Abstract
Protein adsorption to inner capillary walls creates a major obstacle in all applications of capillary electrophoresis involving protein samples. The problem is especially severe in kinetic capillary electrophoresis (KCE) techniques, which are used to study protein-ligand interactions at physiological conditions and, thus, cannot utilize extreme pH. A variety of coatings exist to reduce protein adsorption in CE, each expressing a unique surface chemistry that interacts with individual proteins differently. Here we introduce a simple pressure-based method for the qualitative assessment of protein adsorption that can facilitate the direct antiadhesive ranking of several coatings toward a protein of interest. In this approach, a short plug of the protein is injected into a capillary and propagated through with a pressure low enough to ensure adequate Taylor dispersion. The experiment is performed with a nonmodified commercial instrument in a pseudo-two-detector approach. The two detectors are mimicked by using two different distances from the capillary inlet to a single detector. If the peak area and shape do not change with changing distance, the protein does not adsorb appreciably, while a decreasing peak area with increasing distance infers inner surface adsorption. The magnitude change of the peak area between the two distances along with the overall peak shape is used to gauge the extent of protein adsorption. By using this method, we ranked antiadhesive properties of different wall chemistries for a series of proteins. The described method will be useful for optimizing protein analysis by CE and, in particular, for KCE experiments that investigate how proteins interact with their respective ligands.

Abstract
The physiological state of eukaryotic DNA is chromatin. Nucleosomes, which consist of DNA in complex with histones, are the fundamental unit of chromatin. The post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histones play a critical role in the control of gene transcription, epigenetics and other DNA-templated processes. It has been known for several years that these PTMs function in concert to allow for the storage and transduction of highly specific signals through combinations of modifications. This code, the combinatorial histone code, functions much like a bar code or combination lock providing the potential for massive information content. The capacity to directly measure these combinatorial histone codes has mostly been laborious and challenging, thus limiting efforts often to one or two samples. Recently, progress has been made in determining such information quickly, quantitatively and sensitively. Here we review both the historical and recent progress toward routine and rapid combinatorial histone code analysis.

Abstract
In this paper, a silicon chip-based electrospray emitter with a variable orifice size is presented. The device consists of two chips, with a thin beam elevating from the center of each of the chips. The chips are individually mounted to form an open gap of a narrow, uniform width between the top areas of the beams. The electrospray is generated at the endpoint of the gap, where the spray point is formed by the very sharp intersection between the crystal planes of the <100> silicon chips. Sample solution is applied to the rear end of the gap from a capillary via a liquid bridge, and capillary forces ensure a spontaneous imbibition of the gap. The sample solution is confined to the gap by means of a hydrophobic treatment of the surfaces surrounding the gap, as well as the geometrical boundaries formed by the edges of the gap walls. The gap width could be adjusted between 1 and 25 microm during electrospray experiments without suffering from any interruption of the electrospray process. Using a peptide sample solution, a shift toward higher charge states and increased signal-to-noise ratios was observed when the gap width was decreased. The limit of detection for the peptide insulin (chain B, oxidized) was approximately 4 nM. We also show a successful interfacing of the electrospray setup with capillary electrophoresis.

Abstract
For many years, histones were considered passive structural components of eukaryotic chromatin. Meanwhile it has been proven that histones also participate in gene regulation and repression via post-translational modification. The multitude of these post-translational modifications and the existence of numerous histone variants require particular separation strategies for their analysis, a prerequisite for studying biological processes. The most widely utilized techniques for the separation of histones, namely PAGE, HPCE, RP-HPLC, and hydrophilic Interaction LC, are reviewed here. Problems inherent to the analysis of histones owing to their unique physical and chemical properties along with advantages and shortcomings of particular methods are discussed.

Abstract
An efficient and rapid separation method based on reversed-polarity multiple-injection CZE (MICZE), has been developed for the quantification of buserelin in a pharmaceutical product. The determinations were performed by serially injecting five standard solutions of buserelin (50-300 microg/mL) and one reference analyte into a Polybrene-coated capillary. All the samples contained goserelin, an analog peptide to buserelin, as internal standard (IS). Immediately after pressure injection, the applied sample plugs were subjected to electrophoresis for 2 min at -25 kV. Consequently, each sample plug became isolated from its neighboring plugs by the BGE, composed of 100 mM phosphate-triethanolamine buffer at pH 3.0 containing 10% v/v ACN. During separation the individual sample components migrated at similar velocities and as distinct zones through the capillary giving 24 peaks, 12 from the analyte and the IS and 12 from the sample matrix. The buserelin content of the pharmaceutical product was determined to be 0.94 +/- 0.05 mg/mL, which is only a slight deviation from the declared concentration (1 mg/mL).

Abstract
Over the past 15 years, CE as an analytical tool has shown great promise in replacing many conventional clinical laboratory methods, such as electrophoresis and HPLC. CE's appeal was that it was fast, used very small amounts of sample and reagents, was extremely versatile, and was able to separate large and small analytes, whether neutral or charged. Because of this versatility, numerous methods have been developed for analytes that are of clinical interest. Other than molecular diagnostic and forensic laboratories CE has not been able to make a major impact in the United States. In contrast, in Europe and Japan an increasing number of clinical laboratories are using CE. Now that automated multicapillary instruments are commercially available along with cost-effective test kits, CE may yet be accepted as an instrument that will be routinely used in the clinical laboratories. This review will focus on areas where CE has the potential to have the greatest impact on the clinical laboratory. These include analyses of proteins found in serum and urine, hemoglobin (A1c and variants), carbohydrate-deficient transferrin, forensic and therapeutic drug screening, and molecular diagnostics.

Abstract
In this article, a series of ionene polymers were synthesized and used to coat fused-silica capillaries for the separation of recombinant and urinary human erythropoietin (rhEPO and uEPO) standards by CE. The influence of the charge density of coatings on the separation of rhEPO and uEPO glycoforms was investigated. Then, we further studied the method for fast separation and detection of rhEPO and uEPO standards by CE-ESI-MS. The influence of several CE and MS operating parameters, such as the concentration of CE running buffer, applied external pressure, and the composition and flow rate of sheath liquid on CE-ESI-MS was studied. The results demonstrated that when the capillary was permanently coated with 6,6-ionene and the pH value of acetic acid-ammonium acetate running buffer was 4.80 and 5.50, respectively, a significantly reproducible separation was achieved for rhEPO and uEPO glycoforms. In the online CE-ESI-MS experiments, we not only achieved the online MS signal of uEPO, but also obtained baseline separation of three major rhEPO glycoforms successfully and reproducibly on the 6,6-ionene-coated capillaries. Furthermore, the standard mixture of rhEPO and uEPO was separated, and two incompletely resolved peaks that were identified to be rhEPO and uEPO by the unique MS "fingerprint" were obtained. Additionally, the molecular weight of rhEPO and uEPO were verified and compared to the results by MALDI-TOF-MS. It can be concluded that, in contrast to other indirect methods, the online CE-ESI-MS technique with the combination of the advantages of both CE and MS shows great potential for the separation and detection of rhEPO doping directly in competitive sports.

Abstract
In capillary electrophoresis (CE), the anionic and hydrophobic nature of the fused-silica capillary surface has long been known to present a problem in protein and peptide analysis. The use of capillary surface coating is one of the approaches to avoid the analyte-wall interactions. In this study, a new polymer, poly-LA 313, has been synthesized, physico-chemical characterized, and applied as polyamine coating for CE separations. The coating process is highly reproducible and provides fast separations of peptides and proteins in a few minutes and with high efficiency. The physically adsorbed polymer gives rise to a durable coating in the range of pH 2-10, in the presence of organic modifiers (acetonitrile and methanol) and with complex biological samples. The efficiency of the new cationic polymer was also tested performing protein and peptide separations with capillary electrophoresis-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (CE-ESI-MS).

Abstract
Capillary zone electrophoretic (CZE) separations and mass spectrometric analysis of salmon calcitonin and related analogues were performed to generate electrophoresis and mass fingerprints for quality control of the recombinant polypeptide pharmaceutical salmon calcitonin. The calcitonins and their corresponding tryptic digests were successfully separated by CZE at low pH in fused silica capillaries dynamically modified with poly-cationic polymers. The poly-cationic modified inner surface of the fused silica capillaries generated a strong anionic electroosmotic flow (EOF). Analytes of negative, neutral, and positive charge were all swept through the capillary toward the positive electrode. Compared to Polybrene-coated capillaries, capillaries coated with PEI showed a markedly slower but much more stable electroosmotic flow. The migration order of the analytes was predicted by comparing approximate values of the charge to (molecular mass)2/3 ratios. The predicted migration order was confirmed by off-line analysis of CZE fractions with matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS).

Abstract
A novel positively charged polymer of quaternary ammonium substituted agarose (Q-agarose) has been synthesized and explored for use as a coating in capillary electrophoresis. The fast and simple coating procedure is based on a multi-site electrostatic interaction between the polycationic agarose polymer and the negatively charged fused-silica surface. By simply flushing fused-silica capillaries with hot polymer solution a positively charged, hydrophilic deactivation layer is achieved. The polymer surface provides an intermediate electroosmotic flow of reversed direction, over a range of pH 2-11, compared to unmodified fused-silica. The coating procedure was highly reproducible with an RSD of 4%, evaluated as the electroosmotic flow mobility for 30 capillaries prepared at 10 different occasions. The application of Q-agarose coated capillaries in separation science was investigated using a set of basic drugs and model proteins and peptides. Due to the intermediate electroosmotic flow generated, the resolution of basic drugs could be increased, compared to using bare fused-silica capillaries. Moreover, the coating enabled separation of proteins and peptides with efficiencies up to 300.000 plates m(-1).

Abstract
The separation of the glycoforms of erythropoietin (EPO) by capillary electrophoresis (CE) was recently published as a monograph by the European Pharmacopoeia (European Pharmacopoeia 4 2002, 1316, 1123-1128). Although the experimental CE conditions employed a background electrolyte containing additives suitable for on-line UV-absorption detection, they were not appropriate for on-line mass spectrometry (MS) detection. In this work, an attempt was made to investigate experimental conditions employing volatile electrolyte systems to achieve the separation and characterization of EPO glycoforms using CE and ESI-MS methodologies. The influence of several operating conditions, such as the coating of the internal walls of the capillary as well as the composition, concentration, and the pH of the separation buffer were investigated. The results demonstrated that when the internal walls of the capillaries were permanently coated with Polybrene and a buffer electrolyte containing 400 mM of HAc-NH4Ac (acetic acid-ammonium acetate), pH 4.75, was used, a significantly reproducible separation was achieved for EPO glycoforms. Intact EPO was characterized by two mass spectrometry techniques: electrospray ionization (ESI-MS) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF-MS). The data demonstrated that MALDI-TOF-MS provided a good approximation to an average molecular mass of the EPO molecule. However, it was still necessary to carry out further separation of the intact EPO glycoforms in order to obtain molecular mass information when ESI-MS was used.

Abstract
Two fused-silica capillaries of considerably different inner diameter (75 and 10 microm) were used for the separation of a set of five standard proteins. The separations were run in acid pH (50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 2.5). Generally better separations (with minor tailing only) were obtained using a standard capillary [27 cm (20 cm effective length)x 75 microm I.D.] in comparison with a narrow bore capillary [27 cm (20 cm effective length)x 10 microm I.D.]. The conditions of the electrophoretic separation were the same for both types of capillaries (25 degrees C; 10 kV; positive polarity at the inlet). The sequence of the proteins was cytochrome c, albumin, transferrin followed by a partly resolved peak of catalase and chymotrypsinogen A. In the narrow bore capillary severe tailing was observed--tailing factor ranged from 2.11 to 5.54 or 1.67 to 2.53 depending on the concentration of the analytes injected (2 or 0.2 mg/ml of each test compound injected). The relative [delta(deltaG(0))] values of the interaction with the capillary wall in the small bore capillary (with cytochrome c taken as initial standard) ranged from -0.74 to -1.04 kJ/mol. The problem of assaying the speed of the endoosmotic flow (EOF) in both capillary types was thoroughly investigated using thiourea and dithiothreitol as EOF markers. It was revealed that if thiourea is used as the EOF marker, the obtained value was dependent on the concentration of the marker injected. Optimum conditions for the EOF determination in acid buffer were specified. The higher speed of the EOF in the narrow bore capillary (10 microm) as compared to the 75 microm I.D. capillary is discussed.

Abstract
Coating the interior surface of a fused-silica capillary with a polymeric material has long been used in capillary electrophoresis (CE) to reduce or eliminate electroosmotic flow and suppress adsorption. A cycloaliphatic epoxide-based resin was bonded to silane treated capillaries and crosslinked with a curing agent. The epoxy resin coating significantly reduced electroosmotic flow over a pH range of 3-10. This coating was sufficiently hydrophilic to suppress protein adsorption. The epoxy resin coated capillary was used to separate several acidic and basic proteins and peptides. Separation efficiencies greater than 400,000 theoretical plates were achieved. The relative standard deviations in migration times for proteins were <0.8%. Speed and simplicity are important advantages of the coating procedure compared to other published coating methods.

The characterization of high-mannose-type N-glycosylation by capillary electrophoresis-electrospray mass spectrometry (CE-ESI MS) was described. In addition to the use of a cationic noncovalent capillary coating, strong acidic buffer, and charge reversal to increase the glycoform resolving power, N-glycosidase F (PNGase F) combined with a basic protease and alpha-mannosidase combined with an acidic protease were used to analyze the high-mannose-type N-glycosylation in ribonuclease B (RNase B) and in a novel C-type lectin from the venom of Trimeresurus stejnegeri (TSL). The structures of oligosaccharide, glycosylation sites, and glycoform distributions were determined simultaneously, and the differential oxidation of Met residues in glycopeptides obtained from TSL protease digestion was also characterized successfully by CE-MS/MS. The results showed that the oligosaccharide attached to RNase B has a structure of GlcNAc2Man5 approximately 9, and that attached to TSL has a structure of GlcNAc2Min5 approximately 8. The glycoform distributions in these glycoproteins are quite different, with the GlcNAc2Man5 type predominant in RNase B, and the GlcNAc2Man8 type, in TSL This method may be useful not only for the characterization of glycosylation sites and glycan structures, but also for the determination of the relative abundance of individual glycoforms.

Abstract
A fast method for the generation of permanent hydrophilic capillary coatings for capillary electrophoresis (CE) is presented. Such interior coating is effected by treating the surface to be coated with a solution of glutaraldehyde as cross-linking agent followed by a solution of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which results in an immobilization of the polymer on the capillary surface. Applied for capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) such capillaries coated with cross-linked PVA exhibit excellent separation performance of adsorptive analytes like basic proteins due to the reduction of analyte-wall interactions. The long-term stability of cross-linked PVA coatings could be proved in very long series of CZE separations. More than 1000 repetitive CE separations of basic proteins were performed with stable absolute migration times relative standard deviation (RSD > 1.2%) and without loss of separation efficiency. Cross-linked PVA coatings exhibit a suppressed electroosmotic flow and excellent stability over a wide pH range.

Abstract
A new, rugged nebulizer interface was designed to couple a capillary electrophoretic system to a gas-phase nitrogen chemiluminescence detector. By hydraulically decoupling the separation capillary from the nebulizer of the gas-phase nitrogen chemiluminescence detector, the interface-related loss of separation efficiency could be limited to a mere 10%. The ozone reaction chamber of the gas-phase nitrogen chemiluminescence detector has been redesigned leading to a threefold improvement in detection sensitivity over the old design. In combination with a field-amplified sample stacking procedure, the new system was used to detect 0.25 ppm concentrations of UV chromophore-free aminoglycosides.

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the current status of chiral capillary electrophoresis (CE). The emphasis is placed on the application of CE in chiral separation of various racemic compounds. During the last two years about 280 papers, several review articles, and two entire issues, edited by S. Fanali (Electrophoresis 1999, 20, 2577-2798, and H. Nishi and S. Terabe (J. Chromatogr. A 2000, 879, 1-471.) have been devoted to chiral CE. Enantiomeric separations of various compounds, e.g., pharmaceuticals, drug candidates, drugs and related metabolites in biological fluids, amino acids, di- and tri peptides, pesticides and fungicides, have been performed using different chiral selectors. Native and derivatized cyclodextrins continue to be the most widely used chiral selectors. Other chiral selectors such as natural and synthetic chiral micelles, crown ethers, chiral ligands, proteins, oligo- and polysaccharides, and macrocyclic antibiotics have also been applied to chiral CE separations.

Abstract
A novel method is here reported for the analysis of mixture of proteins with pI ranging from pH 3-9.5 in an ample pH interval (pH 2.5-9.0) without adsorption onto the naked silica wall. It consists of treating the capillary surface at alkaline pH, typically 9.0, with small amounts (2-4 mM) of a quaternarized piperazine derivative: (N-methyl-N-omega-iodobutyl)-N'-methylpiperazine (Q-PzI). It appears that this compound is able to dock onto the wall via trifunctional links: a salt bridge via the quaternary nitrogen, a hydrogen bond via the tertiary nitrogen, and finally, a covalent link via the terminal iodine in the butyl chain and a neighboring ionized silanol. This last reaction seems to be completed in a few minutes of incubation of the capillary at room temperature. Because the compound is permanently affixed to the wall, its presence is not needed during protein/peptide separations. By properly dosing the level of Q-PzI in the preconditioning step, it is possible to strongly reduce the electroendoosmotic flow (EOF), zero it, or reverse it. Unlike dynamic coatings with oligoamines, which are most effective only at acidic pH values and are required as additives during separations, Q-PzI is effective in an ample pH interval (pH 2.5-9.0) and is not needed during the CZE analysis. A broad pI (pH 3-10) protein mix can be separated according to protein mobility in free phase, suggesting a strong modulating capacity of the functionalized wall. The same separation is not obtained in capillaries permanently coated with neutral, hydrophilic polymers (such as polyacrylamide), even if the quality of a single protein/peptide profile in Q-PzI-conditioned capillaries is equivalent to those obtained in capillaries permanently coated. Although there is strong indirect evidence of the ability of Q-PzI to alkylate the silica wall, to which it is then irreversibly bound, such an alkylation event does not occur with proteins on potentially reacting sites, such as the free -SH of Cys or the -OH group of Tyr, as demonstrated by incubating them overnight in a large molar excess at strongly alkaline pH values and analyzing such proteins by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a high-resolution technique for the separation of a wide variety of molecules of biological interest such as metabolites, drugs, amino acids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. This unit focuses on the use of CE to separate proteins and peptides. As detailed here, CE can also be used to determine the isoelectric point of a protein, either in purified form or in a mixture, by focusing the sample in a pH gradient that is generated within the capillary during electrophoresis. In addition, CE can be used as a micropreparative technique, with either multiple separations that are pooled or a single, larger-scale separation, for the isolation of peptides from a protease digestion (in much the same way that RP-HPLC is currently used). In most of these examples the same capillary column can be used for all the separations. Only changes in buffer composition, ionic strength, and the presence or absence of additives are required for each specific application.

Abstract
Existing methods for the analysis of histone H1 by capillary electrophoresis (CE) employ acidic buffers (pH <3.0) to suppress silanol ionization and minimize the loss of these extremely basic proteins by adsorption to capillary walls. Here we describe the use of Polybrene (PB) as a dynamic modification reagent in a simple procedure that facilitates the analysis of chicken H1 at neutral pH. PB is adsorbed to the inner surfaces of capillaries to render them cationic prior to use and a low concentration of PB is included in the electrolyte to replenish the coating during use. Inclusion of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) in the electrolyte results in the assembly of a dynamic cation-exchange layer upon the immobilized PB that influences the relative mobilities of H1 variants. The six nonallelic variants of H1 known in this species as well as certain allelic variants are resolved. Because the procedure is effective in preventing the adsorption of proteins as basic as H1 at neutral pH, this strategy should facilitate CE analyses of many basic proteins under conditions that maintain their native conformation.

Abstract
Transferrin sialoforms with fewer than three sialic acid residues (carbohydrate deficient transferrin; CDT) have been implicated as a marker of certain liver pathologies. Transferrin sialoforms in human sera from alcoholic and non-alcoholic patients was analyzed by capillary electrophoresis (CE) using diaminobutane (DAB) to dynamically-coat the capillary wall to minimize protein-wall interactions. Using a DAB concentration of 3 mM, transferrin sialoforms were adequately resolved to allow for direct detection of CDT without extensive treatment of the sera. Serum immunoglobulins, which migrated close to the CDT region, were removed via subtraction with protein A, enhancing the detection of CDT. The reproducibility of sialoform separation in dynamically-coated capillaries was found to be acceptable with run-to-run relative standard deviation values of 0.15% for a sample on a given day and 0.29+/-0.06% for four samples day-to-day. These results suggest that dynamic-coating approaches may provide a simple alternative to the use of covalently-coated capillaries for the CE separation of complex samples.

Abstract
Perfect control of electroosmotic flow (EOF) was achieved by dovetailing successive multiple ionic-polymer layer (SMIL) coated capillaries. The direction and magnitude of the EOF was perfectly controllable over the pH range 2-13. Zone diffusion was not observed, even if the inner wall of the dovetailed capillary was discontinuous, or if the sample zone passed through the connected part of the capillary because the RSDs of migration time, theoretical plates, symmetry factor and S/N of the marker were almost the same when seamless capillary and dovetailed capillary were compared. The dovetailed capillary was applied to cyclodextrin modified capillary zone electrophoresis. The control of the EOF enabled us to control both the resolution and the migration order of the enantiomers. The migration time was also controllable and, therefore, the best condition between separation and migration time could be determined by controlling the EOF. Partial filling affinity electrokinetic chromatography with a protein used as a chiral selector was also studied. The migration of the pseudostationary phase was controllable by EOF, and detection of the solute at 214 nm was possible. Therefore, the EOF-controlled dovetailed capillary has great potential to expand the application of the separation technique.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled to electrospray mass spectrometry via sheathless interfacing has been applied to the analysis of mammalian metallothionein (MT) extracts. In a rabbit-liver extract, four (MT-2C, MT-2A, MT-2D and MT-2E) out of six known MT sub-isoforms were unambiguously identified under three CE-resolved peaks. A fourth peak was found to contain MT-1A and/or MT-2B, whose molecular masses differ by only 1 Da. Traces of non-N-acetylated MT-2D and MT-2E were observed in a fifth, minor peak. In a rat-liver extract, both MT-1 and MT-2 were resolved and identified. Non-N-acetylated MT-2 was also identified in a resolved, minor peak. Minimum detectable amounts of MTs have been estimated to be approximately 0.6 fmol per sub-isoform.

Abstract
This review is in support of the development of selective, reproducible and validated capillary electrophoretis (CE) methods. Focusing on pharmaceutical and biological applications, the successful use of CE is demonstrated by more than 800 references, mainly from 1994 until 1998. Approximately 80 recent reviews have been catalogued. These articles sum up the existing strategies for method development in CE, especially in the search for generally accepted concepts, but also looking for new, promising reagents and ideas. General strategies for method development were derived not only with regard to selectivity and efficiency, but also with regard to precision, short analysis time, limit of detection, sample pretreatment requirements and validation. Standard buffer recipes, surfactants used in micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC), chiral selectors, useful buffer additives, polymeric separation media, electroosmotic flow (EOF) modifiers, dynamic and permanent coatings, actions to deal with complex matrices and aspects of validation are collected in 20 tables. Detailed schemes for the development of MEKC methods and chiral separations, for optimizing separation efficiency, means of troubleshooting, and other important information for key decisions during method development are given in 19 diagrams. Method development for peptide and protein separations, possibilities to influence the EOF and how to stabilize it, as well as indirect detection are considered in special sections.

Abstract
Reversed-charge capillary zone electrophoresis (RC-CZE) has been developed as a clipping (proteolysis) assay for homodimeric protein recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF-BB), a major serum mitogenic factor involved in subcutaneous wound healing. When expressed in yeast, the protein is excreted as a fully folded homodimeric protein consisting of two antiparallel B chains held together by two interchain disulfide bonds. During fermentation, internal proteolysis (clipping between residues Arg32 and Thr33) and C-terminal truncation (Arg32 and Thr109) may occur. Internal proteolysis yields three potential forms of rhPDGF-BB: intact (both B chains are intact), single-clipped (one B chain is clipped), and double-clipped (both B chains are clipped). Clipping also creates new C-terminal sites for further C-terminal truncations and leads to a very complex mixture of isoforms. Routine baseline resolution of these three forms by various modes of HPLC proved unsuccessful. When the disulfide bonds of antiparallel chains are reduced, the complex peptide mixture can be analyzed by RP-HPLC; however, only the level of total clipping is identified. Since RC-CZE separation relies upon differences in molecular charge/size ratio, it can resolve the three rhPDGF-BB forms differing in the additional exposed residues. The choice of reversed-charge CZE columns (amine-coated column) allows proteins of high pI such as rhPDGF-BB (pI > 10) to be readily analyzed while minimizing protein loss from column adsorption. To simplify the electropherogram of clipped forms, the sample is treated first with carboxypeptidase B to reduce the charge microheterogeneity of partial Arg32 truncation. Analysis of rhPDGF-BB by RC-CZE yields a baseline separation between the three forms, intact and single- and double-clipped rhPDGF-BB.

Abstract
Sequence analysis of antigenic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I peptides requires minimizing sample loss and enhancing mass spectrometric sensitivity. In order to facilitate such analyses, we have coupled on-line membrane preconcentration-capillary electrophoresis (mPC-CE) with microspray mass spectrometry (mPC-CE-microMS) and tandem mass spectrometry (mPC-CE-microMS/MS). Specifically, cell lysate from approximately 10(9) EG-7 mouse tumor cells was immunoprecipitated and the released MHC class I peptides were subjected to reverse-phase HPLC. An HPLC fraction containing antigenic peptide(s) shown to induce T-cell stimulation was subjected to mPC-CE-microMS. Approximately 10 microL (from 100 microL) of the fraction was pressure-injected and concentrated on a styrenedivinylbenzene (SDB) impregnated membrane. The peptides were eluted from the membrane with approximately 100 nL of 80% methanol, sandwiched between a leading stacking buffer (LSB, also serving as CE separation medium) of approximately 110 nL of 0.1% acetic acid in 10% methanol, and a trailing stacking buffer (TSB) of approximately 110 nL of 0.1% NH4OH. On application of the CE voltage the peptides are subjected to moving boundary transient isotachophoresis and focused. The peptides were separated in a Polybrene-coated capillary with application of -20 kV in reverse polarity mode and subsequently sprayed via an emitter coupled to the CE capillary by a liquid junction containing a platinum wire. An ion at m/z 482.3 was detected and subjected to mPC-CE-microMS/MS and determined to be SIINFEKL, a peptide (OVA) known to be antigenic in the mouse model system. Sensitivity enhancement over conventional mPC-CE-MS and MS/MS was approximately 100-fold.

Abstract
Both cationic and anionic polymeric additives were used for the capillary electrophoretic separation of proteins in food samples. The cationic polyelectrolyte polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride was more effective in minimizing protein-wall interactions at pH 3 than at pH 7, presumably due to greater repulsion between the adsorbed polymer and proteins. Improved resolution was observed in the presence of the co-additive sodium octanesulphonate, presumably due to ion-pairing interactions with protein sample components. The anionic polymer dextran sulfate produced relatively high efficiencies, 120,000-180,000 theoretical plates, for protein separation, presumably because the polymer adsorbed to the capillary wall, rendering the surface more hydrophilic. In addition to reduced protein-wall interactions, improved resolution was observed, presumably due to analyte-polymer ion-exchange/ion-pairing interactions. When poly(vinyl sulphonic acid) was used instead of dextran sulfate, broader profiles were obtained and fewer components were resolved, presumably due to reduced wall deactivation that is related to the lower hydrophilicity of poly(vinyl sulphonic acid).

Abstract
Cereal grains are widely used of human foods and animal feed throughout the world. Cereals provide dietary protein, which also often has a functional role, as wheat gluten does in bread. Cereal proteins are unique in many ways: they are highly complex and heterogeneous, are often difficult to extract, and aggregate readily, making them difficult to characterize. Because of the economic importance and widespread use of cereal proteins, however, many techniques have been used for their analysis. High-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) is one of the newest techniques to be so used. This review describes the development of charge- and size-based HPCE methods for analysis of cereal grain proteins, and the use of these methods for cultivar identification, classification, and prediction of quality. HPCE is versatile, rapid, easily automated, readily quantified, and provides high-resolution separations. Clearly, HPCE is a valuable addition to other methods of cereal protein analysis and should, in time, be applicable to all protein classes from all cereals.

Abstract
High-resolution capillary electrophoretic separation of proteins and peptides was achieved by coating the inner wall of 75 microm ID fused-silica capillaries with 40-140 nm polystyrene particles which have been derivatized with alpha-omega-diamines such as ethylenediamine or 1,10-diaminodecane. A stable and irreversibly adsorbed coating was obtained upon deprotonation of the capillary surface with aqueous sodium hydroxide and subsequent flushing with a suspension of the positively charged particles. At pH 3.1, the detrimental adsorption of proteins to the capillary inner wall was suppressed efficiently because of electrostatic repulsion of the positively charged proteins from the positively charged coating which enabled protein separations with maximum efficiencies of 400000 plates per meter. A substantial improvement of separation efficiency in particle-coated capillaries was observed after in-column derivatization of amino functionalities with 2,3-epoxy-l-propanol, resulting in a more hydrophilic coating. Five basic and four acidic proteins could be separated in less than 7 min with efficiencies up to 1900000 theoretical plates per meter. Finally, coated capillaries were applied to the high-resolution analysis of protein glycoforms and bioactive peptides.
