“…1. An aqueous two-phase system phase diagram Such a method of protein extraction is a very complex phenomenon, and it is difficult to model, due to various factors that influence the partitioning of the solute, such as its hydrophobicity, molecular size, electrochemical properties, molecular conformation, biospecificity, and also the properties of the ATPS, such as the phase-forming components, pH, temperature and ionic strength (Azevedo et al, 2009), although models of specific phenomena, such as phase forming (Reschke et al, 2014), or partitioning of specific molecules (Pazuki et al, 2009) have been created. Therefore, each protein-ATPS combination can be treated as unique and requiring its own experimental data.…”
