What is the primary factor that determines the rate of movement for anions in Capillary Electrophoresis?
EOF - ion mobility
How does increasing the buffer strength affect the electro-osmotic flow in Capillary Electrophoresis?
Decreases EOF
What happens to the electro-osmotic flow when anionic surfactants are introduced in Capillary Electrophoresis?
FLO increases
Which globulin is present in higher concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient with multiple sclerosis approaching the malignant phase?
b2-globulin
What is the primary factor that affects the migration time in Capillary Electrophoresis?
Electro-osmotic flow
Which NSAID was identified as peak 5 in the CE separation based on ionic radius using a buffer of 0.075 M glycine adjusted to pH 9.1 with triethanolamine?
Aceclofenac
What is the principal of migration in capillary electrophoresis and SDSPAGE?
Migration occurs based on the charge-to-mass ratio of the proteins
Which of the following is a potential limitation of capillary electrophoresis compared to HPLC?
Less robustness
What is the main difference between SDSPAGE and isoelectric focusing?
SDSPAGE uses SDS, while isoelectric focusing does not
Which of the following is a real-world pharmacopoeial analysis that uses electrophoresis?
All of the above
What is the main advantage of capillary electrophoresis over HPLC?
Potentially many times more efficient separation power
Which of the following is a common application of size exclusion chromatography (SEC)?
Separation of proteins based on their molecular size
Which one of these drugs was NOT produced using CHO cells?
Remicade (infliximab)
Which of the following is NOT an indication of Avastin (bevacizumab)?
Metastatic breast cancer
Which statement is true about the electrophoretic mobility (me) of an ion in capillary electrophoresis?
me is proportional to the charge on the molecule and inversely proportional to the radius of the ion
Which statement is FALSE about the separation mechanism in capillary electrophoresis?
The greater the charge on the ion, the lower its mobility
Which of the following is NOT an application of capillary electrophoresis?
Effective for analysing drugs/metabolites in food samples
Which statement is FALSE about the separation achieved in capillary electrophoresis?
The degree of ionisation has no bearing on the shape of the analyte in solution
What is a downside of binding assays such as ELISA and RIA?
They can suffer from a lack of specificity
Which technique uses a radiolabelled version of the antigen?
RIA
Which of the following is an example of a real-world pharmacopoeial analysis using ELISA?
Identification of hepatitis B surface antigen in factor VIII
Which of the following is an example of a real-world pharmacopoeial analysis using RIA?
Identification of hepatitis B surface antigen in urokinase
What is the concept behind RIA?
Using a radiolabelled version of the antigen, there is a competition between labelled and unlabelled antigen, resulting in a proportional displacement of the radiolabelled version
What is the Edman reaction?
A technique for sequencing proteins using stepwise degradation of the N-terminal amino acid
