The HPLC purification of the A&#946; peptide is highly dependent upon the choice of both the stationary phase employed in the purification and the mobile phase chosen to elute the peptide. The low isoelectric point of the peptide and high propensity for aggregation render traditional chromatographic conditions for the separation of hydrophobic proteins (C4 or C8 stationary phase coupled with an acidic mobile eluent) challenging, with the A&#946; peptide eluting as a prolonged broad, non-resolved peak (Figure 2A</...

A doença de Alzheimer é uma doença neurodegenerativa que os efeitos de mais de 35 milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo. 1 Implicado fortemente no início e desenvolvimento da doença, é altamente propensos a agregação, peptídeo hidrofóbico beta-amilóide (Ap). Ap 2 varia de 36 a 43 aminoácidos de comprimento, no entanto, pensa-se que o 42-amino ácido variante, beta amilóide 42 (Aβ42), é a forma mais tóxica da proteína. 3 Isto é devido em grande parte à capacidade de Aβ42 para formar prontamente difusï¿½eis, espécies oligoméricas que se acredita ser entidades particularmente neurotóxicos. 4 A fim de promover nossa compreensão do peptídeo Aâ, é essencial para obter rotineiramente material de alta pureza. A presença de vestígios de impurezas foi mostrado para alterar drasticamente as propriedades de agregação propensão do péptido. 5 Traditionally, a cromatografia líquida (HPLC) de separação dos péptidos hidrofóbicos, tais como Ap alto desempenho tem sido feito através da utilização de uma combinação de C 4 ou C 8 fases estacionárias à base de sílica e uma fase móvel de ácido. 6 No entanto, tais condições podem apresentar um desafio para a purificação do péptido. O ponto isoeléctrico baixo do péptido Ap (pi de aproximadamente 5,5) 7 significa que, sob condições ácidas, a agregação peptídica é aumentada e, como resultado grandes picos de HPLC, não resolvidas que são muitas vezes difíceis de isolar são produzidas (Figura 2A). Além disso, esses picos largos contêm frequentemente impurezas que podem ter impacto no perfil de agregação do peptídeo, e geralmente requerem ciclos subsequentes de purificação, que podem ter impacto dramaticamente a quantidade de péptido produzida. O poli (estireno / divinilbenzeno) de fase estacionária, PLRP-S, representa um meio alternativo de PurifYing péptidos hidrofóbicos. A fase estacionária foi utilizado na purificação de um número de diferentes proteínas e ácidos ribonucleicos mensageiro (mRNA). 8, 9 A fase estacionária PLRP-S requer nenhum ligando de alquilo adicional para a separação de fase reversa, e o mais importante é quimicamente estável a um pH elevado, que leva a desagregação do péptido. 7 Relata-se um protocolo de purificação HPLC adaptado que produz alta pureza amyloid beta 42 (Aβ42) e beta 40 peptídeos amilóides (Aβ40).

a tailored hplc purification protocol that yields high-purity amyloid beta 42 and amyloid beta 40 peptides, capable of oligomer formation

Amyloidogenic peptides such as the Alzheimer's disease-implicated Amyloid beta (A&#946;), can present a significant challenge when trying to obtain high purity material. Here we present a tailored HPLC purification protocol to produce high-purity amyloid beta 42 (A&#946;42) and amyloid beta 40 (A&#946;40) peptides. We have found that the combination of commercially available hydrophobic poly(styrene/divinylbenzene) stationary phase, polymer laboratory reverse phase - styrenedivinylbenzene (PLRP-S) under high pH conditions, enables the attainment of high purity (&gt;95%) A&#946;42 in a single chromatographic run. The purification is highly reproducible and can be amended to both semi-preparative and analytical conditions depending upon the amount of material wished to be purified. The protocol can also be applied to the A&#946;40 peptide with identical success and without the need to alter the method.

The purification of the A&#946;42 peptide using a combination of the PLRP-S stationary phase and a high pH mobile phase results in the formation of a sharp, resolved peak for the A&#946; peptide at a retention time between 72 and 74 min (Figure 2C). Confirmation of the identity of the peak is done through direct injection mass spectrometry of the collected eluent. The eluent can be stored at -20 &#176;C in solution for up to 12 h. Longer periods of storage may result in o...

Herein we report a tailored HPLC purification protocol that yields high-purity amyloid beta 42 (A&#946;42) and amyloid beta 40 (A&#946;40) peptides, capable of oligomer formation.
