An improved method for the online preconcentration, derivatization, and separation of phosphorylated compounds was developed based on the affinity of a Phos-tag acrylamide gel formed at the intersection of a polydimethylsiloxane/glass multichannel microfluidic chip toward these compounds. The acrylamide solution comprised Phos-tag acrylamide, acrylamide, and N,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide, while 2,2′-azobis[2-methyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)propionamide] was used as a photocatalytic initiator. The Phos-tag acrylamide gel was formed around the channel crossing point via irradiation with a 365 nm LED laser. The phosphorylated peptides were specifically concentrated in the Phos-tag acrylamide gel by applying a voltage across the gel plug. After entrapment of the phosphorylated compounds in the Phos-tag acrylamide gel, 5-(4,6-dichlorotriazinyl)aminofluorescein (DTAF) was introduced to the gel for online derivatization of the concentrated phosphorylated compounds. The online derivatized DTAF-labeled phosphorylated compounds were eluted by delivering a complex of phosphate ions and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid as the separation buffer. This method enabled sensitive analysis of the phosphorylated peptides.

A new method is presented for the isolation of an enriched fraction of mouse myocardial gap junctions without the use of exogenous proteases. The junctions appear well preserved morphologically and similar to their appearance in situ. Contaminants of the preparation include fragments of the fascia adherens region of the intercalated disk. SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the preparation reveals seven major bands with apparent mol wt of 28,000; 31,000; 33,500; 43,000; 47,000; 49,000; and 57,000. Only the bands at 38,000; 31,000; 33,500; and possibly the diffuse band at 47,000 copurify with the morphologically assayed gap junctions. Evidence is presented that the peptides at 43,000 and 57,000 are contained within the contaminating fascia adherens.
