Abstract

A comprehensive two-dimensional (2-D) separation system, coupling capillary reverse-phase liquid chromatography (cRPLC) to capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF), is described for protein and peptide mapping. cRPLC, the first dimension, provided high-resolution separations for salt-free proteins. CIEF, the second dimension with an orthogonal mechanism to cRPLC afforded excellent resolution capability for proteins with efficient protein enrichment. Since all sample fractions in cRPLC effluents could be transferred to the CIEF dimensions, the combination of the two high-efficiency separations resulted in maximal separation capabilities of each dimension. Separation effectiveness of this approach was demonstrated using complex protein/peptide samples, such as yeast cytosol and a BSA tryptic digest. A peak capacity of more than 10 000 had been achieved. A laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detector, developed for this system, allowed for high-sensitive detection, with a fmol level of peptide detection for the BSA digest. FITC and BODIPY maleimide were used to tag the proteins, and the latter was found better both for separation and detection in our 2-D system.

Water adducts of BX(3) and CX(3)(+): implications for structure, bonding, and reactivity.

Good quality ab initio calculations (MP2) show that the water adducts of BX(3) and CX(3)(+) have totally different structures (X = F-I). While all H(2)O-BX(3) complexes have classical C(s) symmetric structures with strong B-O bonds and additional H-bonding, the heavier CX(3)(+) cations (X = Cl-I) form weakly bonded "non-classical" water adducts that maximize C-X pi-bonding rather than C-O sigma-bonding. The delocalization of the positive charge as the driving force for pi-bond formation is absent in BX(3), and therefore, pi-bonding is only weak and not structure determining in H(2)O-BX(3). Since the PES of all H(2)O --> EX(3)(0/+1) particles (E = B, C) is very flat, flexible basis sets (like TZVPP) are required to rigorously characterize the adducts. In earlier calculations (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 6648), classical structures were reported for all H(2)O --> EX(3)(0/+1) (E = B, C) complexes, likely resulting from the insufficient quality of the basis sets employed. By introducing a positive charge to three coordinate boron-halogen cations Do --> BX(2)(+) (Do = NH(3), OH(2), X-H), also the B-X bonds shrink due to the stronger pi-bonding induced by the positive charge delocalization and if compared to the respective neutral compounds like H(2)N-BX(2) or BX(3). The "non-classical" water adducts also suggest that the mechanism of organic reactions involving carbenium ion intermediates with alpha-bromine or -iodine substituents and a nucleophile may proceed through halogen- rather than carbon coordination.

Synthesis of novel fluorescent-labelled dinucleoside polyphosphates.

A novel tandem synthetic-biosynthetic procedure is described for the synthesis of four new fluorescent dinucleoside polyphosphates: mant-Ap4A, mant-AppCH2ppA, TNP-Ap4A and TNP-AppCH2ppA. These compounds are expected to supplement the existing etheno (epsilon) and 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) labelled derivatives, being the fluorescent probes of choice to investigate polyphosphate/enzyme binding behaviour.

Copper-mediated, palladium-catalyzed coupling of thiol esters with aliphatic organoboron reagents.

Thiol esters and B-alkyl-9-BBN derivatives couple in the presence of a copper(I) carboxylate mediator and a palladium catalyst. In contrast to copper-mediated, palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings of thioorganics with boronic acids, the current coupling reaction of 9-BBN derivatives is facilitated by the addition of a base such as Cs(2)CO(3). Under optimized conditions, a variety of thiol esters react with different B-alkyl-9-BBN derivatives giving ketones in moderate to excellent yields.
