Abstract

Gel filtration chromatographs of lipoproteins represent a superposition, or convolution, of the intrinsic polydispersity of the solute and the dispersion due to transport phenomena. We describe a deconvolution technique for improving the resolution of gel filtration chromatographs applicable to lipoproteins and other polydisperse solutes. A matrix of spreading functions, characterizing the dispersive properties of the column, was determined by fitting chromatographic data from a series of monodisperse standards with the solution to the transport equations and interpolating between the fit parameters. A successive approximation scheme was used in which a test distribution was incrementally corrected by an amount proportional to the error between the measured chromatograph and that derived from the test distribution. A nonlinear relaxing function was used to constrain the correction term such that the solution remained physically realizable (i.e., nonnegative absorbance) as it evolved. Deconvolved chromatographs of lipoproteins provided resolution of peaks that were obscured by spreading in the original data. The distribution of particle sizes within each fraction was calculated and verified experimentally by further separating t...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
