Abstract:This article reports a microscopic method to directly visualize protein adsorption and transport in bare capillaries modified with ion exchange groups. Silica capillaries were coated with poly(vinyl alcohol) to eliminate nonspecific protein absorption and then functionalized with diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) and DEAE-dextran to prepare anion-exchange capillaries denoted as D-C and D-dex-C, respectively. Protein concentration profiles acquired from microscopic images were analyzed with a one-dimensional diffusion-a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
