Membranes working as nucleating heterogeneous phases for protein crystallization were tailored. Perfluorinated membranes were functionalised by anchoring amphiphilic sulfonamides onto the membrane surface, resulting in enhanced affinity to protein solutions. Although the amount of the sulphonamide m

Acknowledgment This work was carried out also with the contribution of RENCO S.p.A (Italy).

The efficient design of a membrane bioreactor for cells culture needs the complete characterization — both experimentally and theoretically — of the transport phenomena for metabolites, catabolites, cell regulatory and immune-related soluble factors. In this work, experiments and theoretical calcula

HYFLON AD membranes are very interesting devices in water treatment and for their impermeability to water and gases and vapour transpirability [1]. In these kinds of processes, such in many large-scale processes, some membrane parameters are particularly important, among them: pore distribution, mem

Reverse osmosis is widely applied to water desalination because of the relatively low cost of the process. Besides the well defined role that this technology plays in the desalination scenario, in the last years, from all over the world, demand for lower costs and higher quality of water has been ad

Crystal growth is the critical step in determining the protein X-ray crystal structure. Hundreds, or even thousands, of crystallization trials must often be performed on a target macromolecule and, unfortunately, less than 1% of them typically yield promising results. Many macromolecules are relucta
