Aqueous two phase extraction of proteins: From molecular understanding to process development

A high throughput screening method was implemented and applied to an industrial separation task. Previously reported correlations between protein descriptors and distribution were evaluated. A new approach to screen ATPS for their industrial application was devised and put to use for the selection of ATPSs used in centrifugal partitioning chromatography. A new modeling approach based on molecular dynamics was set up. This approach was validated using single PEG molecules in solution.
