Computer assisted development of a pneumatic electrospray nebulizer
Járvás, G. ; Szigeti, M. ; Grym, Jakub ; Foret, František ; Guttman, A.
In this study we demonstrate how computer simulations can assist the development of a novel microfabricated pneumatic electrospray nebulizer. The microdevice under consideration is designed for electrospray mass spectrometry interfacing without the need to fabricate an electrospray needle. This new interfacing strategy requires comprehensive evaluation of the differently designed chip layouts. The flow evaluation was supported by computational fluid dynamics simulations. It was proved with experimental validation of the simulation results that the developed models were practical tools for the numerical investigation of the separations-ESI-MS coupling.

Oriented immobilization of PNgase F on a porous polymer monolith for rapid N-glycan release
Szekrényes, A. ; Křenková, Jana ; Keresztessy, Z. ; Foret, František ; Guttman, A.
We demonstrate a simple and rapid method for the oriented immobilization of peptide-N4-(Nacetyl- glucosaminyl) asparagine amidase F (PNGase F) on a porous polymer monolith. The oriented immobilization is based on the affinity of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) tagged PNGase F towards glutathione modified monolith prepared in the capillary format. This approach allows the oriented and easily replaceable immobilization of PNGase F for rapid and efficient release of N-linked glycans. The reactor was tested by deglycosylation of several native glycoproteins such as ribonuclease B, fetuin or human immunoglobulin G. The proteins were effectively deglycosylated in several minutes and the released N-linked glycans were analyzed using off-line MALDI/MS or CE/LIF.
