This review explores protein-polyelectrolyte complexes (PPC) and polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC). These stable yet labile complexes, when functionalized with bioaffinity ligands, show promise for bioseparation, bioanalysis, and novel biocatalyst development.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry and Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) are formed by oppositely charged polyelectrolyte molecules.
  • These complexes exhibit a unique combination of stability and lability in aqueous solutions.
  • Highly charged polymers with ionic groups in each monomer unit are the focus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the properties of protein-polyelectrolyte complexes (PPC) and polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC).
  • To explore the potential of PEC functionalized with bioaffinity ligands for bioseparation and bioanalysis.
  • To highlight the applications of PEC in immunoassay and biocatalysis.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of equilibrium reactions governing PEC formation in water-salt solutions.
