RESUMEN
In this study, a novel amino acid and ionic liquid dual organically functionalized reagents modified polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane methacryl substituted (POSS-MA) based hybrid monolithic column (POSS-VBI-Cys) was designed and reported. With amino acid L-cysteine and ionic liquid 1-vinyl-3-butylimidazolium bromide as dual monomers, POSS-MA as the crosslinker, the new POSS-VBI-Cys hybrid monolithic column could be facilely fabricated via the "one-pot" free radical copolymerization and thiol-ene click reaction. Because of the introduction of polar amino acid L-cysteine, the new POSS-VBI-Cys column exhibited attenuated hydrophobicity in reversed-phase liquid chromatography separation. Polar amides, nucleosides and nucleic acid bases displayed strong retention on the POSS-VBI-Cys column and could be successfully separated. Furthermore, the new POSS-VBI-Cys column displayed good separation selectivity for model glycoproteins and non-glycoproteins mixture and it was also successfully used for the purification and separation of TARG1 protein from its originally expressed sample. In the future research, we will further exploit its performances for separation of intact proteins and in-depth proteome applications.

In this study, multi-acrylate based dipentaerythritol penta-/hexa-acrylate (DPEPA) was exploited for fabrication of highly cross-linked hybrid monolithic column by copolymerization with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane methacryl substituted (POSS-MA) via a "one-pot" method. The new DPEPA-POSS hybrid monolithic column was respectively characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurement. When it was used for the separation of amides, thioureas and positional isomers of phenols, ultrahigh column efficiency separation (up to 511,000 N m-1) was achieved with excellent selectivity. Moreover, intact protein standards could be efficiently separated with minimum tailing peaks, outperforming the commercially available silica-based C8 column. Furthermore, successful separation of complex egg white proteins and expressed BARD1 BRCT domains protein sample was also achieved with good chromatographic performance. In the future work, the DPEPA-POSS hybrid monolithic column will be further exploited and applied in capillary electrochromatography as well as the top-down based proteome research.
