title: Protein extraction with reverse micelles.
abstract: Liquid-liquid protein extraction with reverse micelles is a new method for protein separation. We studied the effects of pH, ionic concentration, cation type, and protein molecular mass on performance of an AOT/isooctane reverse micelle system in extraction of lysozyme, trypsin, and pepsin. Extraction was found to be very efficient for low-molecular-mass proteins.
