A new method for the precipitation of protein and oligopeptides is described. In this method, the selectivity of precipitation is a function of the percentage of alcohol. With an 80:20 (v/v) mixture of ethanol and water at room temperature, the selectivity of oligopeptide precipitation was as good as that using phosphotungstic acid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
