General description
This book discusses rational design of downstream protein processing; product release from cells and tissues by mechanical disruption, chemical agency and enzymatic lysis; genetic strategies to facilitate purification of recombinant proteins; solid-liquid spearation via centrifugation, flocculation, filtration and filter aids; the usage of membrane filtration for protein isolation; nonselective and selective precipitation; protein crystallization on a large scale; extraction in aqueous two-phase systems and expanded bed absorption for rapid protein isolation; robust, superporous chromatography matrices for in crude feeds, and more.
