Addressing challenges in the ultrafiltration of biomolecules from complex aqueous environments

2020-04-01
Substantial progress has been made in ultrafiltration processes toward the separation of colloidal species from aqueous environments. Studies, especially in the past decade, have advanced the separations using functional and nano-structured membrane materials and a thorough understanding of colloid-membrane and colloid-colloid interactions in aqueous media. In this context, this review describes the recent advances in ultrafiltration of biomolecular species, most specifically proteins, from complex environments involving a range of molecular species and ionic and nonionic substances with varying concentrations. Ongoing efforts hint that the complexity of the interactions plays a critical role in the success of the ultrafiltration process that requires system-specific investigation of the ultrafiltration process and process parameters.

A new strategy for the synthesis of pyridines from N-propargylic beta-enaminothiones
Kelgokmen, Yilmaz; Zora, Metin (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2019-03-07)
A new method for the synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted pyridines from N-propargylic beta-enaminothiones is reported. beta-Enaminothiones were prepared by thionation of the corresponding beta-enaminones with Lawesson's reagent. When treated with diisopropylamine in DMF at room temperature, N-propargylic beta-enaminothiones yielded 2,4,5-trisubstituted pyridines in moderate to high yields, along with small amounts of 2-methylene-2,3-dihydro-1,4-thiazepines. The reaction was found to be general for a broad ran...
Development of enhanced ultrafiltration methodologies for the resolution of racemic benzoin
Olceroglu, Ayse Hande; Çalık, Pınar; Yılmaz, Levent (Elsevier BV, 2008-09-15)
In the scope of achieving the separation of chiral molecules, enzyme enhanced ultrafiltration (EEUF), a new method based on polymer enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF), utilizing apoenzymes as ligands, was developed. Benzoin was chosen as the model chiral molecule. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) and apo form of benzaldehyde lyase (BAL) (E.C. 4.1.2.38) were used as chiral ligands in PEUF and EEUF experiments, respectively. In order to bind to the target enantiomer well, the addition of ligand to the benzoin solution...
ON THE FICKIAN DIFFUSION OF ORGANIC PENETRANTS IN GLASSY-POLYMERS
TOSUN, I; Yılmaz, Levent (Wiley, 1982-01-01)
Fickian diffusion of organic penetrants in glassy polymers is formulated as a moving‐boundary problem, and the effect of concentration‐dependent diffusivity on the concentration distribution is investigated. The solutions obtained for concentration‐dependent and constant diffusivity cases are compared. The results show that the concentration distribution curves differ both quantitatively and qualitatively. It is concluded that the sharp advancing boundary between the glassy and rubbery regions is due not on...
Development of new synthetic methodologies for indole derivatives
Kılıklı, Ahmet Alper; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2010)
Synthesizing nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds is one of the leading research areas throughout the organic chemistry due to their significant activities on biological systems. Among the various biologically active molecules, indole derivatives are of prime importance on the grounds of their proven clinical roles. Objective of this study is to synthesize new indole derivatives those may contribute treatment of several diseases like their analogues via a recently developed synthetic methodology. Besi...
A sepiolite modified conducting polymer based biosensor
SÖYLEMEZ, SANİYE; Kanik, Fulya Ekiz; Tarkuc, Simge; UDUM, YASEMİN; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2013-11-01)
A conducting polymer modified with sepiolite was utilized in the construction of a highly sensitive and fast amperometric cholesterol biosensor. In this study a monomer; (10,13-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)dibenzo[a,c]phenazine (PHED)) was synthesized and then its polymer was coated on a graphite electrode by electropolymerization to obtain a matrix for enzyme immobilization. Cholesterol oxidase was immobilized onto polymer coated electrode by adsorption technique. Sepiolite was introduced f...
