    Author: Liu Z, Pawliszyn J.

    Abstract:
    Capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF) with liquid-core waveguide (LCW) laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) whole-column imaging detection (WCID) is a recently developed high-resolution, high-sensitivity, and high-speed analytical tool for protein analysis. Several potential applications of this system were demonstrated in this study. First, this system was employed to separate naturally fluorescent phycobiliproteins. Second, denaturing CIEF was suggested to study the conformational and chemical microheterogeneity and to characterize proteins with identical pI values. Third, a modified noncovalent fluorescent labeling procedure was presented, which allows the simple and effective labeling of proteins, antibodies, and viruses with reduced multiple labeling and preserved activity. Finally, extracellular proteins were suggested as signaling biomarkers for evaluation of cell viability. The separation of cyanobacteria and their extracellular phycoerythrins was demonstrated. The effectiveness of CIEF-LCW-LIF-WCID for the analysis of proteins, antibodies, viruses, and cells has been illustrated.
