Cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis were determined by hydrocarbon adherence, hydrophobic interaction, and electrostatic interaction chromatography. Surface charge and hydrophobicity were compared with the initial attachmen...

The hydrophobic character of the membrane-bound enzyme, adenylate cyclase, was investigated by examining its interaction with a variety of noncharged hydrophobic resins consisting of long chain alkyl groups linked to Sepharose via ether bonds. Either dodecyl or cetyl resins effected the separation of cyclase from more hydrophobic proteins while octyl-, hexyl-, and butyl-Sepharose did not preven...

in this research, the interaction of hexadecyl trimahyl ammonium bromide (htab) with enzyme ureasehas been investigated comprehensively at different experimental conditions such as ionic strength, proteinconcentration using ion selective membrane electrode of surfactants. the obtained binding isotherms frompotentiometnc studies have been analyzed by different theories such as wyman binding pote...

Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) was first introduced by Alpert in 1990 [...]

A new preparative method for isolation of human urinary erythropoietin (Ep) has been developed using hydrophobic interaction chromatography on Phenyl-Sepharose CL4B. Crude urine and urine concentrates from anemic patients were used directly without prior manipulation. In addition to facilitating hydrophobic interactions, Phenyl-Sepharose provided pi-pi interactions between its phenyl group on t...

Flavobacterium heparinum is a soil bacterium that produces several mucopolysaccharidases such as heparinase, heparitinases I and II, and chondroitinases AC, B, C and ABC. The purpose of the present study was to optimize the preparation of F. heparinum chondroitinases, which are very useful tools for the identification and structural characterization of chondroitin and dermatan sulfates. We obse...

Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) is presented as a suitable method to determine the surface hydrophobicity of colloidal drug carriers. The experimental design is described in great detail Results obtained with surface-modified polystyrene particles as model carriers and parenteral fat emulsions are discussed as examples. HIC was able to distinguish between particles chemically modif...

The effectiveness of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is governed not only by their bioactivity, but also by their biophysical properties. Assays for rapidly evaluating the biophysical properties of mAbs are valuable for identifying those most likely to exhibit superior properties such as high solubility, low viscosity and slow serum clearance. Analytical hydrophobic interaction chromat...

Chromatographic columns packed with commercially available hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) media were found to be able to suppress aggregation and nevertheless had a tendency to promote the structural misfolding resulting in higher soluble protein recovery and lower specific activity than that by dilution when they were used to refold lysozyme, a model protein. Moreover, this misfo...

This study describes an adaptation of hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) that can be used to estimate protein solubility optima. The method does not support determination of absolute, e.g. quantitative solubility, however it does provide a basis for identifying the salt concentration, pH, or additive concentrations that support the highest relative solubility. The magnitude of a given...
