Abstract:
Experiments and simulations have been carried out for several polar protected peptides in reversed phase chromatography in order to demonstrate how simulation can describe the effects of varying temperature and cosolvent fraction. Comparisons of adsorption chemical potentials from mesoscopic simulations and experimental chromatographic retention data show very good agreement with only one temperature-independent solvent parameter from a single peptide. Such simulations should help guide the design of chromatography experiments with biomolecules and predict retention, including conditions for which empirical correlations such as hydrophobicity scales and molecular descriptors have not been developed.

Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
