Microchip affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) enables studying molecular interactions. This method allows for fast characterization of ligand-substrate binding constants, crucial for understanding drug and hormone targets.

Area of Science:

Analytical Chemistry
Biochemistry
Molecular Interactions

Background:

Affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) characterizes non-covalent molecular interactions.
Binding constants (K(B)) quantify ligand-substrate affinity, essential for understanding biological targets.
Traditional ACE is performed on capillaries.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate the feasibility of affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) on microchips.
To highlight the advantages of microchip-ACE (MC-ACE) over traditional capillary-based ACE.
To assess MC-ACE as a tool for characterizing ligand-substrate interactions and determining binding constants.

Main Methods:

Utilized a microchip electrophoresis instrument with UV detection.
Employed a home-built chip-station with electrochemical detection.
