02H04 Novel Separation Techniques For Biologically Active Polymers
OverviewNew separation techniques are needed for analysis and processing of biologically active polymers. This includes polymers with specific recognition groups or the ability to uniquely interact with the biological molecule of interest. This session invites papers on experimental and modeling studies for the separation of biologically active polymers such as proteins, protein fragments, and single and double strand DNA.
