✦ Synopsis
An aqueous two-phase system of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and potassium phosphate was developed for extraction of a cutinase from cell debris of a recombinant Escherichia coli strain. Basic studies to identify the primary factors which affect cutinase partition, namely the influence of polymer molecular weight, polymer concentration and pH were carried out using a purified preparation of the cutinase. The enzyme partition coefficient was enhanced with decreasing PEG molecular weight, increasing tie-line length and PH.

A model for the prediction of protein partition coefficients in aqueous two-phase systems has been developed. This model accounts for both charge-independent and electrostatic effects. The determination of nonelectrostatic effects was based on the model of Eiteman and Gainer for uncharged solutes wh
