  • Patent number: 5945520
    Abstract: Disclosed are rationally designed mixed mode resins which are useful in recovering a target compound from an aqueous solution and methods for use of such resins. The resins described herein have a hydrophobic character at the pH of binding of the target compound and a hydrophilic and/or electrostatic character at the pH of desorption of the target compound from the resin and are specifically designed to bind the target compound from an aqueous solution at both a low and high ionic strength.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5041377
    Abstract: Crystalline subtilisin is produced by adding a halide salt, such as sodium chloride or calcium chloride, to a concentrated subtilisin solution (at least about 40 g/1). This process does not produce amorphous subtilisin even at high salt concentrations in the solution. Optionally, subtilisin seed crystals also may be added to the concentrate to speed up the crystallization process.
