Abstract

We will utilize polymeric phospholipid membranes to prepare a new generation of biochemical separation matrices that exhibit marked improvements in selectivity, stability, reproducibility and tenability. We will focus on two primary objectives: design and implementation of a) membrane protein functionalized stationary phase materials and b) ion channel functionalized detectors for microchip separations. To achieve these goals, silica particles (ranging in diameter from 0.5 to 5

Public Health Relevance

This research project will develop and implement new, state-of-the-art technologies for biochemical separations, allowing for identification of novel pharmacological and physiological regulators of biological function. This research project will also provide key enabling technologies that lead to a more efficient elucidation of key biochemical and biophysical parameters for the design of next generation peptide-based drugs for treatment of a range of disease states.
