Yeast whole cell lysates were prepared and proteins were extracted using two workflows: 1) Proteins were extracted into the coacervate generated from the mixture of HFIP, surfactant, and cell lysate. 2) Proteins were extracted from cell lysate using a surfactant solution, and HFIP was added to the supernatant to generate a coacervate phase with concentrated proteins. Both initial extractions were followed by a modified filter-aided sample preparation (FASP) cleanup. The methodology yields significant protein concentrations in the coacervate phase (2–3 orders of magnitude increase in concentration) and an increase in proteome sequence coverage (+5%), membrane proteins identifications (+50%), and identification of proteins from low abundance cellular subfractions (>10% of total IDs).}, journal={JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY A}, author={McCord, James P. and Muddiman, David C. and Khaledi, Morteza G.}, year={2017}, month={Nov}, pages={293–299} } @article{weisner_khaledi_2016, title={Organic synthesis in fluoroalcohol-water two-phase systems}, volume={18}, ISSN={["1463-9270"]}, DOI={10.1039/c5gc01463h}, abstractNote={Higher yields were observed for Friedel Crafts benzylations of arenes in HFIP–Water two phase systems that in pure solvents.}, number={3}, journal={GREEN CHEMISTRY}, author={Weisner, Nathaniel and Khaledi, Morteza G.}, year={2016}, pages={681–685} } @article{jenkins_collins_khaledi_2016, title={Perfluorinated Alcohols Induce Complex Coacervation in Mixed Surfactants}, volume={32}, ISSN={["0743-7463"]}, DOI={10.1021/acs.langmuir.5b04701}, abstractNote={Recently, we reported a unique and nearly ubiquitous phenomenon of inducing simple and complex coacervation in solutions of a broad variety of individual and mixed amphiphiles and over a wide range of concentrations and mole fractions. This paper describes a novel type of biphasic separation in aqueous solutions of mixed cationic-anionic (catanionic) surfactants induced by hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP). The test cases included mixtures of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) (surfactants with different carbon chain lengths) as well as dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) with SDS (surfactants with the same carbon chain lengths). The CTAB-SDS-HFIP coacervate systems can be produced at many different mole ratios of surfactant, but DTAB-SDS-HFIP formed only coacervates at equimolar (1:1) mole ratios of DTAB and SDS. The phase-transition behavior of both systems was studied over a wide range of surfactant and HFIP concentrations at the stoichiometric (1:1) mole ratio of cationic/anionic surfactants. The chemical compositions of each of the two phases (aqueous-rich and coacervate phases) were studied with regard to the concentrations of HFIP, water, and individual surfactants. It is revealed that the surfactant-rich phase (coacervate phase) contains a large percentage of fluoroalcohol relative to the aqueous phase and is enriched in both surfactants but contains a small percentage of water. Surprisingly, the concentration of water in the coacervate phase increases as the total HFIP concentration is increased while the concentration of HFIP in the coacervate phase remains relatively constant, which means a larger amount of water associated with HFIP molecules is extracted into the coacervate phase, which results in the growth of the phase. The volume of the coacervate phase increases with an increase in surfactant concentration and total HFIP %. The coacervate phase is highly enriched in the two amphiphilic ions (DTA(+) and DS(-)) whereas the two counterions (Br(-) and Na(+)) primarily reside in the aqueous-rich phase. The results suggest the formation of a catanionic complex in the coacervate phase through ion pairing with a concomitant release of the surfactant counterions (Na(+) and Br(-)) into the aqueous-rich phase. Finally, the fluorocarbon alcohol systems are contrasted with the effects of aliphatic alcohols in the mixed catanionic surfactant systems.

This paper focuses on HFIP-induced complex coacervate formation in the mixtures of anionic polyelectrolytes, such as sodium salt of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMA) or poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and cationic surfactants of alkyltrimethylammonium bromides. In purely aqueous media and over a wide concentration range, mixtures of PMA and CTAB form the catanionic complex (CTA(+)PM(-)) that is insoluble in water (white precipitate). Upon addition of a small percentage of HFIP, the mixture goes through phase transition and formation of two distinctly clear liquid phases. The phase diagram for the HFIP-PMA-CTAB coacervate system was studied. The coacervate volume was determined as a function of system variables such as charge ratio as well as total and individual concentrations of the system components. These results, combined with the chemical composition analysis of the separated aqueous top-phase and coacervate bottom-phase, shed light on the coacervation mechanism. The results suggest that exchange of counterions and ion-pair formation play critical roles in the coacervation process. This process facilitated by HFIP through solvation of the head groups and dehydration of the hydrophobic moieties of the catanionic complex. Because of the presence of HFIP, coacervation occurs over a wide range of concentrations and charge ratios of the oppositely charged polyelectrolyte and surfactant.}, number={20}, journal={LANGMUIR}, author={Nejati, Mahboubeh M. and Khaledi, Morteza G.}, year={2015}, month={May}, pages={5580–5589} } @article{fu_khaledi_2014, title={Characterization and Classification of Pseudo-Stationary Phases in Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography Using Chemometric Methods}, volume={86}, ISSN={["1520-6882"]}, DOI={10.1021/ac403231h}, abstractNote={Two types of chemometric methods, principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis, are employed to characterize and classify a total of 70 pseudostationary phases (54 distinct systems and 16 decoy systems) in micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC). PCA excels at removing redundant information for micellar phase characterization and retaining principal determinants for phase classification. While PCA is useful in the characterization of micelle selectivities, it is ineffective in defining the grouping of micellar phases. Hierarchical clustering yields a complete dendrogram of cluster structures but provides only limited cluster characterizations. The combination of these two chemometric methods leads to a comprehensive interpretation of the micellar phase classification. Moreover, the k-means analysis can further discern subtle differences among those closely located micellar phases. All three chemometric methods result in similar classifications with respect to the similarities and differences of the 70 micelle systems investigated. These systems are categorized into 3 major clusters: fluoro-surfactants represent cluster I, identified as strong hydrogen bond donors and dipolar but weak hydrogen bond acceptors. Cluster II includes sulfonated acrylamide/acrylate copolymers and surfactants with trimethylammonium head groups, characterized by strong hydrophobicity (v) and weak hydrogen bond acidity (b). The last cluster consists of two subclusters: clusters III and IV. Cluster III includes siloxane-based polymeric micelles, exhibiting weak hydrophobicity and medium hydrogen bond acidity and basicity (a), and the cluster IV micellar systems are characterized by their strong hydrophobicity and medium hydrogen bond acidity and basicity but rather weak dipolarity. Cluster III differs from cluster IV by its slightly weaker hydrophobicity and hydrogen bond donating capability.

The MST scheme is, in concept, similar to the widely known solvent selectivity triangle (SST) originally developed by Snyder. However, the MST is based on linear solvation energy relationships. Thus it incorporates the solvation characteristics of both the pseudo-phase and the bulk solvent; while the SST is basically for classification of pure solvents. The similarities and differences of these pseudo-phases are determined by the relative scales of hydrogen bond donating ability (Xb), hydrogen bond accepting ability (Xa) and dipolarity (Xs). The MST scheme is used for characterization and classification of a wide range of pseudo-phases such as micelles, polymers, vesicles, liposomes, as well as mixed systems such as mixed micelles, mixed polymer–surfactants, organically modified pseudo-phases, etc. Over seventy pseudo-phases were examined and four clusters of pseudo-phases with different selectivity patterns are recognized that include pseudo-phases with strong hydrogen bond acidities (e.g. fluorinated micelles or micelles modified with fluorinated alcohols), strong hydrogen bond acceptor pseudo-phases (such as bile salts, liposomes, microemulsions, as well as biphasic octanol–water system), strong dipolar phase of a class of polymeric pseudo-phase, and pseudo-phases with intermediate hydrogen bonding and dipolarity [like sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and its analogs as well as organically modified SDS].

In addition, we demonstrate the capability of controlling selectivity properties of micelles through addition of organic modifiers with known solvation properties as predicted by MST. The examples are modification of the hydrogen bond donor (HBD) micelle of lithium perfluorooctanesulfonate, the hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) micelle of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, and the sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles with intermediate hydrogen bonding properties with two hydrophobic organic modifiers. One is an aliphatic alcohol, n-pentanol that can act as both a HBA and a HBD; by contrast, the other organic modifier is a fluorinated alcohol, hexafluoroisopropanol that is a strong HBD modifier and would enhance the hydrogen bond donor strength of micelles. A test sample composed of 20 small organic solutes representing HBA, HBD, and non-hydrogen bond aromatic compounds was carefully selected. The trends in retention behavior of these compounds in different micelles are consistent with the selectivity patterns predicted by the MST scheme. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the unique selectivity of fluorinated alcohols as modifiers in MEKC.

Using aqueous buffers in CE, no separation between apolipoprotein A‐I and A‐II was observed. With the addition of 10–20% acetonitrile, however, the two species could be separated. Furthermore, multiple peaks for each of the apolipoprotein species were observed under these CE conditions. In order to identify and characterize the components, these separations were then coupled with online mass spectrometric detection (CE‐MS). Our CE‐MS results suggest that the multiple components observed in the acetonitrile‐containing CE separation appear to be oxidized forms of the proteins in addition to native forms of the apolipoprotein A‐I and A‐II. These data are in agreement with previous reports that the methionine residues of the high‐density lipoproteins (HDLs) are sensitive to oxidation, which in turn, alters their lipid binding characteristics and secondary structure. In addition to oxidized forms of the proteins, apolipoprotein A‐II contained additional components, which varied in mass by 128 Da. The structural differences between these components were determined by proteolytic digestion and tandem MS. Using these techniques, we determined that these components were due to truncation of the C‐terminal glutamine amino acid residue on apolipoprotein A‐II.

Most notably, the utilization of divalent counter-ion species of dodecyl sulfate surfactants causes the micelles to become more hydrophobic and a weaker hydrogen bond donating pseudo-stationary phases.

The charges of the basic enantiomers were controlled by adjusting the buffer pH. At pH 2.5, basic compounds are positively charged and interact stronger with the negatively charged CD than with neutral CDs, owing to the extra electrostatic interaction. This additional interaction is very useful for chiral separations of the enantiomers that interact weakly with the neutral CDs. For example, chiral separations of acebutolol, metanephrine, normetanephrine, nafronyl, labetalol, and nadolol were achieved at this pH. For labetalol and nadolol that have two chiral centers, three of the four isomers were separated. The capillary surface was dynamically coated with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to reduce the possible interactions between solutes and the capillary wall, to improve efficiency and reduce the electroosmotic flow (EOF) for enhancing resolution. PVA reduced the interactions between the analytes and the chiral selector; nevertheless, peak tailing was observed owing to the electrodispersion for the compounds that interact too strongly with the anionic CD. At pH 11.6, most of the basic test compounds (except those having phenol groups) are neutral and have weaker interactions with the negatively charged CD. The separation efficiency increased dramatically for all analytes at higher pH owing to the absence of electrodispersion. The existence of the neutral PVA polymer in the buffer solution increased the solubility of the neutral hydrophobic amines and reduced the solute–CD complexation.

Upon complexation with the anionic CD, electrophoretic mobilities of the basic enantiomers decreased, however, both separation selectivity and resolution were enhanced. The advantage of NACE chiral separations over the aqueous CE with the charged CD is that higher electric field strength and higher ionic strength could be applied due to the characteristics of the solvent formamide. The higher ionic strength leads to stacking of peaks and reduces the electrodispersion caused by the mobility mismatch between β-CD-(SO4−)4–analyte complexes and the co-ions in the running buffer. As a result, better peak shapes and higher separation efficiency were obtained. Comparing with NACE chiral separations with neutral CDs, lower concentration of β-CD-(SO4−)4 was needed due to the fact that the electrostatic attraction caused stronger binding between β-CD-(SO4−)4 and the enantiomers. The effects of the experimental parameters, such as concentration of the CD, apparent pH (pH*), degree of substitutions of the CDs, percentage of water in mixed solvent systems, and type of solvents were also studied.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY B}, author={Wang, F and Khaledi, MG}, year={1999}, month={Aug}, pages={187–197} } @article{malek_khaledi_1999, title={Steroid analysis in single cells by capillary electrophoresis with collinear laser-induced fluorescence detection}, volume={270}, ISSN={["1096-0309"]}, DOI={10.1006/abio.1999.3096}, abstractNote={Capillary electrophoresis with collinear laser-induced fluorescence detection was used for the analysis of steroids in single R2C cells.

Systems that were investigated include mixed bile salts [sodium deoxycholate (SDC) and sodium cholate (SC)] and mixed sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)–bile salt systems (e.g., SDS–SC and SDS–SDC). The retention behavior in individual and mixed micellar systems is primarily determined by size and hydrogen bond acceptor strengths of solutes. Through a comparative study of the LSER coefficients in the individual and mixed micellar systems, it was concluded that hydrogen bonding interactions have a significant effect on selectivity of these pseudostationary phases in electrokinetic chromatography.

Several profens and amino acids could only be separated by QA-β-CD in pure formamide system. No chiral separation of the profens was achieved in the following solvents: N-methylformamide, methanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, and water; however, chiral separations of most of the amino acids were obtained in all of these solvents. The effects of other experimental parameters such as the CD concentration and apparent pH (pH*) were also investigated.

In an aprotic solvent such as acetonitrile, large polarizable compounds selectively interact with planar organic cations, thereby facilitating the analysis of solutes that have low solubilities in aqueous or mixed solvents. Presented in this article are the separations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that were achieved through dipolar and charge-transfer interactions with various substituted pyrylium cations. It was found that the number of rings contained in the PAH molecule, the presence of functional groups on the molecule, the concentration of the pyrylium cation, and the number of phenyl substituents on the pyrylium ring affected the electrophoretic mobility of the solute–cation complex. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Micro Sep 10: 681–685, 1998}, number={8}, journal={JOURNAL OF MICROCOLUMN SEPARATIONS}, author={Miller, JL and Khaledi, MG and Shea, D}, year={1998}, pages={681–685} } @misc{khaledi_1997, title={Micelles as separation media in high-performance liquid chromatography and high-performance capillary electrophoresis: overview and perspective}, volume={780}, ISSN={["0021-9673"]}, DOI={10.1016/S0021-9673(97)00610-9}, abstractNote={The use of micelles in high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis is reviewed. In the first part, an overview of micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) is provided. Since the first introduction of the technique by Armstrong and Henry [D.W. Armstrong and S.J. Henry, J. Liq. Chromatogr., 3 (1980) 657; D.W. Armstrong, Sep. Purif. Methods 14 (1985) 213] in 1980, the technique has received much attention due to its numerous capabilities and advantages, such as simultaneous separation of charged and uncharged solutes, rapid gradient capability, direct on-column injection of physiological fluids, unique separation selectivity, high reproducibility, robustness, enhanced luminescence detection, low cost and safety. The main shortcoming of the technique is poor chromatographic efficiency. Nevertheless, MLC is superior to ion-pair LC and ion-exchange LC for the separation of charged molecules and mixtures of charged and uncharged solutes. The roles of micelles and organic modifiers in controlling retention and selectivity in MLC is described. The differences between MLC and reversed-phase LC in terms of chromatographic hehavior and scope of application are examined. A main focus of this overview is on micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC). In 1984, Terabe et al. [S. Terabe, K. Otsuka, K. Ichikawa, A. Tsuchiya and T. Ando, Anal. Chem. 56 (1984) 111; S. Terabe, K. Otsuka and T. Ando, Anal. Chem. 57 (1985) 834] reported the use of micelles in buffer solutions for capillary electrophoresis (CE). MEKC was primarily developed for the separation of uncharged solutes, but it has grown far beyond its initial intent. The scope of applications covers wide groups of organic, inorganic and biochemical compounds that are of interest in various disciplines, such as pharmaceutical, clinical, biotechnological, environmental sciences and others. This is due to its unique advantages, such as high efficiency, speed, ease of method development, feasibility of incorporating various chemistries to influence retention and selectivity, small sample size and low cost. The instrumental set-up in MEKC is the same as that for CE. However, charged organized media such as micelles are incorporated in the buffer solution and act as a pseudo-stationary phase. Unchanged solutes are separated on the basis of their differential partitioning into the micellar pseudo-stationary phase. The roles of various parameters on the overall chromatographic behavior are described. Special attention is given to the characterization of selectivity of pseudo-stationary phases on MEKC.}, number={1-2}, journal={JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY A}, author={Khaledi, MG}, year={1997}, month={Sep}, pages={3–40} } @article{miller_khaledi_shea_1997, title={Separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis using charge-transfer complexation with planar organic cations}, volume={69}, ISSN={["0003-2700"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-0031569134&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1021/ac960734n}, abstractNote={In this study, we examine the use of charge-transfer interactions between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and planar organic cations in nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis.
