Summary
Several mobile phase parameters were investigated for controlling enantioselective retention and resolution on a chiral stationary phase made in-house. The chiral selector was the enzyme amyloglucosidase, which was immobilized onto a silica support via reductive amination. The influences of the mobile phase pH, concentration and type of uncharged organic modifier, ionic strength and column temperature on enantios-electivity were studied. The analysis time for resolving enantiomers could be adjusted with only a minor decrease in enantioselectivity by using a high ionic strength mobile phase buffer. This indicated a retention mechanism involving ion-exchange interactions. It was further confirmed by the decreasing enantioselectivity of amines when using a mobile phase pH below the isoelectric point of the native protein. Interesting effects were observed when the organic modifier concentration was increased and also when the column temperature was raised. Both retention and enantioselectivity increased with increasing concentration of 2-propanol in the mobile phase. Examples are given where both enantioselectivity and retention increased with increasing column temperature. Thermodynamic studies were performed to calculate the entropy and enthalpy constants. The results showed that, depending on mobile phase composition, the enantioselective retention may be caused by differences in entropy or enthalpy.
