ION EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY:

ION EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY Each protein has overall net charge at a particular pH Some are negatively charged and some positively charged This property of protein is the basis for ion exchange chromatography 3

Slide 4:

Fine cellulose resins are used that are either negatively(cation exchanger) or positively charged (anion exchanger). Protein of opposite charge to the resin are retained, as a solution of proteins passed through the coloumn. The bound protein are then eluted by passing a solution of ions bearing a charge opposite to that of the column. 4

Slide 5:

5 E.g. Dowex-50 is a cation-exchange resin It has covalently attached sulfonic acid groups which, at pH 3, are deprotonated and charged-balanced by associated

PRINCIPLE OF SEPARATION:

PRINCIPLE OF SEPARATION The positively charged amino acids are bound to the resin which is negatively charged. The conditions are then altered to increase the pH, temperature and the concentration of the buffer counter ion. When the isoionic point of an amino acid is being reached, the ionic attraction to the resin is lost and the amino acid elutes from the column. 6

STATIONARY PHASES OF IEC 1 . Functional group Cation Exchanger Anion exchanger Quaternary amine -N(CH3)3+ OH- Quaternary amine - N(CH3)2(EtOH)+OH- Tertiary amine -NH(CH3)2+ OH- Secondary amine -NH2(CH3)2+ OH- Primary amine -NH3+ OH - Sulfonic acid -SO3- H+ Carboxylic acid -COO- H+ Phosphonic acid PO3- H+ Phosphinic acid HPO2- H+ Phenolic -O- H+ Arsonic -HAsO3- H+ Selenonic -SeO3- H+

Matrixes:

Matrixes 1. Silica-based Better chromatographic efficiency, stability and durability in high pressure limited pH range : 2< pH <7 2. Polymer-based chemically derivatization of synthetic organic polymers most widely used types of ion-exchangers tolerance towards eluents and samples with extreme pH, between 0-14. 10

MOBILE PHASES OF IEC:

MOBILE PHASES OF IEC Properties of Mobile phases compatibility with the detection mode nature of the competing ion concentration of the competing ion mobiles phase’s pH buffering capacity of the mobile phase ability to complex the ionic sample components organic modifiers 11

ELUENTS FOR ANIONS:

ELUENTS FOR ANIONS Aromatic carboxylic acids and their salts mostly widely employed eluent low conductances ex) lithium hydroxide Aliphatic carboxylic acid Aromatic and aliphatic sulfonic acids Potassium hydroxide Polyol -borate complexes Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid -EDTA Inorganic salts such as Cl -, SO42- or PO43- 12

ELUENTS FOR CATIONS:

ELUENTS FOR CATIONS Inorganic acids such as nitric acid Organic bases 13

DERIVATIZATION:

DERIVATIZATION Amino acids are colourless and most of them have very little absorption in the UV region. Problem in detecting amino acid To overcome the difficulty, amino acids are converted into its derivative by using ninhydrin 14

Slide 15:

Ninhydrin (2 mol) reacts with one mol of ANY amino acid to give the SAME blue colored product. This reaction is performed post-column, after Ion Exchange Chromatography separation of a mixture of amino acids. The area of each peak in the chromatogram is proportional to the relative molar amount of the amino acid of that retention time. 15

Slide 16:

Example A simple mixture of three amino acids having very different isoelectric points 16 Aspartic acid Alanine Lysine

Slide 17:

17 D - elutes first, followed by A; K + elutes last, and only after pH of buffer is increased and K + is deprotonated

Slide 18:

18 injection Retention time Increase pH of buffer In the simple mixture D - elutes first, followed by A; K elutes last, and only after the pH of buffer is increased and K + is deprotonated

19 AMINO ACID ANALYSER

Slide 20:

AMINO ACID ANALYSER (AAA) Amino Acid Analyser is a specifically configured system optimised for the analysis of free amino acids. PRINCIPLE The system utilises ion-exchange chromatography incorporating post column reaction with ninhydrin and subsequent detection in the visible region spectrum. 20

Slide 22:

22 PARAMETERS AFFECTING AMINO ACID SEPARATION: 1. Analytical column dimension The sensitivity increases while column diameter decreases resin bed length increases 2. Buffer composition pH Molarity Organic solvent content

Slide 23:

23 3. Timing of buffers Adjusting the timing of the buffer is equivalent to adjusting the pH and molaritiy. Timing of buffer adjustment : 1 to 2 min at a time 4. Buffer flow rate 5. Analytical column temperature Temperature adjustment: 1 to 2 °C at a time

APPLICATION:

APPLICATION Primary tool in determination of amino acid imbalance Evaluation of functional vitamin and mineral deficiencies For Diagnosis of various metabolic disorders Allergies Mechanism include disordered methionine metabolism, taurine depletion and free radical pathology 24

Slide 25:

Many people with food allergies report improve tolerance of food with amino acid supplements particularly when plasma taurine and histidine levels are low Cardiovascular disease: Taurine : Powerful antiplatelet aggregation property (important in CVS diseases) Depression and Behaviour disorders: Trptophan,tyrosine and phenylalanine:depression Taurine:To control seizures Others: In blood sugar disorder,immune dysfunctions,trauma,post surgical recovery,sclerosis, eating disorders 25
