Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has proven useful for the study of reversible molecular interactions. This is because highly efficient and reproducible separations take place in an environment where molecular interactions may contribute to selectivity without being inhibited by adverse buffer conditions. Affinity CE may be used to estimate quantitative binding data (binding constants and in some cases binding stoichiometries and rate constants) for various molecular interactions. Specific binding interactions (e.g., based on antibodies or aptamers) may also be utilized to quantitatively measure specific analytes using CE. Applications within these areas are here reviewed with focus on the last three years and with emphasis on novel concepts as well as innovative methodology and technology. It is concluded that the affinity CE approach is of growing versatility and will continue to play an integral role in discovering, characterizing, and exploiting biomolecular interactions.
