System peaks in elektromigration systems with complexing agents
Dvořák, Martin ; Gaš, Bohuslav (advisor) ; Coufal, Pavel (referee)
Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) is a widely used analytical method. CZE is described theoretically very well and there are many simulation programs, which enable one to predict results of electrophoretic separations, and alternatively to study phenomena taking place during the electrophoretic separation in detail. The CZE method is not only an analytical method, but is often used for determination of many physical parameters of compounds, such as stability constants or complex mobilities. Among methods most often used for determination of complexation parameters belongs the affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE). Its alternative is the vacancy affinity capillary electrophoresis (VACE). Whereas by the ACE method the stability constant is determined from the dependence of the analyte effiective electrophoretic mobility on the background electrolyte (BGE) composition, in the case of the VACE system peaks are used for this purpose. In this work the legitimacy of using system peaks in the VACE method for determination of stability constants was investigated. Several approaches dealing with the concentrating of complexing agent in the peak area were compared, both for the ACE and the VACE method. Two different kinds of electrophoretic systems were studied. In the first one, neutral cyclodextrin was used as...

Influence of the interacting constituent of the background electrolyte on electrophoretic separation
Müllerová, Ludmila ; Dubský, Pavel (advisor) ; Kašička, Václav (referee) ; Petr, Jan (referee)
Capillary electrophoresis is a widely used separation method of analytical chemistry. Addition of a selector into the background electrolyte extends its applicability to separation of enantiomers or of compounds of similar physicochemical properties. In analytical practice, mixtures of selectors are also commonly used - either prepared intentionally to achieve better separation or because commercially available selectors may be mixtures of compounds differing in the degree of substitution and substituent positions. Mathematical description of these systems, which are highly relevant in analytical practice, can simplify search for optimal separation conditions. Also, it provides a useful insight into the separation mechanism. In this work, a model of electromigration of an analyte interacting with a mixture of two selectors is proposed and experimentally verified. This model results from a more general description of systems with an arbitrary number of selectors. The model shows that a selector mixture can be treated as a single selector if the ratio of the respective selector concentrations is kept constant. When the mixture is prepared intentionally, this description predicts, how separation potential of the mixture changes with its composition. Thus it allows the optimal composition and total...

Application of advanced models of electromigration by means of computer software
Malý, Michal ; Dubský, Pavel (advisor) ; Petr, Jan (referee) ; Thormann, Wolfgang (referee)
Motion of ions under the influence of electric field has been a subject of scientific interest for many decades. Capillary electrophoresis in particular benefited greatly from this research and mathematical models of electromigration applicable to capillary electrophoresis have been developed. As the sophistication of the models grew, so did the computational demands to evaluate them. In order to fully exploit the possibilities of advanced mathematical models a computer implementation capable of solving non-trivial problems at sufficient speed is necessary. This dissertation thesis explores applications of computer implementations of mathematical models re- lated to electromigration in two different areas. The main focus of this thesis is on the topic of linear theory of electromigration. We discuss the extension of the linear theory of electromigration beyond of just acid-base equilibria and computer implementation of this extented theory which is specialized to include complex-forming equilibria in order to be able to deal with affinity capillary electrophoresis prob- lems. Some technical aspects of the computer implementation are also discussed. This is followed upon by investigating certain selected affinity capillary electrophoresis systems. The purpose of this investi- gation is to re-derive...

Mathematical modelling of linear and nonlinear phenomena in capillary electrophoresis
Dvořák, Martin ; Dubský, Pavel (advisor) ; Kašička, Václav (referee) ; Gebauer, Petr (referee)
Capillary electrophoresis is one of the prominent analytical separation methods. Currently, many computer programs exist which are able to predict the result of an electrophoretic experiment. Firstly, there are programs based on numerical solving of corresponding continuity equations and equations of chemical equilibria. Secondly, there are programs based on approximative models of capillary electrophoresis. Programs belonging to the first group are applicable to a wide range of modes of capillary electrophoresis and provide a precise solution. Their disadvantage is though a considerable time demand. On the other hand, the approximative models give the results almost immediately and, in addition, provide some theoretical relationships which are useful for optimization of the separation process. This dissertation thesis is focused on improvement and extension of validity of existing approximative models of capillary electrophoresis. As a part of this thesis, a model capable of a full-blown description of capillary electrokinetic chromatography is introduced. This model is implemented into program PeakMaster 6. The attention is also paid to a nonlinear model of electromigration without diffusion. This model enables a very good description of electromigration dispersion including effects related to...

Determination of binding constants of human insulin complexes with serotonin, dopamine, arginine, and phenol by pressure assisted partial filling affinity capillary electrophoresis
Šolínová, Veronika ; Žáková, Lenka ; Jiráček, Jiří ; Kašička, Václav
A new method, pressure assisted partial filling affinity capillary electrophoresis (PF-ACE), has been developed to study noncovalent interactions of the hexamer of human insulin (HI) with cationic ligands, such as phenolic neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, and amino acid arginine, or with anionic ligand phenol, in alkaline aqueous solutions. The apparent binding constants, Kb, of the HI-ligand complexes were determined from the dependence of the effective migration time changes of the above ligands on the variable zone lengths of HI dissolved in the background electrolyte and hydrodynamically introduced into the bare fused silica capillary close to the UV detector. The HI interactions with the above ligands were found to be moderately strong, with Kb values in the range 385-1314 L/mol.

Determination of stability constants of antamanide complexes with sodium and potassium ions by affinity capillary electrophoresis
Pangavhane, Sachin ; Böhm, S. ; Makrlík, E. ; Ruzza, P. ; Kašička, Václav
Affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) was applied for quantitative investigation of the interactions between important biomolecule, cyclic decapeptide antamanide (AA), cycl[-Val(1)-Pro(2)-Pro(3)-Ala(4)-Phe(5)-Phe(6)-Pro(7)-Pro(8)-Phe(9)-Phe(10)-], and sodium and potassium cations in methanol. Apparent stability constants of AA complexes with these alkali metal ions were determined from the dependence of effective mobility of AA on the concentration of these ions in the background electrolyte by the non-linear regression analysis. The AA complexes with Na+ and K+ ions were found to be relatively weak, with the apparent stability constants 343 L/mol and 35 L/mol, respectively.

Affinity capillary electrophoresis applied to chiral separations of diquats and to determination of the stability constants of their complexes with sulfated cyclodextrins
Kašička, Václav ; Bílek, Jan ; Koval, Dušan ; Sázelová, Petra ; Talele, Harish Ramesh ; Severa, Lukáš ; Reyes Gutierrez, Paul Eduardo ; Teplý, Filip
Affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) using an aqueous 22/35 mM sodium/phosphate buffer, pH 2.5, as the background electrolyte (BGE), and 6 mM randomly highly sulfated alpha-, beta- and gamma-cyclodextrins (CDs) as chiral selectors has been successfully applied for separation of (P)- and (M)-enantiomers of a series of eleven new diquats (DQs) and for estimation of the strength of their complexes with the above CDs. The apparent stability constants of the DQs-CDs complexes were determined from the simultaneous ACE measurements of the dependence of effective electrophoretic mobilities of (P)- and (M)-enantiomers of DQs on the concentrations of CDs in the BGE by nonlinear regression analysis. The DQs enantiomers formed strong complexes with all three types of CDs with the apparent stability constants in the range (7.80 547.4) × 103 L/mol.
