“…In other researches, the partitioning behavior of some amino acids such as cysteine, phenylalanine, methionine, lysine, glycine, and glutamic acid have been also studied in ATPS composed of polyethylene glycol and potassium phosphate salts by some research groups [9][10][11][12]. In our previous work partitioning behavior of three amino acids, alanine, valine and leucine, in aqueous two-phase systems formed by polypropylene glycol (PPG) and magnesium sulfate salt have been studied [13]. The partitioning behavior of three other amino acids, L-phenylalanine, L-tryptophan and L-tyrosine, have been also investigated in two different types of polymer-based and surfactant-based ATPS by our research group [14,15].…”
