Self-interaction chromatography as a tool for optimizing conditions for membrane protein crystallization [PDF]
The second virial coefficient, or B value, is a measurement of how well a protein interacts with itself in solution. These interactions can lead to protein crystallization or precipitation, depending on their strength, with a narrow range of B values ...

Recent advances in the formation of phase inversion membranes made from amorphous or semi-crystalline polymers [PDF]
Structural characteristics in membranes formed by diffusion induced phase separation processes are discussed. Established theories on membrane formation from ternary systems can be extended to describe the effects of high or low molecular weight ...

Osmotic Membrane Distillation Crystallization of NaHCO3
A new crystallization process for sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) was studied, proposing the use of osmotic membrane distillation crystallization. Crystallization takes place due to the saturation of the feed solution after water evaporation on the feed side,

Structural transitions of monoolein bicontinuous cubic phase induced by inclusion of protein lysozyme solutions [PDF]
Inclusion of protein lysozyme molecules in lipidic monoolein cubic phase induces a transition from a $\rm Pn\bar{3}m$ structure to $\rm Im\bar{3}m$ one.

Critical points in the analysis of membrane pore structures by thermoporometry [PDF]
Several ultrafiltration membranes of the anisotropic and isotropic type were characterized by means of the thermoporometry. Successive cooling and heating runs were performed in order to investigate the effects of the water-ice and ice-water phase ...

Phase separation phenomena in solutions of polysulfone in mixtures of a solvent and a nonsolvent: relationship with membrane formation [PDF]
The phase separation phenomena in ternary solutions of polysulfone (PSf) in mixtures of a solvent and a nonsolvent (N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and water, in most cases) are investigated. The liquid-liquid demixing gap is determined and it is shown that
