X Abstract

Abstract: Partitioning experiments for a series of dinitrophenylated (DNP) amino-acids have been conducted in three (ionic liquid + sodium phosphate buffer) biphasic systems at 23 °C. The ionic liquids used were 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C6mim][BF4]), 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C8mim][BF4]), and 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C10mim][BF4]). The pH of the initial aqueous solution has been fixed at 7.4, using a sodium phosphate buffer. DNPamino acids distribute preferentially to the ionic liquid phase, and this partition increases with the length of the alkyl chain of the amino acid. The Gibbs free energy of transfer for a methylene group is calculated from the partition coefficients of the solutes. This provides a measurement for the relative hydrophobicity of the conjugated phases, and the obtained values are compared to those of other biphasic systems used in biotechnology (e.g., polymerpolymer and polymersalt aqueous two-phase systems).

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
