Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The term entrapment has been used to cover a range of immobilization techniques. O’Driscoll has chosen to distinguish between those methods, where a gel or membrane is formed around an enzyme by polymerization and those methods where the enzyme is retained in a preformed polymer by subsequent formation of a cross-linked network. Microencapsulation and fiber entrapment are clearly other examples of this immobilization technique. 3, record 1, English, - fibre%20entrapment

Ce sont les caractéristiques de ces particules qui conditionnent la mise en œuvre.

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
There has been interest in applying nanogels to drug delivery systems, such as protein delivery and gene delivery. In general, chemically cross-linked nanogels are synthesized by microemulsion polymerization or a crosslinking reaction of intra-associated polymer molecules. We develop tailor-made functional nanogels to create novel nanobiomaterials(nanogel engineering) by the self-assembly of functional associating polymers as building blocks. In particular, nanogels of cholesteryl group-bearing pullulan(CHP) selectively interact with proteins as a host and are useful as artificial molecular chaperone and drug carriers such as cancer immune therapy. 3, record 3, English, - nanogel

Méthode dérivant de l'électrophorèse de zones où le mélange protéique qui doit être analysé est soumis à un champ électrique dans un gel retardateur qui est séparé en deux portions différant par leur porosité et tamponnées à pH différents. Le mélange de protéines migre du gel le plus poreux vers le gel le moins poreux, ce processus s'accompagnant d'une modification de pH. Chaque espèce de protéines se concentre ainsi dans une zone plutôt étroite, en bandes minces, ce qui permet d'obtenir une très grande résolution, plus élevée que celle obtenue avec un tampon continu. 2, record 4, French, - %C3%A9lectrophor%C3%A8se%20discontinue

Capillary gel electrophoresis(CGE) is the CE-analog of traditional slab-gel electrophoresis and is used for the size-based separation of biological macromolecules such as olgonucleotides, DNA restriction fragments and proteins. The separation is performed by filling the capillary with a sieve-like matrix, for example, cross-linked polyacrylamide, agarose or even solutions of linear polymer. The main advantages over slab-gel electrophoresis are a wider range of gel matrix and composition, online detection, improved quantification and automation. 1, record 7, English, - capillary%20gel%20electrophoresis
