Micro-Scale Frontal Affinity Chromatography with Mass Spectrometric Detection: A New Method for the Screening of Compound Libraries

Abstract
In one run the binding constants Kd for all the active components of a ligand library at sub-microgram quantities can be determined. A mixture of ligands is continuously infused through a column of immobilized receptor, and the eluent analyzed by electrospray mass spectrometry. From the affinity chromatogram produced (see picture) the breakthrough volume of a single compound and hence its Kd value can be determined.
