Mobility Shift Affinity Capillary Electrophoresis: A Method to Analyze Sample-Ligand Interactions Depending on Differential Migration of Protein-Ligand Complexes
Transcripción
After preparing the method for the measurements without ligands, prepare the method for the measurements with ligands, by first using 0.1 molar EDTA solution to rinse the capillary at 2.5 bar for 1 minute. Then, use deionized water to rinse the capillary. Next, equilibrate the capillary by using ligand solution to rinse it at 2.5 bar for 1.5 minutes.
Then, inject the acetanilide solution at 0.05 bar for 6 seconds, and change the inlet and outlet vials to the ligand-containing buffer vials. Apply 0.05 bar for 2.4 seconds, in order to push the acetanilide solution further in from the tip of the capillary. Apply 10.0 kilovolts for 6 minutes, and detect the acetanilide peak at a wavelength of 200 nanometers.
After rinsing the capillary with EDTA, deionized water, and the ligand solution as before, inject the protein sample, and change the inlet and outlet vials to fresh ligand-containing buffer vials. Ultimately, repeat taking measurements with and without ligands.
