The separation of the mycobactins from Mycobacterium smegmatis by using high-pressure liquid chromatography.

ABSTRACT: The family of mycobactins from Mycobacterium smegmatis were resolved into seven fractions by high-pressure liquid chromatography. This separation was by virtue of the differences in length and character of the long acyl substituents as shown by g.l.c. of the methyl esters of the isolated fatty acids from the fractions. As t.l.c. could also resolve the individual mycobactin fractions, it too must rely on the same differences to effect separation. As the lengths of the acyl chains were modulated by the growth conditions, a specific range of acyl groups may not be needed for mycobactin to function. This technique provides a simple means of rapidly characterizing crude mycobactins from all mycobacteria.

Supramolecular Chromatographic Separation of C60 and C70 Fullerenes: Flash Column Chromatography vs. High Pressure Liquid Chromatography.

Project description:A silica-bound C-butylpyrogallol[4]arene chromatographic stationary phase was prepared and characterised by thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, NMR and mass spectrometry. The chromatographic performance was investigated by using C60 and C70 fullerenes in reverse phase mode via flash column and high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). The resulting new stationary phase was observed to demonstrate size-selective molecular recognition as postulated from our in-silico studies. The silica-bound C-butylpyrogallol[4]arene flash and HPLC stationary phases were able to separate a C60- and C70-fullerene mixture more effectively than an RP-C18 stationary phase. The presence of toluene in the mobile phase plays a significant role in achieving symmetrical peaks in flash column chromatography.

Optimize the Separation of Fluorinated Amphiles Using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography.

Project description:Using the set of fluorinated amphiles that contain the same fluorocarbon moiety but differ in their fluorine content percentage F% (25-45%), the optimal condition for a F%-based separation of these analytes using reverse-phase chromatography was explored. It is found that optimal separation can be achieved by pairing a regular reverse-phase column (such as C8) with a fluorinated eluent (such as trifluoroethanol). Separation is further improved at higher chromatographic temperature with baseline separation achieved at 45°C. This result indicates that the separation of fluorocarbon-tagged molecules can be based on the fluorine content percentage rather than the number of fluorine atoms.

Separation of porphyrin isomers by high-performance liquid chromatography.

Project description:A reversed-phase gradient elution system is described for the simultaneous separation of the type I and type III isomers of 8-, 7-, 6-, 5- and 4-carboxylated porphyrins and isocoproporphyrins. The method, adaptable for isocratic and stepwise separation of individual groups of isomers, is also suitable for preparative isolation of pure porphyrins. The analyses of porphyrin isomers in the urine and faeces of porphyric patients are examples of applications.

Separation of New Coumarin Glycosides from Toddalia asiatica Using Offline Two-Dimensional High-Performance Liquid Chromatography.

Project description:Coumarins and flavonoids are the major constituents of Toddalia asiatica. The separation and purification of ingredients from T. asiatica is an important procedure to acquire high-purity compounds for subsequent pharmacological investigation to discover leading compounds. In the present work, an offline two-dimensional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was successfully established for the separation of high-purity glycosides from T. asiatica. Based on the separation results obtained with two different chromatographic stationary phases, a phenyl-bonded silica-based reversed-phase column was employed as the first HPLC preparation, and three fractions were obtained from the sample. Then, the fractions were isolated and purified on an octadecyl-bonded silica-based reversed-phase column to obtain high-purity compounds in the second HPLC separation. As a result, three coumarin glycosides, including two undescribed and one known, along with one known flavonoid glycoside with more than 98% purity were isolated from the sample. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic evidence derived from optical rotation, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments. Two-dimensional HPLC with different stationary phases has the potential to be an efficient method for the separation of high-purity compounds from T. asiatica.

Separation and liquid chromatography using a single carbon nanotube.

Project description:Use of a single template-grown carbon nanotube as a separation column to separate attoliter volumes of binary mixtures of fluorescent dyes has been demonstrated. The cylindrical nanotube walls are used as stationary phase and the surface area is increased by growing smaller multi-walled carbon nanotubes within the larger nanotube column. Liquid-liquid extraction is performed to separate selectively soluble solutes in a solvent, and chromatographic separation is demonstrated using thin, long nanotubes coated inside with iron oxide nanoparticles. The setup is also used to determine the diffusion coefficient of a solute at the sub-micrometer scale. This study opens avenues for analytical chemistry in attoliter volumes of fluids for various applications and cellular analysis at the single cell level.

Separation of Fluorinated Amino Acids and Oligopeptides from their Non-fluorinated Counterparts using High-performance Liquid Chromatography.

Project description:Chromatographic conditions for the separation of fluorinated amino acids and oligopeptides from their non-fluorinated counterparts were explored. The separation of six pairs of analytes, including both aromatic and aliphatic fluorocarbons, was investigated at various temperatures using both hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon columns and eluents. Our results show that when hydrocarbon eluents are used, fluorocarbon column provides better separation of fluorinated amino acids or oligopeptides from their non-fluorinated counterparts; when fluorocarbon eluents are used, hydrocarbon column provides better separation of fluorinated amino acids or oligopeptides from their non-fluorinated counterparts. These chromatographic behaviors reflect the fluorophilicity possessed by fluorinated amino acids and oligopeptides.

Two-Dimensional Separation Using High-pH and Low-pH Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography for Top-down Proteomics.

Project description:Advancements in chromatographic separation are critical to in-depth top-down proteomics of complex intact protein samples. Reversed-phase liquid chromatography is the most prevalent technique for top-down proteomics. However, in cases of high complexities and large dynamic ranges, 1D-RPLC may not provide sufficient coverage of the proteome. To address these challenges, orthogonal separation techniques are often combined to improve the coverage and the dynamic range of detection. In this study, a "salt-free" high-pH RPLC was evaluated as an orthogonal dimension of separation to conventional low-pH RPLC with top-down MS. The RPLC separations with low-pH conditions (pH=2) and high-pH conditions (pH=10) were compared to confirm the good orthogonality between high-pH and low-pH RPLC's. The offline 2D RPLC-RPLC-MS/MS analyses of intact E. coli samples were evaluated for the improvement of intact protein identifications as well as intact proteoform characterizations. Compared to the 163 proteins and 328 proteoforms identified using a 1D RPLC-MS approach, 365 proteins and 886 proteoforms were identified using the 2D RPLC-RPLC top-down MS approach. Our results demonstrate that the 2D RPLC-RPLC top-down approach holds great potential for in-depth top-down proteomics studies by utilizing the high resolving power of RPLC separations and by using mass spectrometry compatible buffers for easy sample handling for online MS analysis.

Analysis of water-soluble antioxidants by high-pressure liquid chromatography.

Project description:The measurement of endogenous substances that function as biological antioxidants is of importance because the values obtained might be an index of future health. We quantified three water-soluble antioxidants by high-pressure liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (h.p.l.c.-e.c.). Current-voltage relationships made at various settings of the D2 porous graphite electrode help to identify ascorbic acid, glutathione and uric acid. The antioxidants are determined simultaneously and without need for derivatization. The method is seen to be useful for comparison of normal rat liver with liver that had undergone oxidative stress through ischaemia. Antioxidant levels in liver, kidney, pancreas and intestinal mucosa are presented and compared with literature values. Endogenous contents of oxidized forms of ascorbic acid and glutathione become apparent following exposure of tissue samples to a strong reductant such as 2-mercapthoethanol.

Proteogenomic Analysis of Mycobacterium smegmatis Using High Resolution Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Biochemical evidence is vital for accurate genome annotation. The integration of experimental data collected at the proteome level using high resolution mass spectrometry allows for improvements in genome annotation by providing evidence for novel gene models, while validating or modifying others. Here, we report the results of a proteogenomic analysis of a reference strain of Mycobacterium smegmatis (mc(2)155), a fast growing model organism for the pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis-the causative agent for Tuberculosis. By integrating high throughput LC/MS/MS proteomic data with genomic six frame translation and ab initio gene prediction databases, a total of 2887 ORFs were identified, including 2810 ORFs annotated to a Reference protein, and 63 ORFs not previously annotated to a Reference protein. Further, the translational start site (TSS) was validated for 558 Reference proteome gene models, while upstream translational evidence was identified for 81. In addition, N-terminus derived peptide identifications allowed for downstream TSS modification of a further 24 gene models. We validated the existence of six previously described interrupted coding sequences at the peptide level, and provide evidence for four novel frameshift positions. Analysis of peptide posterior error probability (PEP) scores indicates high-confidence novel peptide identifications and shows that the genome of M. smegmatis mc(2)155 is not yet fully annotated. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD003500.
