Abstract

The present invention relates to methods of purifying proteins having surface active, electron-rich amino acids using an aqueous two phase system. The methods include the use of salts and inert hydrophobic molecules, such as polymers, to produce the aqueous two phase system and the use a polymer-chelator-metal complex to purify the target proteins.
