HemogloBind™ Employed In A Nano LC−MALDI MS/MS Method for Identifying Single Mutation Hemoglobin Variants
MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ, February 9, 2023 -- Biotech Support Group reports on a journal article describing the simplicity and efficiency of HemogloBind™, to purify Hemoglobin, in a nano LC−MALDI MS/MS measurement of single amino acid mutations in Hb variants.
The citation is:
The article states “Pure Hb was isolated from hemolysate by using Hemoglobind … The Hb bound to the matrix was eluted by increasing the pH of the buffer using 100 mM Tris borate, pH 9. This allows for easy, one−step isolation of Hb from hemolysate.”
“The
use of Hemoglobind reduced the time to obtain pure Hb in an easy
single–step procedure. Pure Hb protein is required specifically to
optimize and standardize methods for diagnostics. … The desorbed Hb
was compatible with LC–MS, and other proteomics studies, as we
verified, did not show any change in its intact mass either. This
one−step affinity purification gave us the utmost purified Hb.”
The article concludes that a sensitive, robust, and reproducible
method was developed to identify/ characterize single substitution
mutations in the Hb disorder variants. It simply used pure Hb
isolated from blood in a single step by using the Hemoglobind matrix,
followed by TFE based sample processing and digestion by trypsin,
followed by nano−LC separation. The separated peptides were spotted
onto MALDI plates upon elution from a nano−LC column and subjected
to MALDI MS and MS/MS analysis. The method highlights a non−targeted
approach for the identification of Hb variants and its
reproducibility to yield 100% sequence coverage for the β−chain
with precise identification of all the mutations. It has the
potential to become a regular screening/diagnosis tool for the
identification of single amino acid mutations in Hb variants.
“I
am very pleased to see that HemogloBind™ performed so well, for
such an important heathcare purpose. While most of the applications
for HemogloBind™ are for depletion, this application shows its
versatility in purifying Hemoglobin for mutational analysis. We
envision that this and similar methods will be applicable for not
only conventional venous blood samples, but potentially dried blood
spots as well, as only small amounts of pure Hemoglobin are required
in the final analysis.” states Swapan Roy, Ph.D., President and
Founder of Biotech Support Group.
