ABSTRACT
In this study, we developed physically adsorbed multi-layer coatings using poly-l-lysine or poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) and gold nanoparticles, which were functionalized with bovine serum albumin for the chiral separation in electrochromatography. The approach involves sequentially depositing positively charged polymers and negatively charged citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles. By repeating this modification cycle, we created two- and four-layer coatings, which were sequentially functionalized with albumin forming three- and five-layer coatings that were finally applied for the separation of enantiomers of dl-tryptophan. The formed coatings exhibit stability across a pH range of 2-10 and feature a dense, uniform surface, as confirmed by scanning electron microscope images. The number of layers impacted nanoparticle deposition density, with five-layer coatings being denser than three-layer ones. Five-layer coatings enable baseline separation of dl-tryptophan enantiomers, whereas three-layer coatings require the presence of albumin in the background electrolyte for separation. Therefore, increasing the number of layers and gold nanoparticles density enhances albumin active center concentration on capillary walls, improving the separation of dl-tryptophan enantiomers. The five-layer coatings can be easily fabricated and possess good repeatability of analytes migration time.
