Protein behavior in Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography using different chromatographic conditions was investigated. A linear correlation was found between protein retention time on different matrixes and different initial elution salt concentrations. Mathematical correlations between retention times under different chromatographic conditions were obtained and validated, which can be used in...

CL307-24, a complex of new antibiotics has been isolated from the fermentation broth of Saccharopolyspora aurantiaca sp. nov. The complex was purified by cation-exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatographies. It was then resolved as one major and three minor components by silica gel chromatography and HPLC.

Lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) were purified from Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis ATCC 15808 and its LL-H adsorption-resistant mutant, Ads-5, by hydrophobic interaction chromatography. L. delbrueckii phages (LL-H, the LL-H host range mutant, and JCL1032) were inactivated by these poly(glycerophosphate) type of LTAs in vitro in accordance to their adsorption to intact ATCC 15808 and Ads-5 cells.

There is no other naturally occurring defense agent against cancer that has a stronger effectthan paclitaxel, commonly known under the brand name of Taxol®. The major drawback for themore widespread use of paclitaxel and its precious precursor, 10-deacetylbaccatin III (10-DABIII), is that they require large-scale extraction from different parts of yew trees (Taxus species),cell cultures, taxane...

Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) is a chromatographic technique that mainly targets the separation of biomolecules (intact proteins, monoclonal antibodies, etc.) based on difference in surface hydrophobicity while applying non-denaturing conditions. This protocol paper provides guidelines for setting-up robust HIC analysis and considers instrument configuration, mobile-phase sample ...

The so-called island model of protein structural transition holds that hydrophobic interactions are the key to both the folding and function of proteins. Herein, the genesis and statistical mechanical basis of the island model of transitions are reviewed, by presenting the results of simulations of such transitions. Elucidating the physicochemical mechanism of protein structural formation is th...

Membrane chromatography has already proven to be a powerful alternative to polishing columns in flow-through mode for contaminant removal. As flow-through utilization has expanded, membrane chromatography applications have included the capturing of large molecules, including proteins such as IgGs. Such bind-and-elute applications imply the demand for high binding capacity and larger membrane su...

It is well established that salt enhances the interaction between solutes (e.g., proteins, displacers) and the weak hydrophobic ligands in hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) and that various salts (e.g., kosmotropes, chaotropes, and neutral) have different effects on protein retention. In this article, the solute affinity in kosmotropic, chaotropic, and neutral mobile phases are compa...

The surface hydrophobicity of nine Bacillus subtilis strains in different states (spores, vegetative cells, and dead cells) was assessed by water contact angle measurements, hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) and bacterial adhesion to hydrocarbon (BATH). Electrokinetic properties of B. subtilis strains were characterized by zeta potential measurements and found to differ appreciably a...
