This review covers the analytical applications of protein partitioning in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs). We review the advancements in the analytical application of protein partitioning in ATPSs that have been achieved over the last two decades. Multiple examples of different applications, such as the quality control of recombinant proteins, analysis of protein misfolding, characterization of structural changes as small as a single-point mutation, conformational changes upon binding of different ligands, detection of protein-protein interactions, and analysis of structurally different isoforms of a protein are presented. The new approach to discovering new drugs for a known target (e.g., a receptor) is described when one or more previous drugs are already available with well-characterized biological efficacy profiles.

The design of functional artificial cells involves compartmentalizing biochemical processes to mimic cellular organization. To emulate the complex chemical systems in biological cells, it is necessary to incorporate an increasing number of cellular functions into single compartments. Artificial organelles that spatially segregate reactions inside artificial cells will be beneficial in this context by rectifying biochemical pathways.

Background: Overcoming the poor aqueous solubility of small-molecule drugs is a major challenge in developing clinical pharmaceuticals. Felodipine (FLDP), an L-type calcium calcium channel blocker, is a poorly water-soluble drug.
Objectives: The study aimed to explore the potential applications of polyvinyl caprolactam-polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene glycol (Soluplus) stabilized amorphous dispersions for augmenting the oral delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs.

Article Synopsis
- A magnesium-aluminum layered double hydroxide (LDH) was created using a coprecipitation technique from a nitrate solution and transformed into a layered double oxide (LDO) after being heated to 450 °C.
- During rehydration in a fluoride solution, the LDH's original structure was restored and fluoride ions were absorbed to maintain balance, a finding confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).
- The study demonstrated that using ethanol during the rehydration process significantly increased fluoride incorporation, and the fluoride release pattern from the material revealed a rapid initial release followed by a slower, prolonged release.
