Abstract
This paper presents holo/apo conversion two-dimensional urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (HAC-2D urea PAGE) as a novel method for speciating Fe3+-bound transferrin (Tf) species in biological samples, with a combination of metal ion contaminant sweeping (MICS) technique and Fe3+ detection PAGE. In the HAC-2D urea MICS-PAGE approach, HAC was performed to dissociate all the Fe3+ ions bound to Tf from the Fe-Tf species, during a two-step urea PAGE. Using this method, Fe2-Tf, FeN-Tf, and FeC-Tf (holo-Tf, Fe3+-bound Tf attached to N-lobe, and Fe3+-bound Tf attached C-lobe, respectively) were completely isolated based on the difference in the higher-order structure of Tf, visible as horizontally aligned spots off the diagonal. The Fe3+ ions bound to Tf in each gel fraction were determined using PAGE with a fluorescent probe. Without the MICS technique, which electrophoretically removes all contaminant Fe3+ ions from the gel medium to ensure accurate determination of the Fe3+ concentration, it becomes challenging to precisely measure the distribution of metalloprotein species owing to the contaminants. Finally, the distribution of each Fe-bound Tf in a standard human serum sample was successfully determined by complete separation from large amounts of coexisting proteins, and the free Fe3+ concentration in the serum was estimated.

Abstract
We found a singly charged Np(V)O2+ complex with unprecedented kinetic inertness in aqueous solution, one million times slower than the widely accepted fast kinetics of neptunyl complexes. An inert NpO2+ complex with a fluorescent 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylate derivative was found by kinetic selection using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) from a small chemical library. Autoreduction from Np(VI)O22+ to Np(V)O2+ via complexation was observed. A remarkably small spontaneous dissociation rate constant of 8 × 10-6 s-1 (half-life of 23 h) was determined using PAGE. Selective detection of Np(V)O2+ was achieved in PAGE with a detection limit of 68 pmol dm-3 (17 fg). This system was successfully applied to simulated radioactive waste samples. Our finding that electron-rich NpO2+ forms a uniquely inert complex with no strong electrostatic interaction reveals a new aspect of actinide chemistry for developing a novel separation system of real radioactive material samples.

Abstract
Aside from HPLC and GC, capillary electrophoresis (CE) is one of the most important techniques for high-performance separations in modern analytical chemistry. Its main advantages are the possibility of using different detection techniques, the possibility of in-capillary sample processing for preconcentration or derivatization, and ease of instrumental miniaturization down to the microfluidic scale. Those features are utilized in the separation of macromolecules in biochemistry and in genetic investigations, but they can be also used in determinations of inorganic ions in water analysis. This review, based on about 100 original research works, presents applications of CE methods in water analysis reported in recent decade, mostly regarding conductivity detection or indirect UV detection. The developed applications include analysis of high salinity sea waters, as well as analysis of other surface waters and drinking waters.

Abstract
Humic acid (HA), a fraction of humic substances, can strongly complex with metal ions to form a supramolecular assembly via coordination binding and other intermolecular forces. However, determining the supramolecular size distribution and stoichiometry between small HA unit molecules constituting HA supramolecules and metal ions has proven to be challenging. Here, we investigated the changes in the size distributions of HAs induced by Cu2+ and Tb3+ ions using unique PAGE for the separation and quantification of HA complexes and metal ions bound, followed by UV-vis spectroscopy and excitation-emission matrix-parallel factor analysis. By determining the concentrations of HA and metal ions, it was possible to estimate the stoichiometry of the HA unit molecule to metal ions in supramolecular complexes. It was found that the supramolecular behaviors of Cu2+ and Tb3+ complexes with HA collected from peat (PAHA) and deep groundwater (HHA) differed. For example, two HHA unit molecules form a supramolecule via cross-linking by a Cu2+ ion in the case of Cu2+-HHA. Our results suggest that this supramolecular stoichiometry is related to the abundance of sulfur atoms in the elemental composition of HHA. Our experimental results and analysis provide new insights into HA supramolecules formed via metal complexation.

Abstract
A novel combination of CE-based separation techniques was used for the precise fractionation of ionic compounds from impurities. The combination of on-capillary concentration and separation using transient isotachophoresis, with multiple injections and a two-point detection system provided higher efficiency, and accuracy at a microliter-scale injection volume, than when CE was individually used for purification. In this paper, we present successful applications of the CE fractionation techniques for the purification of fluorescein, fluorescein-4-isothiocyanate, two fluorescent metal ion probes, and a fluorescein-modified DNA aptamer. The purity of the isolated fluorescent probes ranged from 95 to 99%. Such high purity could not be achieved using chromatographic purification techniques. With relatively low dilution factors of 6-9, the purified probe solutions were practical for use as purified stock solutions. In addition, the fluorescein-modified DNA aptamer purified by our method was successfully used in a thrombin binding assay. The method developed was useful for the purification of anionic fluorescent reagents to be of ultratrace analytical grade for use with CE-LIF.

Abstract
Humic acids (HAs) play important roles for the fate of metal ions in the environment. Most chemical speciation models involving HAs assume heterogeneous metal ion binding. However, these models also assume that the binding affinities of metal ions with HAs are the same regardless of the molecular weight (MW) ranges of the HAs involved. Here, we develop new polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) techniques to investigate the MW distributions of HAs with strongly complexed Cu2+ ions. By combining contaminant metal-free and high-resolution PAGE for HAs, this work was able to provide accurate MW distributions for the complexed metal ions. The MW distribution of Cu2+ binding ability per quantity of HA indicates that strong metal-binding moieties in HAs are heterogeneous in terms of MW. Coupling of the PAGE techniques with UV-vis and excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectrometry-parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) methods revealed new insights into kinetically inert interactions between HAs and Cu2+ ions. By this method, we found that the protein-like fluorescence components in the high- and low-MW regions cooperatively responded through Cu2+ binding. Thus, the advanced gel electrophoresis techniques developed herein are able to shed new light on the heterogeneity of metal binding affinities of HAs in terms of MW.
