    Abstract The choice of alternative materials over stainless steel hardware in the construction of liquid chromatography systems has unveiled the degree to which nonspecific adsorption impacts the reproducibility of LC methods. Some of the major contributors to nonspecific adsorption losses are charged metallic surfaces and leached metallic impurities, that may interact with the analyte and result in analyte loss and overall poor chromatographic performance. In this review, we describe several mitigation strategies available to chromatographers to minimize nonspecific adsorption to chromatographic systems. Alternative surfaces to stainless steel such as titanium, PEEK, and hybrid surface technologies are discussed. Furthermore, mobile phase additives used to prevent metal ion-analyte interactions are reviewed. Nonspecific adsorption of analytes is not reserved to metallic surfaces, as analytes may adsorb to the surfaces of filters, tubes, and pipette tips during sample preparation. Identifying the source of nonspecific interactions is paramount, as mitigation strategies may differ depending on what stage nonspecific losses are taking place. With this in mind, we discuss diagnostic methods that may help the chromatographer to differentiate losses resulting from sample preparation, and losses during LC runs.

    Abstract Therapeutic messenger RNAs (mRNAs) have emerged as powerful tools in the treatment of complex diseases, especially for conditions that lack efficacious treatment. The successful application of this modality can be attributed to its ability to encode entire proteins. While the large nature of these molecules has supported their success as therapeutics, its extended size creates several analytical challenges. To further support therapeutic mRNA development and its deployment in clinical trials, appropriate methods to support their characterization must be developed. In this review, we describe current analytical methods that have been used in the characterization of RNA quality, identity, and integrity. Advantages and limitations from several analytical techniques ranging from gel electrophoresis to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and from shotgun sequencing to intact mass measurements are discussed. We comprehensively describe the application of analytical methods in the measurements of capping efficiency, poly A tail analysis, as well as their applicability in stability studies.

    Abstract While the most sensitive LC-MS methods for oligonucleotide analysis contain ion-pairs in the mobile phase, these modifiers have been associated with instrument contamination and ion suppression. Typically, entire LC-MS systems are reserved for oligonucleotide LC-MS when using ion-pairing buffers. To overcome these limitations, numerous HILIC methods, liberated from ion-pairs, have been recently developed. Since ion-pairs play a role in analyte desorption from ESI droplets, their removal from mobile phases tend to impact method sensitivity. An effective way to recover MS sensitivity is to reduce the LC flow rate and therefore reduce ESI droplet size. With a focus on MS sensitivity, this study investigates the applicability of a microflow LC- nanoelectrospray MS platform in oligonucleotide ion-pair RP and HILIC LC-MS methods. The platform is effective and substantially increased the MS sensitivity of HILIC methods. Furthermore, LC method development for both types of separations provide insight into microflow chromatography of oligonucleotides, an under investigated chromatographic scale.

    Abstract The implementation of fluoroalcohol/alkylamine mobile phase systems in oligonucleotide LC-MS provides a good balance between chromatographic separations and MS sensitivity. Since its introduction, several parameters including mobile phase composition, additive concentration, alkylamine hydrophobicity, and different fluoroalcohols have been carefully evaluated and optimized. While our understanding of this mobile phase system has increased over the years, there are challenges that continue to hinder method performance and remain poorly understood. One of these challenges is the constant loss of MS sensitivity over time, commonly termed mobile phase aging. This study investigates two aging mechanisms associated with loss of MS sensitivity: alkylamine oxidation and aggregate formation. The relationship between pH, organic solvent, oxygen, and mobile phase aging is characterized, and mitigation strategies to extend mobile phase lifetime are discussed.

    Abstract Rationale: Cationic adduction causes poor sensitivity and increases spectral complexity during mass spectral analysis of oligonucleotides and alkylamines are used to reduce this adduction. It is unclear the effect of the physiochemical properties of the alkylamines on the reduction of the cationic adduction.
    Methods: All samples were directly infused into a Synapt G2 HDMS quadrupole time-of-flight (TOF) hybrid mass spectrometer in negative ion electrospray ionization mode through the native built-in fluidics system. The infusion flow rate was set to 50 μL/min. The TOFMS tuning parameters were as follows: capillary voltage -2.0 kV, cone voltage 25 V, extraction cone voltage 2 V, source temperature 125°C, desolvation temperature 450°C, cone gas flow rate 0 L/h, and desolvation gas (nitrogen) flow rate 1000 L/h.
    Results: A quantitative model was created to predict the optimized alkylamine for MS analysis, while a qualitative model was generated to explain the most important physiochemical properties: proton affinity (13.83%), gas-phase basicity (11.79%), pKa (11.47%), boiling point (10.73%), MW (10.3%), Henry's Law Constant (9.56%), and partition coefficient (logP) (9.44%). The quantitative model was applied to RNA (microRNA) and a phosphorothioate and predicts the trend of cationic adduction.
    Conclusions: Two models are described to understand the physiochemical properties that contribute to the adduction and to provide users a quick mathematical tool to predict the best choice of alkylamine to lower cationic adduction and decrease spectral complexity while enhancing sensitivity.

    Abstract We apply a new method for learning equations from data -- Exhaustive Symbolic Regression (ESR) -- to late-type galaxy dynamics as encapsulated in the radial acceleration relation (RAR). Relating the centripetal acceleration due to baryons, $g_\text{bar}$, to the total dynamical acceleration, $g_\text{obs}$, the RAR has been claimed to manifest a new law of nature due to its regularity and tightness, in agreement with Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). Fits to this relation have been restricted by prior expectations to particular functional forms, while ESR affords an exhaustive and nearly prior-free search through functional parameter space to identify the equations optimally trading accuracy with simplicity. Working with the SPARC data, we find the best functions typically satisfy $g_\text{obs} \propto g_\text{bar}$ at high $g_\text{bar}$, although the coefficient of proportionality is not clearly unity and the deep-MOND limit $g_\text{obs} \propto \sqrt{g_\text{bar}}$ as $g_\text{bar} \to 0$ is little evident at all. By generating mock data according to MOND with or without the external field effect, we find that symbolic regression would not be expected to identify the generating function or reconstruct successfully the asymptotic slopes. We conclude that the limited dynamical range and significant uncertainties of the SPARC RAR preclude a definitive statement of its functional form, and hence that this data alone can neither demonstrate nor rule out law-like gravitational behaviour.

    Abstract When choosing between competing symbolic models for a data set, a human will naturally prefer the "simpler" expression or the one which more closely resembles equations previously seen in a similar context. This suggests a non-uniform prior on functions, which is, however, rarely considered within a symbolic regression (SR) framework. In this paper we develop methods to incorporate detailed prior information on both functions and their parameters into SR. Our prior on the structure of a function is based on a $n$-gram language model, which is sensitive to the arrangement of operators relative to one another in addition to the frequency of occurrence of each operator. We also develop a formalism based on the Fractional Bayes Factor to treat numerical parameter priors in such a way that models may be fairly compared though the Bayesian evidence, and explicitly compare Bayesian, Minimum Description Length and heuristic methods for model selection. We demonstrate the performance of our priors relative to literature standards on benchmarks and a real-world dataset from the field of cosmology.
