Abstract
Peptides are an important class of analytes in chemistry, biochemistry, food chemistry, as well as medical and pharmaceutical sciences including biomarker analysis in peptidomics and proteomics. As a high-resolution technique, capillary electrophoresis (CE) is well suited for the analysis of polar compounds such as peptides. In addition, CE is orthogonal to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as both techniques are based on different physicochemical separation principles. For the successful development of peptide separations by CE, operational parameters including puffer pH, buffer concentration and buffer type, applied voltage, capillary dimensions, as well as background electrolyte additives such as detergents, ion-pairing reagents, cyclodextrins, (poly)amines, and soluble polymers have to be considered and optimized.

Abstract
In this work, we introduce an entirely automated enzyme assay based on capillary electrophoresis coupled to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry termed MINISEP-MS for multiple interfluent nanoinjections-incubation-separation-enzyme profiling using mass spectrometry. MINISEP-MS requires only nanoliters of reagent solutions and uses the separation capillary as a microreactor, allowing multiple substrates to be assayed simultaneously. The method can be used to rapidly profile the substrate specificity of any enzyme and to measure steady-state kinetics in an automated fashion. We used the MINISEP-MS assay to profile the substrate specificity of three aminotransferases (E. coli aspartate aminotransferase, E. coli branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase, and Bacillus sp. YM-1 D-amino acid aminotransferase) for 33 potential amino acid substrates and to measure steady-state kinetics. Using MINISEP-MS, we were able to recapitulate the known substrate specificities and to discover new amino acid substrates for these industrially relevant enzymes. Additionally, we were able to measure the apparent K(M) and k(cat) parameters for amino acid donor substrates of these aminotransferases. Because of its many advantages, the MINISEP-MS assay has the potential of becoming a useful tool for researchers aiming to identify or create novel enzymes for specific biocatalytic applications.

Abstract
In this study, the open-tubular electrochromatographic (OT-CEC) migration behavior of various peptides has been characterized using etched and chemically (n-octadecyl- and cholesterol-) modified capillaries, interfaced to an electrospray ionization mass spectrometer through a sheath liquid configuration. The stationary phases were fabricated by etching the inner wall of the fused-silica capillary and then chemically modifying the new surface through a silanization/hydrosilation reaction. Unlike some other OT-CEC stationary-phase preparation methods, leaching of the immobilized stationary phase and subsequent contamination of the electrospray ion source was largely avoided with this novel surface modification technology. The influence of the immobilized organic phases and those of the buffer electrolytes (pH, the type and content of organic solvent) on the retention and separation of the selected peptides was investigated. Significant peptide retention was found even at very low pH with both types of stationary phases, under conditions whereby the electrophoretic migration dominated the separation process. Due to the effective coverage of the etched surface by a silanization/hydrosilation reaction, adverse adsorption of charged analytes onto the capillary wall was minimized. As a result, very efficient and highly reproducible peptide separations were achieved over a broad pH range. Moreover, peptide-specific multizoning effects were observed. The origin of this novel phenomenon was explored. Compared to capillary electrophoresis electrospray ionization mass spectrometry system, much higher detection sensitivity could be obtained, since a larger amount of sample could be injected and stacked at the head of the open-tubular capillary column without deteriorating the separation performance. On the basis of these observations, these procedures have been adapted to allow the analysis of tryptic peptides generated from proteins.

Abstract
The article gives a comprehensive review on the recent developments in the applications of high-performance capillary electromigration methods, zone electrophoresis, isotachophoresis, isoelectric focusing, affinity electrophoresis, electrokinetic chromatography, and electrochromatography, to analysis, preparation, and physicochemical characterization of peptides. The article presents new approaches to the theoretical description and experimental verification of electromigration behavior of peptides, covers the methodological aspects of capillary electroseparations of peptides, such as rational selection of separation conditions, sample preparation, suppression of peptide adsorption, new developments in individual separation modes, and new designs of detection systems. Several types of applications of capillary electromigration methods to peptide analysis are presented: conventional qualitative and quantitative analysis, purity control, determination in biomatrices, monitoring of chemical and enzymatical reactions and physical changes, amino acid and sequence analysis, and peptide mapping of proteins. Some examples of micropreparative peptide separations are given and capabilities of capillary electromigration techniques to provide important physicochemical characteristics of peptides are demonstrated.

Abstract
A new method to improve the analysis of phytochelatins and their precursors (cysteine, gamma-Glu-Cys, and glutathione) derivatized with monobromobimane (mBrB) in complex biological samples by capillary zone electrophoresis is described. The effects of the background electrolyte pH, concentration, and different organic additives (acetonitrile, methanol, and trifluoroethanol) on the separation were studied to achieve optimum resolution and number of theoretical plates of the analyzed compounds in the electropherograms. Optimum separation of the thiol peptides was obtained with 150 mM phosphate buffer at pH 1.60. Separation efficiency was improved when 2.5% v/v methanol was added to the background electrolyte. The electrophoretic conditions were 13 kV and capillary dimensions with 30 cm length from the inlet to the detector (38 cm total length) and 50 microm inner diameter. The injection was by pressure at 50 mbar for 17 s. Under these conditions, the separation between desglycyl-peptides and phytochelatins was also achieved. We also describe the optimum conditions for the derivatization of biological samples with mBrB to increase electrophoretic sensitivity and number of theoretical plates. The improved method was shown to be simple, reproducible, selective, and accurate in measuring thiol peptides in complex biological samples, the detection limit being 2.5 microM glutathione at a wavelength of 390 nm.

Abstract
We describe a method for the simultaneous determination of the five fibrinopeptide forms derived from the thrombin-promoted activation of human fibrinogen by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). The fibrinopeptide mixture was first desalted by a solid-phase extraction (SPE) step. The analysis was performed in reversed polarity in a highly cross-linked polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated capillary with UV-light absorption detection at 200 nm. Several parameters including buffer concentration and pH, presence of an organic modifier, temperature, and applied voltage, have been tested. The best separations were obtained within 20 min, utilizing a 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer without organic modifier, in the narrow 6.1-6.2 pH range, at 25 degrees C, with an applied voltage of 20 kV. Quantitative analysis is made possible by the use of sheep fibrinopeptide A as an internal standard to correct for both extraction and injection errors.

Abstract
In this study, procedures based on volatile ammonium acetate buffer electrolytes of high pH value containing different organic solvent modifiers have been developed to achieve very high efficiency separations of histidine-containing synthetic peptides by high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) employing untreated fused silica capillaries. Different organic solvents, including acetonitrile, methanol and ethanol, at high volume fractions were used to modify the composition of the background buffer electrolyte. With the peptides investigated, it was found that methanol had the greatest effect in terms of enhancement of separation efficiency, as determined from the evaluation of theoretical plate numbers, N, of these HPCE systems. On the other hand, separation selectivities, e.g. the alpha(ij) values, did not change significantly as the volume fraction, psi, of the organic solvents was increased up to psi = 60% (v/v). Under these conditions, very rapid, e.g. 1-2 min, separation times could be still achieved. Compared to the effect of carrying out the separation of these peptides at constant voltage, a dramatic increase in the separation efficiency was also achieved by applying a linear voltage gradient during the HPCE experiment. Under optimal conditions of organic solvent composition and linear voltage gradient ramps, very high peak efficiencies for the studied set of synthetic peptides with N values of approximately 2-3 million theoretical plates per meter could be routinely obtained with fast analysis times. Moreover, these buffer electrolyte conditions are compatible with direct interfacing of the HPCE effluent to electrospray ionisation and ion trap mass spectrometers, thus expanding the analytical capabilities of these HPCE systems.

Abstract
The effect of variations in the concentrations of different organic solvents, including acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, propanol and isopropanol, with aqueous buffer electrolytes of defined composition and pH on the electroosmotic flow velocity, v(EOF), of uncoated fused silica capillaries and on the electrophoretic mobility, mu(e), of synthetic peptides in high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) has been systematically investigated. In these experiments, the volume fractions of the organic solvent in the aqueous buffer electrolyte were changed from psi = 0.0 to 0.80. The addition of these organic solvents to the aqueous buffer electrolyte reduced the electroosmotic flow (EOF) of the system, but to significantly different extents. For the protic solvents as the alkyl chain of the alcohol increased, at the same volume fraction the greater was the influence on the electroosmotic flow. However, for the aprotic solvent, acetonitrile, the EOF did not change substantially as the volume fraction was varied. The electrophoretic mobility of synthetic peptides under the different buffer electrolyte conditions showed similar trends, confirming that the content and type of the organic modifier can be rationally employed to subtly manipulate the separation selectivity of synthetic peptides. These results, therefore, provide fundamental insight into the experimental options that can be used to maximise resolution of synthetic peptides in HPCE with aqueous buffer-organic solvent mixtures as well as a basis to select optimal binary or ternary buffer electrolyte compositions for the analysis of peptides when hyphenated techniques, such as HPCE-electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), are contemplated for the analysis of peptide samples of low abundance as can often be experienced in proteomic investigations.

Abstract
Two sets of peptides, each having structurally similar amino acid sequences, have been investigated by capillary electrochromatography (CEC) using etched chemically modified capillaries as the separation medium. In comparison to gradient RP-HPLC, the resolving power of the described CEC methods has been found to be superior. A number of variables have been examined with respect to optimization of the separation of these closely related peptides with several different etched chemically modified capillaries. These experimental variables included the nature of the bonded moiety, the pH, the organic modifier type, and the amount of organic modifier in the buffer electrolyte. Systematic variation of these parameters results in significant changes in the migrational behavior of the investigated peptides and provides important insight into the underlying molecular separation processes that prevail in open tubular CEC. Moreover, under optimized conditions, efficient separations characterized by highly symmetrical peaks were achieved. In addition, this study has permitted the long-term stability as well as the short-term and long-term reproducibility of the etched chemically modified capillaries to be documented.
