On the utility of predictive chromatography to complement mass spectrometry based intact protein identification

Yury Tsybin, Hisham Ben Hamidane

The amino acid sequence determines the individual protein three-dimensional structure and its functioning in an organism. Therefore, "reading" a protein sequence and determining its changes due to mutations or post-translational modifications is one of the ...

Phase separation in binary eye lens protein mixtures

Giuseppe Foffi, Nicolas Dorsaz

Liquid–liquid phase separation occurs in young mammalian eye lenses and in concentrated solutions of isolated eye lens proteins, and has been linked to some forms of cataract. Here we study theoretically the protein compositions and cloud temperatures of t ...

The affinity precipitation for the isolation of biomolecules

Gisela Stocker Majd

Product isolation increasingly becomes a major bottleneck in molecular biotechnology. This is especially the case for the sensitive proteineous substances (recombinant proteins, antibodies) and lately also DNA, usually produced in low concentration. The cu ...
