Abstract
The suitability of affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) and frontal analysis continuous capillary electrophoresis (FACCE) for binding constant determination was investigated for complexes between heparin fragments and antithrombin III, one of the main target proteins in the coagulation cascade. In a 100 mM ionic strength phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), ACE was suitable to determine weak to medium interactions developed by short oligomeric heparin fragments, but it failed for decasaccharide, which presents a more complex irreversible interaction. However FACCE allowed evaluating the binding constant for these longer oligomeric fragments. Both experimental approaches were complementary for a wide variety of heparinic fragments.
