Abstract

Recent developments in the use of capillary electrophoretic techniques for the in-line study of enzyme reactions and derivatization protocols are reviewed. The article is divided into two parts: (i) in-line enzyme reactions and (ii) in-line derivatization. The first part introduces electrophoretically mediated microanalysis (EMMA) and discusses and illustrates the different modes of EMMA. A literature overview is provided, starting from 1996, and the investigated enzymes are classified into two tables based on the mode of engagement (i.e., continuous or transient) of the developed EMMA-based assay. The second part starts with an introduction of the procedures and the nomenclature used in the area of in-line derivatization protocols based on EMMA. Reported derivatization procedures are discussed and classified in tables, according to the functional group that is derivatized.

A novel relationship between time offsets in capillary electrophoresis and DNA sequence variations in short tandem repeats.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) provides increased discriminatory power in forensic DNA analysis due to the detection of isoalleles. Differences in sequences between alleles allow for a second layer of differentiation between DNA contributors beyond the number of short tandem repeat (STR) repeat units. However, because NGS is a more time and resource-intensive analysis than conventional capillary electrophoresis (CE), laboratories may benefit from indicators that suggest NGS is likely to provide added value. This study examined whether CE migration offsets, measured as residuals in the OSIRIS analysis software, can differ significantly among STR isoalleles. Residuals represent the time offset between a sample allele peak and its corresponding allelic ladder peak. Paired CE and NGS data from 95 single source samples were analyzed for CE-based residual differences, as the NGS data provided the sequence information of the corresponding isoalleles. Residual values differed significantly among isoalleles at several STR loci. Statistically significant differences were identified at D16S539 and D3S1358, as well as at specific allele lengths within D12S391, D13S317, and D8S1179. These findings demonstrate that CE residual variation can reflect underlying STR sequence differences between contributors. In practice, residual-based metrics could help laboratories to identify casework reference samples where NGS is likely to provide additional discrimination, without the need for processing outside of a routine CE workflow. Due to the potentially large number of isoalleles, community wide efforts to aggregate CE residual differences versus isoallele sequences may be useful in the validation and implementation of this approach to add value to forensic DNA analyses.

Rapid identification of Helicobacter pylori by capillary electrophoresis: an overview.

Helicobacter pylori can cause gastritis and peptic ulcers and is directly associated with the development of gastric cancer. There are many types of diagnostic methods used to identification H. pylori (invasive and non-invasive), but these methods usually require time-consuming and laborious procedures and therefore are not capable of fast diagnosis in cases of emergency. This contribution describes the new achievements, interdisciplinary significance and some future directions in the application of capillary electrophoresis for determination of H. pylori.

LIF detection of peptides and proteins in CE.

CE- and microchip-based separations coupled with LIF are powerful tools for the separation, detection and determination of biomolecules. CE with certain configurations has the potential to detect a small number of molecules or even a single molecule, thanks to the high spatial coherence of the laser source which permits the excitation of very small sample volumes with high efficiency. This review article discusses the use of LIF detection for the analysis of peptides and proteins in CE. The most common laser sources, basic instrumentation, derivatization modes and set-ups are briefly presented and special attention is paid to the different fluorogenic agents used for pre-, on- and postcapillary derivatization of the functional groups of these compounds. A table summarizing major applications of these derivatization reactions to the analysis of peptides and proteins in CE-LIF and a bibliography with 184 references are provided which covers papers published to the end of 2005.
