Abstract:
1. A method for enriching phosphorylated compounds in a sample, said method comprising the steps of: providing said sample containing the phosphorylated compounds; contacting said sample with an enrichment material comprising a metal oxide mesoporous material generated via controlled hydrolysis of metal salts templated using nanoscale micellular structures, said metal oxide mesoporous material having a plurality of pores with cross sectional dimensions selected over the range of 2 to 50 nm provided in a well ordered hexagonal or cubic bicontinuous network, thereby providing an active area of exposed surfaces greater than or equal to 50 m separating said phosphorylated compounds bound to the metal oxide mesoporous material from at least a portion of the sample; and releasing the phosphorylated compounds bound to the metal oxide mesoporous material from the metal oxide mesoporous material, thereby enriching said phosphorylated compounds in the sample.
