“…Adsorption kinetics studies were carried out as previously described [29,30,32], with minor modifications: in a total volume of 4 mL (10 mM potassium phosphate buffer pH 7.0, protein (BSA or LYS, 5 mg total protein), in 10 mM potassium phosphate buffer pH 7.0, was mixed with the CB3GA-Cellulose-2 affinity adsorbent (100 mg moist wet gel, 9.3 mg dry mass). The suspension was shaken at 4 • C. Adsorption velocity was monitored by periodically removing samples from the suspensions, which were subsequently centrifuged (10,000× g, 30 s), and the amount of total protein concentration in the supernatant was determined by the Bradford method [28].…”
