β¦ Synopsis
The electrochemical effect of a charged dextran derivative and the hydrophobic effect of hydrophobic chain PEG derivative on partitioning of six types of proteins in PEGjdextran aqueous two-phase systems were investigated. When 1. 6%(w/u)DEAE-dextran was present in the system ,the partition coefficient decreased quickly with increasing pH value; when 0. 3% (w/w )PEG pentadecanoic acid ester was present in the system. the partition coefficient of protein with strong hydrophobiclty was greatly increased. The experimental results show that the influence of hydrocarbon chain PEG derivative on partition coefficient is closely related to the hydrophobicity of proteins-

Protein partitioning in aqueous two-phase systems based on phase-forming polymers is strongly affected by the net charge of the protein, but a thermodynamic description of the charge effects has been hindered by conflicting results. Many of the difficulties could be because of problems in isolating
