Abstract
Capillary sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis has long been used for the analysis of proteins, mostly either with entangled polymer networks or translationally cross-linked gels. In this paper capillary agarose gel electrophoresis is introduced for the separation of low molecular weight immunoglobulin subunits. The light (LC~24 kDa) and heavy (HC~50 kDa) chain fragments of a monoclonal antibody therapeutic drug were used to optimize the sieving matrix composition of the agarose/Tris-borate-EDTA (TBE) systems. The agarose and boric acid contents were systematically varied between 0.2–1.0% and 320–640 mM, respectively. The influence of several physical parameters such as viscosity and electroosmotic flow were also investigated, the latter to shed light on its effect on the electrokinetic injection bias. Three dimensional Ferguson plots were utilized to better understand the sieving performance of the various agarose/TBE ratio gels, especially relying on their slope (retardation coefficient, KR) value differences. The best resolution between the LC and non-glycosylated HC IgG subunits was obtained by utilizing the molecular sieving effect of the 1% agarose/320 mM boric acid composition (ΔKR = 0.035). On the other hand, the 0.8% agarose/640 mM boric acid gel showed the highest separation power between the similar molecular weight, but different surface charge density non-glycosylated HC and HC fragments (ΔKR = 0.005). It is important to note that the agarose-based gel-buffer systems did not require any capillary regeneration steps between runs other than simple replenishment of the sieving matrix, significantly speeding up analysis cycle time.

Abstract
Despite tremendous complexity in glycan structure, sialic acid (SA) provides an analytically accessible index for glycosylation, owing to its uniquely anionic nature and glycan-chain terminal occupation. Taking advantage of boronic acid (BA) based SA-recognition chemistry, we here demonstrate a label-free, no enzymatic, potentiometric determination of fetuin, a blood-circulating glycoprotein implicated in physiological and various pathological states. A phenylboronic acid (PBA) ω-end-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with an α-tethering unit bearing pendent alkyne groups was "grafted-to" a gold electrode modified with 11-azide-undecathiol by a copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. Using the electrode, fetuin was potentiometrically detectable with a μM-order-sensitivity that is comparable to what is found in blood-collected specimen. Our finding may have implications for developing a remarkably economic hemodiagnostic technology with ease of downsizing and mass production.

Abstract
Tracing cell surface sialylation dynamics at a scale of the glycolipoprotein microdomain (lipid rafts) formations remains an intriguing challenge of cellular biology. Here, we demonstrate that this goal is accessible, taking advantage of a boronic acid (BA)-based reversible molecular recognition chemistry. A BA-end-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) was decorated onto an atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilever, which provided a dynamic and sialic acid (SA)-specific imaging mode. Using this technique, we were able to heat map the SA expression levels not only on protein-decorated substrates but also directly on the cell surfaces, with a submicrometer scale resolution that may be relevant to that of the lipid rafts formation. The SA specificity and the binding reversibility of the probe were confirmed from its pH-dependent characteristics and an inhibition assay using free state SA. This finding may provide a noninvasive means for assessing a variety of SA-involved glycosylation dynamics spanning from physiology to pathology.

Abstract
A group of heterocyclic boronic acids demonstrating unusually high affinity and selectivity for sialic acids are described, with strong interactions under the weakly acidic pH conditions associated with a hypoxic tumoral microenvironment.
Boronic acids are well known for their ability to reversibly interact with the diol groups found in sugars and glycoproteins. However, they are generally indiscriminate in their binding. Herein we describe the discovery of a group of heterocyclic boronic acids demonstrating unusually high affinity and selectivity for sialic acids (SAs or N-acetylneuraminic acid), which are sugar residues that are intimately linked with tumor growth and cancer progression. Remarkably, these interactions strengthen under the weakly acidic pH conditions associated with a hypoxic tumoral microenvironment. In vitro competitive binding assays uncovered a significantly higher ability of 5-boronopicolinic acid, one of the derivatives identified in this work as a strong SA-binder, to interact with cell surface SA in comparison to a gold-standard structure, 3-propionamidophenylboronic acid, which has proven to be an efficient SA-binder in numerous reports. This structure also proved to be suitable for further chemical conjugation with a well-preserved SA-binding capability. These findings suggest an attractive alternative to other ongoing boronic acid based chemistry techniques aiming to achieve tumor-specific chemotherapies and diagnoses.

Abstract
Field-effect-transistor (FET) based electrical signal transduction is an increasingly prevalent strategy for bio-sensing. This technique, often termed "Bio-FETs", provides an essentially label-free and real-time based bio-sensing platform effective for a variety of targets. This review highlights recent progress and challenges in the field. A special focus is on the comprehension of emerging nanotechnology-based approaches to facilitate signal-transduction and amplification. Some new targets of Bio-FETs and the future perspectives are also discussed.

Abstract
Six reducing monosaccharides (mannose, galactose, fucose, glucose, xylose, and arabinose) were derivatized with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) and chiral resolution of these racemic PMP-monosaccharides was studied by ligand-exchange CE using borate anion as a central ion of the chiral selector and (S)-3-amino-1,2-propanediol (SAP) as a chiral selector ligand. PMP-mannose, PMP-galactose and PMP-fucose were successfully enantioseparated. Lowering the capillary temperature increased the resolution of PMP-mannose system, but decreased that of PMP-galactose and PMP-fucose systems. Whereas the maximum resolution was obtained at pH 8.9 in the PMP-mannose system, resolution increased gradually with pH in the PMP-galactose and PMP-fucose systems. Expecting the formation of the ternary borate complexes with SAP and PMP-monosaccharide in the CE experiments, the optimized structures of the borate diastereomers were obtained by semiempirical molecular orbital calculations to discuss the structural difference of the diastereomers in connection with the enantioseparation behaviors.

Abstract
Doxorubicinol (DOXol) is a human metabolite of the chemotherapy agent doxorubicin (DOX), and is associated with dose-dependent cardiotoxicity and decreased drug efficacy. Due to the structural similarities and equal molecular charges of DOXol and DOX, their electrophoretic separation is commonly ineffective. A method for separating and detecting DOX and DOXol, as well as two DOXol enantiomers, was established using cyclodextrin-modified micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with laser-induced fluorescence detection. Differential DOXol production was detected in a DOX-sensitive and resistant pair of cell lines, with a 0.08 +/- 0.01 fmol limit of detection.

Abstract
Three compounds having 1,2-diol structure (1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol, 3-phenoxy-1,2-propanediol, and 3-benzyloxy-1,2-propanediol) were enantioseparated by ligand exchange MEKC using (5S)-pinanediol (SPD) as a chiral selector and borate anion as a central ion together with SDS. When (S)-1,2-propanediol, (S)-1,2,4-butanetriol, or (S)-3-tert-butylamino-1,2-propanediol were used as the chiral ligand instead of SPD, these three compounds were not enantioseparated. When borate was replaced with 2-aminoethane-1-sulfonate or N-cyclohexyl-3-aminopropanesulfonate, no chiral separation was achieved. Therefore, the hydrophobic interaction between the chiral selector and the chiral analytes within the transient diastereomeric complex may play an important role in the enantioseparation achieved by the proposed method.

Abstract
DNA electrophoresis has been a dominant technique in molecular biology for 30 years. The foundation for this common technique is based on a few simple electrochemical principles. Electrophoretic DNA separation borrowed from existing protein and RNA techniques developed in the 1950s and 1960s. For 30 years, common DNA electrophoretic conductive media remained largely unchanged, with Tris as the primary cation. DNA electrophoresis relies simply upon the negative charge of the phosphate backbone and the ability to distribute a voltage gradient in a sieving matrix. Nevertheless, the conductive properties in DNA electrophoresis are complicated by choices involving voltage, electric current, conductivity, temperature, and the concentration and identity of the ionic species present. Differences among the extant chemical recipes for common conductive media affect central properties. Tris-based buffers, even in optimal form, create a runaway positive feedback loop between heat generation and retention, temperature, conductivity, and current. This is undesirable, leading to limitations on the permissible electric field and to impaired resolution. Recently, we developed low-molarity conductive media to mitigate this positive feedback loop. Such media allow for application of a higher electric field. Applications of DNA electrophoresis can now be reengineered for lower ionic strength, higher field strengths, and lower requirements for heat dissipation.

Abstract
The cell walls of an 80/81 strain of Staphylococcus aureus (NYH-6) contain alanine, glycine, glutamic acid, lysine, muramic acid, glucosamine, and ribitol phosphate. 94 per cent of the phosphorus and 41 per cent of the glucosamine are removed by extraction of the cell walls with hot 5 per cent TCA, but significant amounts of the other constituents are not extracted by this procedure. The residue after hot TCA extraction (mucopeptide) is susceptible to lysozyme whereas the intact cell walls are resistant. Staphylococcus aureus cell walls are agglutinated by S. aureus antisera. Agglutination of the cell walls of one S. aureus strain is inhibited by absorption of antisera with cell walls of other S. aureus strains but not by absorption with S. albus cell walls. The ribitol teichoic acid can be isolated from cold TCA extracts of the cell walls. This compound consists almost entirely of ribitol phosphate and glucosamine. The isolated teichoic acid of strain NYH-6 is readily fixed to tanned sheep erythrocytes and these sensitized cells are agglutinated by S. aureus antisera. Cold TCA extracts of cell walls of other strains of S. aureus inhibit hemagglutination whereas extracts of S. albus walls do not. Studies on the inhibition of both hemagglutination and precipitation indicate that the antigenic determinant of S. aureus NYH-6 teichoic acid is beta-N-acetylglucosamine.

Abstract
The electrophoresis of small DNA fragments has been measured in dilute agarose and polyacrylamide gels cast and run in Tris-acetate-EDTA (TAE) and Tris-borate-EDTA (TBE) buffers. Ferguson plots were constructed to extrapolate the mobilities to zero gel concentration and estimate the free solution mobility of DNA. In polyacrylamide gels, in both TAE and TBE buffers, the extrapolated mobilities at zero gel concentration increased gradually with decreasing DNA molecular weight, went through a maximum at approximately 60 bp, and then decreased again. The increase in the extrapolated mobilities with decreasing molecular weight observed for DNA fragments > or = 60 bp can be attributed to transient interactions between the migrating DNA molecules and the polyacrylamide gel fibers. If such interactions are eliminated by extrapolating the mobilities to both zero gel concentration and zero DNA molecular weight, the apparent free solution mobility of DNA is found to be 3.1 x 10(-4) cm2 V(-1) s(-1) in TAE buffer and 4.2 x 10(-4) cm2 V(-1) s(-1) in TBE buffer at 20 degrees C, reasonably close to the actual free solution mobilities measured in the same two buffers by capillary electrophoresis (N. C. Stellwagen et al., Biopolymers 1997, 42, 687-703). The significantly larger electrophoretic mobility observed in TBE buffer is most likely due to the formation of nonspecific, highly charged deoxyribose-borate complexes in this buffer medium. For DNA molecules < or = 60 bp in size, the decrease in the extrapolated mobilities with decreasing molecular weight parallels the decrease in their free solution mobilities observed by capillary electrophoresis. In agarose gels, the extrapolated mobilities of small DNA molecules at zero gel concentration appear to be independent of molecular weight. The apparent free solution mobilities are found to be (3.0 +/- 0.1) x 10(-4) cm2 V(-1) s(-1) in TAE buffer and (3.2 +/- 0.1) x 10(-4) cm2 V(-1) s(-1) in TBE buffer. The very similar mobilities observed in the two buffer media suggest that the borate ions in TBE buffer primarily form complexes with the galactose residues in the agarose gel fibers, rather than with the migrating DNA molecules, because of mass action effects. The formation of borate-agarose complexes, increasing the net negative charge of the agarose gel fibers, appears to be responsible for the markedly increased electroendosmotic flow observed in agarose gels cast and run in TBE buffer (N. C. Stellwagen, Electrophoresis 1992, 13, 601-603).

Abstract
The free solution mobility of DNA has been measured by capillary electrophoresis in the two buffers most commonly used for DNA gel electrophoresis, Tris-borate-EDTA (TBE) and Tris-acetate-EDTA (TAE). The capillaries were coated with polymers of either of two novel acrylamide monomers, N-acryloylaminoethoxyethanol or N-acryloylaminopropanol, both of which are stable at basic pH and effectively eliminate the electroendosmotic mobility due to the capillary walls. The free solution mobility of DNA in TAE buffer was found to be (3.75 +/- 0.04) x 10(-4) cm2 V-1 s-1 at 25 degrees C, independent of DNA concentration, sample size, electric field strength, and capillary coating, and in good agreement with other values in the literature. The free solution mobility was independent of DNA molecular weight from approximately 400 base pairs to 48.5 kilobase pairs, but decreased monotonically with decreasing molecular weight for smaller fragments. Surprisingly, the free solution mobility of DNA in TBE buffer was found to be (4.5 +/- 0.1) x 10(-4) cm2 V-1 s-1, about 20% larger than observed in TAE buffer, presumably because of the formation of nonspecific borate-deoxyribose complexes.

Abstract
The monosaccharide composition analysis described in this paper employs capillary electrophoretic separation of sugar monomers liberated from glycoproteins or oligosaccharides, by high temperature acidic hydrolysis. Trifluoroacetic acid was used for sialo- and neutral-sugar hydrolysis, and hydrochloric acid was used for amino-sugar hydrolysis. The neutral- and amino-sugars in the hydrolyzates were then labeled with a charged fluorophore, 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonate, while sialic acids were labeled with 9-aminoacridone. The stoichiometry of labeling was such that only one fluorophore molecule was attached to each monosaccharide molecule. The labeled monosaccharides were then separated by high-performance capillary electrophoresis with laser induced fluorescence detection. The acidic hydrolysis and fluorophore labeling conditions described in this paper are suitable for monosaccharide composition analysis of a wide variety of complex carbohydrates from glycoprotein and/or oligosaccharide samples using capillary electrophoresis.

Abstract
The most suitable conditions for selective precolumn derivatization of sialooligosaccharides, derived from gangliosides, with 7-aminonaphthalene-1,3-disulfonic acid (ANDSA) and the subsequent separation of the derivatives by capillary electrophoresis are described. ANDSA-sialooligosaccharide derivatives, which fluoresce at 420 nm when excited at 315 nm, were readily detected in capillary electrophoresis using an on-column lamp-operated fluorescence detector. In addition, the precolumn derivatization described here, which exploited the reactivity of the carboxylic acid group of the sialic acid residue of the oligosaccharides, replaced each weak carboxylic acid group of the parent sugar by two strong sulfonic acid groups. This allowed for electrophoresis over a wide range of pH and improved the resolution of the derivatives when compared to those obtained with underivatized sialooligosaccharides under identical separation conditions. The separation of sialooligosaccharides was best achieved when 75 mM borate, pH 10.0, was used as the running electrolyte. The derivatization and separation conditions described herein are expected to be readily transposed to the capillary electrophoresis of other sialooligosaccharides such as those derived from glycoproteins.

Abstract
A linear beta(1-3),beta(1-6) glucan was detected in the periplasm of Azospirillum brasilense cells growing in a medium of low osmotic strength. This glucan was produced in vitro by purified bacterial inner membranes with UDP-glucose as the sugar donor in the presence of Mg2+. Growth in a high-osmotic-strength medium strongly reduced the amount of this glucan accumulated in the periplasmic space, and the inhibition was associated with a reduction in the enzymatic activity of the beta(1-3),beta(1-6) glucosyltransferase(s).

Abstract
A new and specific precolumn derivatization reaction for acidic monosaccharides was introduced and evaluated in the separation and sensitive detection of carbohydrates by capillary electrophoresis. The derivatization reaction involved the attachment of sulfanilic acid (a UV absorbing tag) or 7-amino-naphthalene-1,3-disulfonic acid (a UV absorbing and fluorescing tag) via a condensation reaction between the amino group of the derivatizing agent and the carboxyl group of the sugar in the presence of a water-soluble carbodiimide. The derivatization reaction replaced the weak carboxylic acid of the sugar by a strong sulfonic acid, which is fully ionized at all pH. This allowed the electrophoresis of the sugar derivatives over a wide pH range and permitted the determination of acidic carbohydrates at very low femtomole levels by UV and fluorescence detection.

Abstract
The microheterogeneous mixture of fluoresceinated glycopeptides (FGPs) obtained from the single site of glycosylation of chicken ovalbumin was resolved by a combination of discontinuous electrophoresis in a high-density poly(acrylamide) gel (PAGE) for sizing, in conjunction with borate-PAGE. Two FGPs of similar size but with different mobilities in borate-PAGE were purified and characterized by sequential exoglycosidase digestion and sizing on the discontinuous PAGE system, as well as by methylation analysis. The two FGPs of identical size are distinct and have structures beta-D-Glc pNAc-(1-->2)-alpha-D-Man p-(1-->3)-[beta-D-Glc pNAc-(1-->4)]-[beta-D-Glc pNAc-(1-->2)-alpha-D- Man p-(1-->6)]-beta-D-Man-p-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glc pNAc-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glc pNAc-1-->R and alpha-D-Man p-(1-->2)-alpha-D-Man p-(1-->3 or 6)-[alpha-D-Man p-(1-->3)-[alpha-D-Man p-(1-->6)]-alpha-D-Man p-(1-->6 or 3)]-beta-D-Man p-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glc pNAc-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glc pNAc-1-->R (R = Asn-(amino acids)-fluorescein). The results demonstrate that two-dimensional PAGE is applicable to the separation and characterization of complex mixtures of FGPs. The procedure is rapid, sensitive, and convenient for glycopeptide mapping, and for the purification and structural characterization of glycans. Furthermore, the FGPs can be characterized with affinity matrices, such as lectins, and by methylation analysis.

Abstract
Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) has been investigated as an alternative method to analyze the carbohydrate moieties of glycoproteins. Carbohydrate-mediated microheterogeneity of the recombinant plasminogen activator (rt-PA) was examined. The glycoprotein was resolved in multiple electrophoretic species using CZE but the separation was complicated by adsorption of the molecules to the wall of the capillary. The influence of several parameters, such as pH, molarity of the buffer and addition of a cationic additive, on the separation of glycopeptides was investigated. High resolution and reproducible separations of rt-PA glycopeptides carrying hybrid and complex type chains were obtained using either a 100 mM phosphate buffer, pH 6.6, or a 100 mM Tricine buffer, pH 8.2, containing 1.25 mM of putrescine. N-Oligosaccharides from fetuin, t-PA and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein were separated within 20 min on the basis of both their sialic acid content and their structure. The use of an oligosaccharide fingerprinting technique, such as the present one, could have many applications in biotechnology to assess, for example, the consistency of production of a glycoprotein or for analytical glycoprotein chemistry.

Abstract
Combining the effects of electrophoresis and electroendosmosis, flavonoids were separated in less than ten minutes in a fused silica capillary tube with a borate buffer adjusted to pH 10. An increase in the concentration of borate from 0.1 to 0.2 M resulted in longer migration times due to a decrease in electroosmotic flow, but also in improved selectivity and higher resolution of flavonoids. The calibration curve of rutin showed a detection limit of 0.02 mg/mL and linearity over its pharmaceutical concentration range. Using an internal standard of known concentration, the content of rutin in a methanolic extract of Sambuci flos could be determined with a coefficient of variation as small as 3.8% by the molar ratio-peak area ratio method.

Abstract
The electrophoretic mobilities of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, sugar alcohols and sugar acids were determined in 0.3 M borate buffer, pH 10, using thin-layer electrophoresis on silanized silica gel, pretreated with octanol-1. A rapid separation of a number of sugars, occurring in foods, could be achieved. Using a 0.05-0.1 M neutral solution of barium acetate as electrolyte, thin-layer electrophoresis allowed excellent and rapid separation as well as identification of all common uronic acids which are constituents of many acidic polysaccharides.

Abstract
The synthesis of 3-nitro-4-(6-aminohexylamido)phenylboronic acid is described. The properties of two novel forms of immobilized phenylboronate agarose adsorbents [m-aminophenylboronic acid-Matrex Gel and 3-nitro-4-(6-aminohexylamido)phenylboronic acid-Sepharose CL-6B] were investigated. Both gels bind and selectively retard the glycoprotein alpha-glucosidase from yeast. The retardation is affected by following parameters: (i) pH, (ii) presence of sugar, (iii) concentration of sugar and (iv) buffer species (especially triethanolamine). Five sugars were studied, namely sorbitol, fructose, ribose, glucose and maltose. The concentration of sugar required to produce significant retardation increased in the above order, whereas the ability of sugar to form a complex with boron decreases in the same order. These effects were observed with crude as well as pure enzyme. Since alpha-glucosidase is a glycoprotein, it is proposed that this protein is mainly bound to these immobilized phenylboronates via sugar (glyco) residues. Displacement of the enzyme from the column is effected by the sugar in the buffer (or in a preincubation mixture). However, the marked pH-dependence (this retardation effect could only be observed at pH 7.4) suggests that these results are not due solely to hydrophobic or ionic mechanisms and are more complex than simple sugar-phenylboronic acid interactions.

Abstract
1. The deoxyfluoro-d-glucopyranose 6-phosphates were prepared from the corresponding deoxyfluoro-d-glucoses and ATP by using hexokinase. 2. 3-Deoxy-3-fluoro- and 4-deoxy-4-fluoro-d-glucose 6-phosphate were substrates for glucose phosphate isomerase, and in addition the products of this reaction, 3-deoxy-3-fluoro- and 4-deoxy-4-fluoro-d-fructose 6-phosphate respectively, were good substrates for phosphofructokinase. 3. Some C-2-substituted derivatives of d-glucose 6-phosphate were found to be competitive inhibitors of glucose phosphate isomerase. 4. The possible role of the hydroxyl groups in the binding of d-glucose 6-phopshate to glucose phosphate isomerase is discussed.

Abstract
An improved assay for phosphomannanase (an enzyme required for the preparation of yeast protoplasts) has been developed based on the release of mannan from yeast cell walls. A procedure for the growth of Bacillus circulans on a large scale for maximal production of the enzyme is described. The culture medium containing the secreted enzyme was concentrated, and the enzyme was purified by protamine sulfate treatment, ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration on P-100, and isoelectric density gradient electrophoresis. Although the enzyme was purified to apparent homogeneity, it still contained laminarinase activity which could not be separated by size or charge. The two enzymatic activities also exhibited two isoelectric points (pH 5.9 and 6.8) on ampholine electrophoresis. The laminarinase was not active on yeast glucan. The enzyme preparation was shown to remove mannan from yeast without removing glucan. Electron microscopic observation supports the idea that this mannan is the outer layer of the yeast wall. Phosphomannanase will produce protoplasts from yeast when supplemented with relatively low amounts of snail enzyme. This activity is present in snail enzyme but appeares to be rate-limiting when snail enzyme alone is used. Phosphomannanase has proven useful for studying the macromolecular organization of polymers in the yeast cell wall.

Abstract
Polysaccharides obtained from each of the organisms designated in the title have been resolved into three groups: galactomannans I, galactomannans II, and glucans. The five galactomannans II were homogeneous under conditions of electrophoresis, and had positive specific rotations. Methylation and hydrolysis of the five galactomannans II yielded varying amounts of the following: 2,3,5,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-galactose, 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-mannose, 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-mannose, 3,4,6-tri-O-methyl-D-mannose, 3,5-di-O-methyl-D-mannose, and 3,4-di-O-methyl-D-mannose. The galactomannans II were therefore very similar to each other in their gross structural features. The unbranched portions of the polysaccharides were formed by 1 → 2 and 1 → 6 linked α-D-mannopyranose units, with the former predominating. Branch points were formed through substitutions at the C-2 and C-6 positions of D-mannofuranose and D-mannopyranose, and branches were terminated by D-galactofuranose and D-mannopyranose units. The presence of 1 → 2 linked α-D-mannopyranose units in the linear portions of the galactomannans II constitutes a major structural difference between this group of polysaccharides and the galactomannans I. The two groups of galactomannans differ serologically.
