title: Protein partitioning in two-phase aqueous polymer systems.
abstract: Theories of protein partitioning in two-phase polymer systems which account for the effects of different aspects of system composition-such as the choice of materials, protein size, polymer molecular weight, polymer concentration, salt concentration, and affinity ligands-are reviewed. Although the present models provide some information about specific aspects of partitioning, a comprehensive and fundamental theory which can be used to predict protein partitioning behavior has not yet been developed. Some recommendations for future work are given.
