96 claims: 7 independent, 89 dependent

  1. 1
    CLAIMS We Claim:1. A composition comprising a non-polypeptide pH switchable reagent which binds a target at a first pH and does not bind the target at a second pH.
  2. 37
    A consumable product comprising a pH switchable reagent.
  3. 42
    A composition comprising a protein content, wherein the protein content is obtained from a plant;wherein the composition is substantially free of odorants found in the plant.
  4. 47
    A composition comprising a protein content, wherein the protein content is obtained from a plant;wherein the composition is substantially free of colorants found in the plant.
  5. 52
    A method for identifying a non-polypeptide pH switchable reagent, the method comprising:a. generating a library of non-polypeptides by tag-directed synthesis;b. exposing at least a subset of the library to a protein in a solution at a first pH;c. altering the pH of the solution to a second pH;and d. identifying a non-polypeptide pH switchable peptoid reagent which binds a target at a first pH and does not bind the target at a second pH.
  6. 53
    A method for isolating one or more target proteins comprising:a. applying a composition comprising the one or more target proteins to a substrate;wherein the substrate comprises one or more non-polypeptide pH switchable reagents;wherein at least part of the applying step occurs at a first pH;wherein at the first pH at least one of the one or more target proteins binds to the one or more non-polypeptide pH switchable reagents;b. releasing the target proteins by adjusting the pH of the solution to a second pH;wherein at the second pH at least one or more of the target proteins does not bind the non-polypeptide pH switchable reagent and;c. collecting the target proteins that eluted from the one or more non-polypeptide pH switchable reagents.
  7. 66
    The method of claim claim 65 wherein the switchable reagents can bind Rubisco in base and release Rubisco in acid.
