plug length, applied voltage and composition of the running buffer were examined and optimized. Detection limit in terms of dissociation constant was estimated at 400 μM. The affinity evaluation was performed close to physiological conditions (pH 7.4, ionic strength 0.13 mol L-1) in a poly (ethylene oxide)-coated capillary of 75 μm internal diameter x 33 cm length with an applied voltage of 3 kV. This method uncovered chromogenic assay's false positives due to zinc contamination. Moreover, pf-ACE supported the evaluation of compounds absorbing at 405 nm.

Abstract
Biological research has undergone tremendous changes over the past three decades. Research used to almost exclusively focus on a single aspect of a single molecule per experiment. Modern technologies have enabled thousands of molecules to be simultaneously analyzed and the way that these molecules influence each other to be discerned. The change is so dramatic that it has given rise to a whole new descriptive suffix (i.e., omics) to describe these fields of study. While genomics was arguably the initial driver of this new trend, it quickly spread to other biological entities resulting in the creation of transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc. The development of these "big four omics" created a wave of other omic fields, such as epigenomics, glycomics, lipidomics, microbiomics, and even foodomics; all with the purpose of comprehensively studying all the molecular entities or processes within their respective domain. The large number of omic fields that are invented even led to the term "panomics" as a way to classify them all under one category. Ultimately, all of these omic fields are setting the foundation for developing systems biology; in which the focus will be on determining the complex interactions that occur within biological systems.

Determining binding constants for 1:1 and 1:2 inclusion complexes of ester betulin derivatives with (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin by affinity capillary electrophoresis.

Abstract
The complexation of ester betulin derivatives with (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) was studied by mobility shift affinity CE. Electrophoretic mobility for triangular peaks was calculated using the parameter a1 of the Haarhoff-Van der Linde function instead of the peak top time. Dependences of the viscosity corrected electrophoretic mobility on HP-β-CD concentration were not described on the basis of only complexes with 1:1 stoichiometry due to the fact that these binding curves did not reach a plateau. However, the dependences were well described taking into account both 1:1 and 1:2 complexes. The presence of higher order equilibria was also revealed by x-reciprocal plots. The values of apparent binding constant logarithm, obtained for the first time, for 1:1 and 1:2 HP-β-CD complexes of betulin 3,28-diphthalate and betulin 3,28-disuccinate with 95% confidence interval limits in brackets are the same within error and are equal to 4.85 (4.73-4.95), 8.56 (7.75-8.82), 4.92 (4.86-4.97), and 8.54 (8.23-8.72) at 25°C, respectively. These values for 1:1 and 1:2 HP-β-CD complexes of betulin 3,28-disulfate at 25°C are 4.61 (4.57-4.64) and 7.11 (6.57-7.34), respectively. The binding constants for betulin 3,28-disulfate agree with the previously obtained results from the separation in the thermostatted capillary segment.

Toward an automated workflow for the study of plasma protein-drug interactions based on capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis combined with in-capillary mixing of interacting partners.

[PMID: 33264700 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2020.461734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2020] [Revised: 11/06/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis (CE-FA) together with mobility shift affinity CE is the most frequently used mode of affinity CE for a study of plasma protein-drug interactions, which is a substantial part of the early stage of drug discovery. Whereas in the classic CE-FA setup the sample is prepared by off-line mixing of the interaction partners in the sample vial outside the CE instrument and after a short incubation period loaded into the capillary and analysed, in this work a new methodological approach has been developed that combines CE-FA with the mixing of interacting partners directly inside the capillary. This combination gives rise to a fully automated and versatile methodology for the characterization of these binding interactions besides a substantial reduction in the amounts of sample compounds used. The minimization of possible experimental errors due to the full involving of sophisticated CE instrument in the injection procedure, mixing and separation instead of manual manipulation is another fundamental benefit. The in-capillary mixing is based on the transverse diffusion of laminar flow profile methodology introduced by Krylov et al. using its multi-zone injection modification presented by Řemínek at al.. Actually, after the method optimization, the alternate introduction of six plugs of drug and six plugs of bovine serum protein in BGE, each injected for 3 s at a pressure of -10 mbar (-1 kPa) into the capillary filled by BGE, was found to be the best injection procedure. The method repeatability calculated as RSDs of plateau highs of bovine serum albumin and propranolol as model sample compounds were better than 3.44 %. Its applicability was finally demonstrated on the determination of apparent binding parameters of bovine serum albumin for basic drugs propranolol and lidocaine and acid drug phenylbutazone. The values obtained by a new on-line CE-FA methodology are in agreement with values estimated by classic off-line CE-FA, as well as with literature data obtained using different techniques.

Abstract
First studies on thrombin-inhibiting DNA aptamers were reported in 1992, and since then a large number of anticoagulant aptamers has been discovered. TBA - also named HD1, a 15-mer G-quadruplex (G4)-forming oligonucleotide - is the best characterized thrombin binding aptamer, able to specifically recognize the protein exosite I, thus inhibiting the conversion of soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin strands. Unmodified nucleic acid-based aptamers, in general, and TBA in particular, exhibit limited pharmacokinetic properties and are rapidly degraded in vivo by nucleases. In order to improve the biological performance of aptamers, a widely investigated strategy is the introduction of chemical modifications in their backbone at the level of the nucleobases, sugar moieties or phosphodiester linkages. Besides TBA, also other thrombin binding aptamers, able to adopt a well-defined G4 structure, e.g. mixed duplex/quadruplex sequences, as well as homo- and hetero-bivalent constructs, have been identified and optimized. Considering the growing need of new efficient anticoagulant agents associated with the strong therapeutic potential of these thrombin inhibitors, the research on thrombin binding aptamers is still a very hot and intriguing field. Herein, we comprehensively described the state-of-the-art knowledge on the DNA-based aptamers targeting thrombin, especially focusing on the optimized analogues obtained by chemically modifying the oligonucleotide backbone, and their biological performances in therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The electrophoretic mobility change of desferrioxamine B (DFO) was monitored by UV absorption spectrophotometry upon increasing the thorium(IV) concentration in the background electrolyte at two acidities ([HClO4 ]Tot = 0.0316 and 0.0100 M). These data enabled to assess the speciation model and to determine the equilibrium constant of [Th(DFO)H2 ]3+ at fixed ionic strength (I = 0.1 M (H,Na)ClO4 ). Affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) turned out to be most helpful in identifying the complexed species by ascertaining its charge and protonation state. The assignment of the correct stoichiometry relied on the reliable estimation of the electrophoretic mobility by assuming similar hydrodynamic radii for (DFO)H4 + and the chelate. The value of the apparent equilibrium constant (log β112 = 38.7 ± 0.4) obtained by ACE compares favorably well with those reported in the literature for thorium and a range of other metal ions, according to a linear free-energy relationship. This method is useful for studying metal-ligand binding equilibria and provides valuable information for further modelling the behavior of tetravalent actinides under environmental conditions. Structural information about the prevalent solution species in acidic conditions was gained by DFT calculations, confirming the bishydroxamato coordination mode of Th4+ by the diprotonated ligand.

Abstract
Exploration and characterisation of the human proteome is a key objective enabling a heightened understanding of biological function, malfunction and pharmaceutical design. Since proteins typically exhibit their behaviour by binding to other proteins, the challenge of probing protein-protein interactions has been the focus of new and improved experimental approaches. Here, we review recently developed microfluidic techniques for the study and quantification of protein-protein interactions. We focus on methodologies that utilise the inherent strength of microfluidics for the control of mass transport on the micron scale, to facilitate surface and membrane-free interrogation and quantification of interacting proteins. Thus, the microfluidic tools described here provide the capability to yield insights on protein-protein interactions under physiological conditions. We first discuss the defining principles of microfluidics, and methods for the analysis of protein-protein interactions that utilise the diffusion-controlled mixing characteristic of fluids at the microscale. We then describe techniques that employ electrophoretic forces to manipulate and fractionate interacting protein systems for their biophysical characterisation, before discussing strategies that use microdroplet compartmentalisation for the analysis of protein interactions. We conclude by highlighting future directions for the field, such as the integration of microfluidic experiments into high-throughput workflows for the investigation of protein interaction networks.

Transient Incomplete Separation Facilitates Finding Accurate Equilibrium Dissociation Constant of Protein-Small Molecule Complex. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2019; 58:6635-6639.

Abstract
Current practical methods for finding the equilibrium dissociation constant, Kd , of protein-small molecule complexes have inherent sources of inaccuracy. Introduced here is "accurate constant via transient incomplete separation" (ACTIS), which appears to be free of inherent sources of inaccuracy. Conceptually, a short plug of the pre-equilibrated protein-small molecule mixture is pressure-propagated in a capillary, causing fast transient incomplete separation of the complex from the unbound small molecule. A superposition of signals from these two components is measured near the capillary exit and used to calculate a fraction of unbound small molecule, which, in turn, is used to calculate Kd . Herein the validity of ACTIS is proven theoretically, its accuracy is verified by computer simulation, and its practical use is demonstrated. ACTIS has the potential to become a reference-standard method for determining Kd values of protein-small molecule complexes.

Abstract
Nearly all processes in living organisms are controlled and regulated by the synergy of many biomolecule interactions involving proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, nucleotides, saccharides, and small molecular weight ligands. There is growing interest in understanding them, not only for the purposes of interactomics as an essential part of system biology, but also in their further elucidation in disease pathology, diagnostics, and treatment. The necessity of detailed investigation of these interactions leads to the requirement of laboratory methods characterized by high efficiency and sensitivity. As a result, many instrumental approaches differing in their fundamental principles have been developed, including those based on capillary electrophoresis. Although capillary electrophoresis offers numerous advantages for such studies, it still has one serious limitation, its poor concentration sensitivity with the most commonly used detection method-ultraviolet-visible spectrometry. However, coupling capillary electrophoresis with a more sensitive detector fulfils the above-mentioned requirement. In this review, capillary electrophoresis combined with fluorescence, mass spectrometry, and several nontraditional detection techniques in affinity interaction studies are summarized and discussed, together with the possibility of conducting these measurements in microchip format.
