The partitioning of the whey protein lactoferrin, which is an iron transporter glycoprotein, in an aqueous two-phase system composed of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and sodium citrate was evaluated. Equilibrium data at 25 °C were determined for each system studied using PEG with a molar mass of 1000 and 4000 g·mol1 at pH values of 5.5, 6.5, and 7.5. An increase in the molar mass of the polymer promoted the expan...
Partitioning of a homologous series of dinitrophenylted (DNP-) amino acids with aliphatic side chains was examined in aqueous polyethylene glycol (PEG)-8000–sodium sulfate two-phase systems (ATPS) with the additives NaSCN, NaClO4, and NaH2PO4 at concentrations varied from 0.025 M up to 0.54 M. The differences between the relative hydrophobicities and electrostatic properties of the two phases in all ATPS were e...
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) with average molecular weight of 8000 was used as a model polymer and modified by introducing an amino acid (phenylalanine) in its hydroxyl terminals. The effect of different percentages of the conjugate polymer in relation to the total polymer on binodal curve of PEG-8000–potassium phosphate buffer (KPB), pH 7.2 aqueous two-phase systems and solute partitioning was explored. The parti...
The concentrations of all components in the phases of aqueous two-phase polyethylene glycol–sodium sulfate system of a fixed composition with different concentrations of NaCl additive were determined. Solvatochromic solvent features of aqueous media in the phases of all the systems were characterized in terms of solvent dipolarity/polarizability, solvent hydrogen bond donor acidity and hydrogen bond acceptor ba...
Partition of 12 nonionic organic compounds in aqueous PEG-8000–Na2SO4 two-phase system was examined. Effects of four salt additives (NaCl, NaSCN, NaClO4, and NaH2PO4) in the concentration range from 0.027 up to ca. 1.9 M on binodal curve of PEG-sulfate two-phase system and solute partitioning were explored. It was found that different salt additives at the relatively high concentrations display different effect...
The effect of added salt (NaCl or KCl) on the polyethylene glycol 8000 (PEG)−sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) aqueous two-phase system (ATPS), containing 0.01 mol·L−1 of sodium phosphate buffer (NaPB), pH 7.4, has been investigated at 296.15 K. Phase diagrams determined by the cloud point method, including tie-lines assigned from mass phase ratios according to the lever arm rule, are presented for the different PEG 8000...
The relative hydrophobicity of the phases of several {polyethylene glycol (PEG) 8000 + sodium sulfate (Na2SO4)} aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs), all containing 0.01 mol.L-1 sodium phosphate buffer (NaPB, pH 7.4) and increasing concentration of a salt additive, NaCl or KCl, up to 1.0 mol.L-1, was measured by the free energy of transfer of a methylene group between the phases, DG(CH2). The DG(CH2) of the system...
