Liquid-liquid phase separation in biology.

چکیده
Cells organize many of their biochemical reactions in non-membrane compartments. Recent evidence has shown that many of these compartments are liquids that form by phase separation from the cytoplasm. Here we discuss the basic physical concepts necessary to understand the consequences of liquid-like states for biological functions.

Separation of Sedative – Hypnotic Drugs with Mixed Micellar Liquid Chromatography
Separation of ten sedative- hypnotic drugs was performed by RP-HPLC using mixed micellar mobile phase. Effect of temperature, type and amount of organic modifier in mobile phase on efficiency (N) and asymmetry factor (B/A) showed that, the appropriate conditions for a good separation were 35°C and 7% (V/V) butanol in mobile phase. Variations of selectivity factor versus butanol concent...
متن کاملSupported Liquid Membrane in Metal Ion Separation: An Overview
Using liquid membrane and, in particular, supported liquid membrane (SLM) is a novel method of separation in comparison to other methods such as adsorption, extraction and ion exchange. SLM is a combination of simultaneous extraction and disposal whose high efciency and capability is proven by many studies. So far, many researchers have utilized SLM in various scientifc...
متن کاملPhysical separation of amphiprotic-polar aprotic solvents for simultaneous extraction and clean-up of clomiphene from plasma before liquid chromatographic analyzes
An efficient and quantitative two phase freezing (TPF) method coupled with high performance liquid chromatography and UV-Vis detector was developed for the extraction, clean up and determination of clomiphene citrate (CLC) in plasma samples. The separation of two miscible solvents by TPF method permits that the CLC was efficiently removed from proteins and transferred into the relative aprotic ...

متن کاملSeparation of Formic Acid from Aqueous Solutions by Liquid Extraction Technique at Different Temperatures
In this study, the separation of formic acid from aqueous solutions was investigated. Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data including tie-lines was reported for water + formic acid + 2-methylpropyl ethanoate ternary mixture at (293.15 to 323.15) K and atmospheric pressure. The system shows type-I phase behavior based on Treybal’s classification because only one partially miscible binary mixture ...
متن کاملThe Effect of pH on the Liquid-liquid Equilibrium for a System Containing Polyethylene Glycol Di-methyl Ether and Tri-potassium Citrate and its Application for Acetaminophen Separation
In this work liquid-liquid equilibrium for aqueous two phase system composed of polyethylene glycol di-methyl ether and tri-potassium citrate at different medium pH values (6.00, 7.00 and 8.00) and 298.15 K was studied. The obtained results show that two phase area expanded with an increasing of pH values. The performances of the Merchuk and semi-empirical equations were tested in correlating t...
