Resolution of substance separation by liquid chromatography (LC) has been based on thermodynamic parameter of partition coefficient of the substance by keeping dynamic factor as constant, resulting in LC to greatly contribute to pure and applied sciences. However, many problems appear in practice, such as vague nomenclature of irregular sample, hidden, overlapping peptide peaks, and so on. The purpose of the presentation is to explore a new approach for solving these problems by dynamic separation with a minor-adjustment of the retention of peptides, induced by varying the mobile phase flow-rate (MPF-R). The retention characteristics of peptides under gradient elution in RPLC was firstly found to be dominated by two variables of the steady region (SR) and migration region (MR). The changes in peptide retention induced by varying the MPF-R can be attributed to changes in the rate of bond breaking of multiple molecular interactions of peptides from the SR and of the mass transfer of peptides from the stationary phase to the mobile phase in the MR. The two dynamic variables were also found to independently depend on the type of peptide. Desirable results were obtained using six standard oligopeptides and a real sample of trypsin-digested lysozyme. It is expected that the quality control of peptide drugs, high dispersion of peptide peaks in peptide mapping and “bottom”.
