Cationic Form (cationic + form)
Selected AbstractsSeparation of twenty underivatized essential amino acids by capillary zone electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detectionELECTROPHORESIS, Issue 4 2003Pavel Coufal Abstract Twenty underivatized essential amino acids were separated using capillary zone electrophoresis and consequently detected with contactless conductivity detection (CCD). A simple acidic background electrolyte (BGE) containing 2.3 M acetic acid and 0.1% w/w hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) allowed the electrophoretic separation and sensitive detection of all 20 essential amino acids in their underivatized cationic form. The addition of HEC to the BGE suppressed both, electroosmotic flow and analyte adsorption on the capillary surface resulting in an excellent migration time reproducibility and a very good analyte peak symmetry. Additionally, the HEC addition significantly reduced the noise and long-term fluctuations of the CCD baseline. The optimized electrophoretic separation method together with the CCD was proved to be a powerful technique for determination of amino acid profiles in various natural samples, like beer, yeast, urine, saliva, and herb extracts.

It was shown that the distribution ratios of phenylalanine generally increased with increasing aqueous pH (2,5) in the D2EHPA concentration range 0.1,0.5 mol dm,3, but those of aspartic acid decreased with increasing solution pH. Different reaction stoichiometries were proposed for the extraction of phenylalanine and aspartic acid under the conditions studied. The extraction equilibrium constants were obtained. Competitive extraction in binary systems was more apparent in the pH range where the cationic form of amino acids was not predominant. The present results indicated that selective separation of phenylalanine to aspartic acid was possible with this cationic extractant when they were extracted at higher pH and stripped using higher acidity of HCl solution.

Abushoffa Abstract Aminoglutethimide (AGT) is one of the few examples of chiral drugs that can be enantioseparated by capillary electrophoresis using any of the three native cyclodextrins: ,-, ,-, or ,-CD. A complete resolution of the enantiomers of this compound in cationic form could be achieved with each of the three CDs, using a pH 3 phosphoric acid-triethanolamine buffer. Affinity constants for AGT enantiomers with the three native CDs were determined, confirming that the highest selectivity was given by ,-CD while the strongest complexation was obtained with ,-CD. However, an opposite affinity pattern was observed with the latter. Selectivity was lower for AGT enantiomers in dual CD systems, compared to that obtained with a single selector at its optimal concentration, which confirms that dual systems are of more limited interest when the two selectors have a similar effect on the analyte mobility. These results are in good agreement with those predicted using recently developed mathematical models. [source] Determination of cationic mobilities and pKa values of 22 amino acids by capillary zone electrophoresisELECTROPHORESIS, Issue 2 2004eláková, ina V Abstract The effective mobilities of the cationic forms of common amino acids , mostly proteinogenic , were determined by capillary zone electrophoresis in acidic background electrolytes at pH between 2.0 and 3.2. The underivatized amino acids were detected by the double contactless conductivity detector. Experimentally measured effective mobilities were fitted with the suitable regression functions in dependence on pH of the background electrolyte. The parameters of the given regression function corresponded to the values of the actual mobilities and the mixed dissociation constants (combining activities and concentrations) of the compound related to the actual ionic strength. McInnes approximation and Onsager theory were used to obtain thermodynamic dissociation constants (pKa) and limiting (absolute) ionic mobilities. [source] | ||||||||||
