Protein Purification From Molecular Mechanisms to Large-Scale Processes
T
his timely new volume gives real exam ples of how separation techniques are used in industry with recombinant pro teins, and emphasizes which techniques might be more useful than others in real world applications. With contributions from leading experts in the field, this volume covers both academic and industrial interests. It shows how series can be applied to developing strategies and emphasizes appropriate approaches for diffi cult protein separation problems. New separation techniques are evaluated for their practicality in connection with recom binant proteins on an industrial scale. These include: • adsorption
• extraction • liquid chromatography • centrifugation • electrophoresis Some of the specific topics discussed are adsorptive separations, mechanisms of protein retention in hydrophobic interaction chroma tography, radial-flow affinity chromatography for trypsin purification, metal-affinity protein separation, site-specific proteolysis of fusion proteins, and the use of applied electric fields for downstream processing.
