Scientific and technological progress have revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of disease, and it continues to do so. A leading supplier of analytical instrumentation, software, chemistry products, and services and support, Waters is uniquely positioned to provide researchers the technological means to tackle substantial analytical challenges that various biomolecules present. Keenly aware of today’s challenges, our scientists and engineers are committed to the relentless pursuit of innovative, intelligent, imaginative solutions that manifest themselves in a range of problem solving applications, from proteomics and biomarker discovery to the commercialization of advanced biopharmaceuticals. We continue to develop columns and sample-preparation consumables that support the HPLC, UHPLC, UPLC, and LC-MS analysis of peptides, proteins, oligonucleotides, amino acids, and glycoprotein associated glycans. Our comprehensive family of chemistries and consumables includes these offerings: ■■Peptide columns for nano, capillary, analytical, and preparative peptide applications ■■Protein size-exclusion, ion-exchange, hydrophobic-interaction, hydrophilic-interaction, and reversed- phase columns for analytical HPLC, UHPLC, UPLC, and laboratory-scale purification applications ■■AccQ•Tag™ Ultra chemistry, specific for Waters UPLC Amino Acid Analysis Solution as well as Pico•Tag® and AccQ•Tag chemistries for HPLC-based amino acid analyses ■■Oligonucleotide columns for synthetic oligonucleotide and DNA/RNA fragment isolations and analyses ■■ACQUITY UPLC Glycoprotein BEH Amide 300Å Columns for the analyses of intact glycoproteins, glycoprotein fragments, and glycopeptides ■■Above columns designed and quality-control tested with relevant biomolecules to help ensure column-to-column consistency ■■GlycoWorks™ RapiFluor-MS® sample preparation kits, standards, and Waters Glycan BEH Amide 130Å Columns for the analysis of released glycans ■■Analytical standards and reagents consumables and kits for MS and LC-MS applications of peptides, proteins, and other biomolecules 241 Amino Acids The constituents of proteins, amino acids are the intermediates in many metabolic pathways. Qualitative and quantitative amino acid analysis (AAA) is used to determine the concentration of proteins, identify proteins, and detect structural variants. Amino acid composition is a critical component of the nutritional value of foods and feeds. The same analytical tools are used to monitor cell culture and fermentation processes. AAA is also used as a clinical diagnostic tool for assessing inborn errors of metabolism and nutritional status. Reversed-phase chromatography provides good selectivity for separating amino acids. The most common approach to reversed- phase AAA includes pre-column derivatization. The derivatized amino acids are better retained on the reversed-phase column and are, therefore, more easily separated. Most common derivatization reagents react with amines. Some react only with primary amines, but the most useful ones also react with secondary amines so that proline and hydroxyproline are also measured. In addition to improving chromatography, derivatization can render amino acids readily detectable by UV absorbance or fluorescence. Waters offers an UPLC as well as HPLC-based method for AAA that employ pre-column derivatization and reversed-phase chromatography for accurate identification and quantitation of free or amino acids hydrolyzed from protein digests: AccQ•Tag (HPLC-based) and AccQ•Tag Ultra (UPLC-based). Hundreds of published papers report the successful application of our AccQ- Fluor pre-column chemistry for amino acid derivatization. The stable derivatized AAs are then resolved on our AccQ•Tag or AccQ•Tag Ultra C18 Column with on-line detection of the resolved amino acids, using UV absorbance or fluorescence detection. ACCQ•TAG ULTRA DERIVATIZATION REACTION The following steps describe the AccQ•Tag Ultra derivatization process: ■■ Starting material is AccQ•Tag Ultra Reagent Powder ¡■ 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate (AQC) ¡■ US Patent #5,296,599 and European Patent #EP 0 533 200 B1 ■■ AQC reacts rapidly with both primary and secondary amines ■■ Excess reagent reacts more slowly with water, forming 6-aminoquinoline (AMQ) ■■ AMQ reacts slowly with excess AQC reagent, forming a bis urea ■■ Derivatized amino acids are separated chromatographically from the by-products ■■Requires no vacuum drying, sample prep, or extraction Chemistry of the AccQ•Tag Derivatization Reaction O O O OH 1° Amino Acid: OH H t <<1s H N O NH2 1/2 N NH
