Toward Personalized Stationary Chromatography Phases: Equipping Commercial Silica Phases with Selected Peptide-Based Binding Domains to Tailor Affinity

06.01.2025 - Toward Personalized Stationary Chromatography Phases: Equipping Commercial Silica Phases with Selected Peptide-Based Binding Domains to Tailor Affinity
The last paper of Steffen Busche was released in Advanced Materials Interfaces.



The 7-mer peptide motifs QFFLFFQ, QFFEFFQ and QFQQSFF, known as good, medium and poor binders for the photosensitizers m-THPC and Chlorin E6 are covalently immobilized on commercial amino-functionalized silica particles by inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder ligation. After proof of compound binding by UV/Vis batch experiments, professionally packed HPLC columns show compound specific separation performance with clear differences in retention times.
