Elements derived from lentiviral particles such as viral vectors or virus-like particles are commonly used for biotechnological and biomedical applications, for example in mammalian protein expression, gene delivery or therapy, and vaccine development. Preparations of high purity are necessary in most cases, especially for clinical applications. For purification, a wide range of methods are ava...

Polymeric nanoparticles have become indispensable in modern society with a wide array of applications ranging from waterborne coatings to drug-carrier-delivery systems. While a large range of techniques exist to determine a multitude of properties of these particles, relating physicochemical properties of the particle to the chemical structure of the intrinsic polymers is still challenging. A n...

Orange peel molasses, a byproduct of juice production, contains high concentrations of phenols, including numerous flavanone and flavone glycosides, polymethoxylated flavones, hydroxycinnamates, and other miscellaneous phenolic glycosides and amines. Extensive fractionation of these phenols was achieved by adsorption, ion exchange, and size exclusion chromatography. Size exclusion chromatograph...

In polymer chromatography, chain molecules are separated by molecular weight, size, and chemical composition due to adsorption and exclusion in nanoporous substrates. Three regimes of separation are distinguished depending on the adsorption strength and the pore size. In the regime of size exclusion chromatography, the adsorption energy is weak and the separation is entropy-driven with larger m...

Three extracellular cellulose-depolymerizing enzymes from cotton undergoing decay by the brown rot fungus Meruliporia (Serpula) incrassata were isolated by anion-exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatographies. Depolymerization was detected by analyzing the changes in the molecular size distribution of cotton cellulose by high-performance size-exclusion chromatography. The average degree ...

The mechanism of exclusion-sorption interaction of insulin-containing proteins with the column support in accordance with the chemical and three-dimensional structure in native and denaturating conditions was observed. The mechanisms of weak adsorption of linear proinsulin and fusion protein presenting in native, and dynamics of formation SDS-protein complex in denaturating conditions have been...

A theoretical background is provided for the methods of the analysis and topological separation of complex macrocyclic polymers by means of size exclusion chromatography (SEC), liquid adsorption chromatography, and liquid chromatography at the critical condition. We focus on a particular problem of the separation of theta-shaped polymers from its three-armed star analogues. Based on the theory,...
