A microchip electrophoretic method was applied to monitor and characterize the covalent attachment of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEGylation) of two proteins, alpha-lactalbumin and bovine serum albumin, using several poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) derivatives with molecular weights from 1 to 20 kDa. This method effectively separated multi-PEGylated proteins in a size-based manner and allowed monitoring of the PEGylation pattern with the advantages of high speed, minimal sample consumption, and high reproducibility. Microchip electrophoresis would be a very useful tool for protein PEGylation studies such as reaction monitoring, purity checks, and characterization of PEGylated protein products.
一种微芯片电泳方法被应用于监测和描述两种蛋白质(α-乳白蛋白和牛血清白蛋白)的共价连接,即聚乙二醇化(PEGylation),使用了几种分子量从 1 到 20 kDa 的聚乙二醇(PEG)衍生物。该方法可以有效地以尺寸为基础分离多 PEG 化蛋白质,并允许监测 PEG 化模式,具有速度快、样品消耗少、重现性高的优点。微芯片电泳将成为蛋白质 PEG 化研究的一个非常有用的工具,如反应监测、纯度检查和 PEG 化蛋白质产品的特性描述。
