His-tag based supramolecular biopolymerization.

The term supramolecular polymer has been applied to polymeric materials in which the individual units, i.e., building blocks-are bound to each other via noncovalent interactions, including electrostatic or hydrogen bonding, as well as metal-ligand conjugation.

The [(bathophenanthroline):Fe] complex as an aromatic non-polymeric medium for purification of human lactoferrin.

We describe a non-chromatographic, ligand-free platform for the efficient purification of recombinant human lactoferrin (LF). The platform consists of a [metal:chelator] complex precipitate in the presence of osmotically active polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG-6000). Purification is achieved in three stages.

Conjugated Nonionic Detergent Micelles: An Efficient Purification Platform for Dimeric Human Immunoglobulin A.

The SARS-COV-2 virus is a deadly agent of inflammatory respiratory disease. Since 2020, studies have focused on developing new therapies based on galactose-rich IgA antibodies. Clinical surveys have also revealed that galactose-deficient IgA1 polymerizes in serum, producing IgA nephropathy, which is a common cause of kidney failure in young adults.

Development of a membrane-disruption assay using phospholipid vesicles as a proxy for the detection of cellular membrane degradation.

Snakebite envenoming is a global health issue that affects millions of people worldwide, and that causes morbidity rates surpassing 450,000 individuals annually. Patients suffering from snakebite morbidities may experience permanent disabilities such as pain, blindness and amputations. The (local) tissue damage that causes these life-long morbidities is the result of cell- and tissue-damaging toxins present in the venoms.
