Abstract
Interest in the use of capillary electrophoresis (CE) as a tool for protein separations continues to grow. Additionally, laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection schemes promise ultrasensitive detection of small quantities of these important biomolecules following their separation. In most cases, LIF detection of proteins necessitates their prior derivatization with a fluorescent label molecule. To minimize the amount of additional sample handling and time associated with such labeling procedures, not to mention the sometimes-stringent pH and temperature controls they require, noncovalent labeling is presented as a viable alternative. This review article considers established methods for noncovalent labeling of proteins for their subsequent analysis by CE-LIF. Label molecules suitable for excitation and emission in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions of the spectrum are enumerated for a variety of protein analytes.
