Expression reverse phase HPLC

Previously formulated transfer rules for binary mobile phases in reversed-phase HPLC can be explained by solubility parameter expressions. 

As an example, Table 4.3.1 presents the results calculated from reversed-phase and normal-phase HPLC analysis, respectively, of samples taken from an industrial WWTP [16]. Concentrations were expressed in microgram per gram of material as received. In the water sample, reversed-phase HPLC analysis showed the presence of NP and NPEO (Fig. 4.3.7(A)) with levels of 0.008 and 0.383 p,gg 1 (sum of NPEO), respectively. Normal-phase analysis of NPEO oligomers... 

This equation has been derived for the model of the analyte distribution between mobile and stationary phases and is the same as expression (2-30) in Section 2.6. To be able to use this equation, we need to dehne (or independently determine) the volumes of these phases. The question of the determination or definition of the volume of stationary phase is the subject of significant controversy in scientihc literature, especially as it is related to the reversed-phase HPLC process [19]. 

Recombinant human interleukin-2 (rIL-2, previously known as T-cell growth factor) was expressed in E. coli (7). During the purification process of rIL-2 by reversed-phase HPLC, another higher molecular weight form of this protein was also isolated, known as HMW rIL-2 (8). The purification process of HMW rIL-2 involved two chromatography steps and utilized a Bakerbond Carboxy-Sulfon (CS) column. Approximately 2 nmol each of rIL-2 and HMW rIL-2 were immobilized using ProSpin cartridges for C-terminal sequence analysis. 

Recombinant human TGF-a was provided by Dr. R. N. Harkins (Berlex Biosciences, Inc. Richmond, CA). The methods of expression, harvesting, refolding and purification have been previously described (5 and references therein). EGFR-ED was provided by Dr. Maureen O Connor-McCourt (Biotechnology Research Institute, Montreal, PQ). Expression and purification using this system has been described previously (5 and references therein). Desmopressin was synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis methods and was purified by reversed-phase HPLC (6). Pure bovine neurophysin-II (NP-II) was provided by Dr. Esther Breslow (Cornell University, Ithaca, NY). 

Recombinant human leptin was recently cloned (8) and expressed in E. coli, and demonstrated to effectively regulate adiposity in mice through modulation of appetite and metabolism (9, 10). The molecule contains four methionine residues at positions 1, 54, 68, and 136. In this paper, we report the separation and characterization of three norleucine-incorporated recombinant human leptins which were uniformly labeled with 15n isotope or double labeled with and isotopes. The extent of incorporation at each methionine residue can be determined by reverse-phase HPLC and amino acid analysis methods. The norleucine incorporation was observed preferentially occurring at the internal Met residues. 

Figure 2. Surface response curve showing the level of production of the contaminant P-2, predicted by a statistically designed experimental matrix, as the relative levels of cystine (mM in the initial feedstream pool) and cysteine (mM in the find diluted refold mixture) are varied. P-2 is determined by reversed-phase HPLC, and is expressed as area percent of the chromatogram.

The overall dependence of resolution and peak height on gradient conditions is similar for both ion-exchange and reversed-phase HPLC. Certain difierences arise for protein samples, however, as a re t of the smaller, less variable values of Z in ion exchmige versus values of in RnC. One mqjor contrast is in the resolving power of the two methods. In RPLC peak crq>acity can be expressed as (i9)... 

Despite the fact that, in some cases, small differences in AH and A5 can be observed (for various solutes, but on the same column with the same mobile phase), these differences could be found to be essentially insignificant when compared to a change in stationary-phase bonding density using enthalpy-entropy compensation. Enthalpy-entropy compensation is a term used to describe a compensation temperature, which is system independent for a class of similar experimental systems.Melander et have used the enthalpy-entropy compensation method in studies of hydrophobic interactions and separation mechanisms in reversed phase HPLC. Mathematically, enthalpy-entropy compensation can be expressed by the formula 9 ... 

The realization that 9-cis retinoic acid plays an important role in control of gene expression has stimulated the development of improved methods for its analysis. Cahnmann, after preparing 9-cis retinoic acid by photoisomerization, obtained complete resolution of 9-cis retinoic acid from al -trans retinoic acid by reversed-phase HPLC (Waters NovaPak C18 column, acetonitrile aqueous ammonium acetate mobile phase) (161). 

In both reversed-phase and hydrophobic interaction HPLC, the change in free energy, the equilibrium association constant Kassoc, and the retention behavior (expressed as the logarithm of the capacity factor k ) following an increase in concentration [Solvent]m or volume fraction i/fS0 vent of an organic solvent, or a decreasing concentration of a salt species [Salt]m in the mobile phase can be empirically evaluated from the following expressions ...
