“…The present publication is a supplement to previous work (Großmann et al, 1993(Großmann et al, , 1995a(Großmann et al, ,b, 1997Tintinger et al, 1997a,b) on the liquid-liquid phase equilibrium of aqueous two-phase systems and the partitioning of amino acids and peptides. The last publication of that series (Tintinger et al, 1997b) deals with the partitioning of small amounts (≈10 −3 g substance per gram solution) of amino acids glycine (gly), L-glutamic acid (glu), Lphenylalanine (phe), and L-lysine (lys) and some of their low molecular peptides (all containing only groups from a single amino acid) as e.g. dipeptides gly-gly, glu-glu, phephe, and lys-lys and tripeptides 3*gly, 3*glu, and 3*lys in aqueous two-phase systems of PEG 6000 (or PEG 35000) and DEX 500 at 293 K buffered to pH ≈ 7 by adding small amounts (≈ 0.05 mol/kg solution) of an equimolar buffer of K 2 HPO 4 and KH 2 PO 4 .…”
