Abstract

Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) are potential bioseparation techniques in industry. However, a key problem is that aqueous two-phase systems could not be effectively recycled to result in high cost and environment pollution. Recently, how to prepare recycling copolymers forming aqueous two-phase systems is focused on in the area. In this study, a light-sensitive copolymer (P(NNC)) was synthesized by using N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA), N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP), chlorophyllin sodium copper salt (CHL) as monomers. The copolymer P(NNC) can form ATPSs with another novel pH-sensitive copolymer (P(ADB)) which was synthesized by co-worker in our laboratory. Over 98% of the P(NNC) copolymer could be recovered by using laser radiation at 488 nm. The copolymer P(ADB) could be recovered by adjusting the isoelectric point (pI) to 4.1, with a recovery of 97%. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) and Tyr were partitioned in the P(NNC)-P(ADB) aqueous two-phase systems to examine the systems. It was found that partition coefficient of BSA and L-Tyr could reach 4.1 and 0.12 in the systems, respectively.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
