The lines depict the 1 D-LC performance. The closed circles represent the RP(pH)8)/×/RP(pH)2) performance collecting discrete numbers of fractions (two and more). It is evident that below 45 min the highest � is obtained using 50 mm long monolithic columns in the 1 D-LC mode. This yields a maximum peak capacity of 320. At a total analysis time of 70 min, 50 mm and 250 mm long monolithic columns show comparable performance. For 1 D-LC analysis longer than 70 min, the 250 mm monolithic column provides the �. The maximum 1 D-LC peak capacity of 475 can be achieved within 3 h. However, the � is much smaller than what can be realized by LC/×/LC. A peak capacity of 480 7020 <strong>Analytical</strong> <strong>Chemistry</strong>, Vol. 82, No. 16, August 15, 2010 can already be achieved in 60 min using LC/×/LC when analyzing only three 1 D fractions. The peak capacity linearly increases with the number of fractions collected and approximately doubles every 60 min. CONCLUDING REMARKS An approach to select column dimensions and LC conditions in LC/×/LC to maximize � have been demonstrated. Although the LC/×/LC optimization strategy has been performed with monolithic columns, this approach can be used when applying other types of LC columns. At undersampling conditions, the 1 D separation performance is subsidiary of sampling rate. As a result, a short first-dimension analysis time is optimal. This can be achieved using short 1 D column length and applying a short 1 tG. The optimal 2 tG depends on 2 D column length and on sampling rate. The optimal 2 tG shift to lower values when shorter 2 D columns are used yields higher values for �. For separations requiring a maximum peak capacity up to 340, 1 D-LC using a 50 mm long monolithic column was found to be superior to LC/×/LC in terms of analysis time. For more demanding separations, 250 mm long monoliths can be used, applying longer gradient times (nc, max = 475). However, the � in LC/×/LC is superior for an analysis taking longer than 60 min (collecting three fractions and more), and the achievable peak capacity increases linearly with analysis time.

Box 100266, Gainesville, Florida 32610, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, 7000 East Avenue, Livermore, California 94551 Enzymes and membrane protein receptors represent almost three-quarters of all current drug targets. As a result, it would be beneficial to have a platform to produce them in a high-throughput format for drug screening. We have developed a miniaturized fluid array device for cellfree protein synthesis, and the device was exploited to produce both soluble and membrane proteins. Two membrane-associated proteins, bacteriorhodopsin and ApoA lipoprotein, were coexpressed in an expression medium in the presence of lipids. Simultaneous expression of ApoA lipoprotein enhanced the solubility of bacteriorhodopsin and would facilitate functional studies. In addition, the device was employed to produce two enzymes, luciferase and �-lactamase, both of which were demonstrated to be compatible with enzyme inhibition assays. �-lactamase, a drug target associated with antibiotic resistance, was further used to show the capability of the device for drug screening. �-Lactamase was synthesized in the 96 units of the device and then assayed by a range of concentrations of four mock drug compounds without harvesting and purification. The inhibitory effects of these compounds on �-lactamase were measured in a parallel format, and the degree in their drug effectiveness agreed well with the data in the literature. This work demonstrated the feasibility of the use of the fluid array device and cell-free protein expression for drug screening, with advantages in less reagent consumption, shorter analysis time, and higher throughput. There is an escalating need to discover new drug targets for various diseases that impact the quality of life of countless individuals. Once a target is validated, it is necessary to find drug candidates by screening a large library of compounds. For both target discovery and drug screening, novel platforms such as highthroughput screening (HTS) are required in the modern pharmaceutical era. 1-3 * To whom correspondence should be addressed.

Although cell-based HTS has become increasingly popular due to its ability to deliver phenotype information at the cellular level, there is still a considerable need to have innovative platforms that provide biological and chemical information at the molecular level. 4 Cell-based screening can result in “off target hits” because different portions of a cellular process other than the target could be affected by library compounds. 5 In addition, those compounds that cause cytotoxicity would result in reduced signal even though they do not inhibit the desired target. 5 Galarneau et al. showed a great example that both cell-free and cell-based assays were required to provide complementary and indispensible information for their study in protein-protein interactions. 4 Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) is a platform technology that addresses the shortcomings mentioned above for cell-based assays. CFPS utilizes an efficient, often-coupled transcription and translation reaction to produce recombinant proteins. 6-12 It eliminates the time-consuming steps of conventional cell-based protein production, including transformation, cell culture maintenance, and expression optimization. The proteins synthesized could be used for functional and structural studies, drug screening, and other applications. Since there is no cellular control mechanism, CFPS will not suffer from cytotoxicity or other challenges associated with cell-based protein expression (e.g., inclusion body). 6 A large number of soluble proteins have been synthesized using CFPS, and many of them are enzymes and functionally active. 13 More importantly, CFPS is an open system and, thus, can be modified by simply adding various components. This open nature has been used for producing membrane proteins. Lipids, liposome, and lipoprotein particles have been introduced into the cell-free (3) Pereira, D. A.; Williams, J. A. Br. J.
