ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-3182/3/3/035008 | Abstract: | We report the use of a micrometer-thick platinum-coated nanoporous membrane for the separation of differently charged proteins. A high field strength of about 25 kV m-1 was applied, using very low transmembrane potentials of ±1.5 V between the platinum-coated membranes. The system mimics the cell membrane function of facilitated transport for specific solutes. The selectivity for Lys:BSA:Mb in a mixed protein solution could be tuned readily between the flux ratios of 2:2:1 and 96:1:12 respectively, by simple variation of the transmembrane potentials from +1.5 V to -1.5 V. The experimental fluxes agreed closely with calculated fluxes derived from a simple electrophoresis- potential shielding model at favourable transmembrane potentials. © 2008 IOP Publishing Ltd. | Source Title: | Bioinspiration and Biomimetics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/93571 | ISSN: | 17483182 | DOI: | 10.1088/1748-3182/3/3/035008 |
