Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) have  emerged as a powerful extraction method for the downstream processing of bio-molecules. The aim of this work was to investigate the possibility of utilizing ATPS for the separation of recombinant Bacillus sphaericus phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PheDH). Polyethylene glycol (PEG) and ammonium sulfate systems were selected for our experi...

This paper studies the Rayleigh-Plateau instability for co-flowing immiscible aqueous polymer solutions in a microfluidic channel. Careful vibration-free experiments with controlled actuation of the flow allowed direct measurement of the growth rate of this instability. Experiments for the well-known aqueous two phase system (ATPS, or aqueous biphasic systems) of dextran and polyethylene glycol...

Momordica charantia, commonly known as karela or bitter melon, is used as a vegetable in Chinese, Indian subcontinent. However, in Chinese traditional medicine, the plant is usually used as an antidiabetic agent. One of the active components is charantin. Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) were used for the purifying saponin because of their low cost. ATPS can reduce amount of organic solvent and...

Aqueous Two-Phase Systems (ATPS) are aqueous droplets dispersed in an phase. This specific behavior arises from interactions between at least two water-soluble entities, such as thermodynamically incompatible polymers. A simple, fast, and “green” process to produce ATPS with core would be of high interest the pharmaceutical field for drug delivery. However, date, rapid destabilization represent...

A single-step selective separation of two food additives was investigated using alcohol-salt aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS). The selective partitioning of two of the most used additives from a processed food waste material, vanillin and l-ascorbic acid, was successfully accomplished. The results obtained prove that alcohol-salt ATPS can be easily applied as cheaper processes for the selective...

phenylalanine dehydrogenase (phedh; ec 1.4.1.20) is an important enzyme of amino acid dehydrogenases family that increasingly used as a valuable biocatalyst in neonatal screening kits and synthesis of l-phenylalanine. the goal of this literature was to find a suitable purification method for recombinant bacillus badius phedh by practical comparison between chromatographic and polyvinyl pyrrolid...

The objective of this study was to determine the thermodynamic parameters (Delta(tr)G, Delta(tr)H and Delta(tr)S) associated with lysozyme and conalbumin partitioning in aqueous two-phases systems (ATPS). Influence of salt type and polyethylene glycol (PEG) concentrations on the partition coefficient of lysozyme and conalbumin from egg white was studied. The evaluated ATPS were composed of PEG ...

growing applications of phenylalanine dehydrogenase (phedh) enzyme in the medical and pharmaceutical industries encourages researchers to seek simple, fast and economical alternative purification methods. with goal of finding a new technique, the extraction and purification of recombinant bacillus badius phedh in polyethylene glycol 6000 (peg-6000) and ammonium sulfate aqueous two-phase systems...

The construction of genetically encoded cellular mimics in compartments containing organized synthetic cytosols is desirable for the development of artificial cells. Phase separated aqueous domains were placed within water-in-oil emulsion droplets in a manner compatible with transcription and translation machinery. Aqueous two-phase and three-phase systems (ATPS and A3PS) were assembled with de...

For a multiproduct microalgal biorefinery, most of the cell components should be extracted and fractionated. This work investigates fractionation lipids from other (pigments, proteins, carbohydrates) using polymers IL solutions in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS). The poorly migrated to phases ATPS were recovered (97% total fatty acids) third phase (interphase) formed between top bottom phases....
