Separation of tobacco HCPs by UF/DF. (A) Native PAGE of clarified tobacco extract and UF/DF samples using a 100 kDa RC membrane (pH 7.6, 50 mS cm−1). The black arrow indicates RuBisCO (~560 kDa). (B) LDS-PAGE analysis of the protein composition of UF/DF samples (pH 7.0 and 50 mS cm−1) after separation using different membranes. (C) Response surface of TSP recovery in the UF/DF permeate of a 100 kDa RC membrane relative to the load, showing dependence on pH and conductivity. (D) The pI-dependent distribution of tobacco HCPs and the corresponding mass fractions in plant extracts (Buyel et al., 2013). The bin width was 0.5. The permeate TSP recoveries were predicted by the model displayed in (C) for 50 mS cm−1. MWCO, molecular weight cut-off; PESU, polyether sulfone; RC, regenerated cellulose; PSBC, polystyrene block copolymer; L, load; R, retentate; P, permeate.
