ABSTRACT
Chromatographic separations for proteins have been essentially operated around interactions between the solid-phase sorbents and protein analytes. Thanks to polypeptide properties, fundamental interactions have been played around ion exchange effects, hydrophobic associations, metal chelation, and dipole-dipole, singularly or sequentially. They are all classiˆed as single-mode sorbents since normally they display only
