A method of preparing a capturing agent for a selected biopolymer or bioparticle, includes the steps of: a) selecting a desired biopolymer or bioparticle, and b) providing a support matrix modified to have, at predetermined conditions, such a net negative surface charge and net surface hydrophobicity in relation to the net negative surface charge and the net surface hydrophobicity of the selected biopolymer or bioparticle that the modified support matrix is capable of selective interaction and capture of the biopolymer or bioparticle through a resulting net hydrophobic interaction being the actual hydrophobic interaction minus the actual electrostatic repulsion. The use of such a capturing agent as a therapeutically active substance, as well as in chromatography and diagnosis are also disclosed.
A method of preparing a capturing agent for a selected biopolymer or bioparticle, comprising the steps of:
A therapeutically active substance, comprising a support matrix modified to have, at predetermined conditions, such a net negative surface charge and net surface hydrophobicity in relation to the net negative surface charge and net surface hydrophobicity of a selected biopolymer or bioparticle that the modified support matrix is capable of selective interaction with and capture of the biopolymer of bioparticle through the net interaction created by the net hydrophobic interaction minus the net electrostatic repulsion.
An antimicrobial composition, comprising a support matrix modified to have, at predetermined conditions, such a net negative surface charge and net surface hydrophobicity in relation to the net negative surface charge and the net surface hydrophobicity of a selected biopolymer or bioparticle, including microorganisms, that the support matrix is capable of selective interaction with and capture of the biopolymer or bioparticle through the net interaction created by the net hydrophobic interaction minus the net electrostatic repulsion.
