主权项

1. A method for purifying hydrophobin II comprising adding a C1-C3 alcohol to a hydrophobin solution to generate a first precipitate, decanting a supernatant from the C1-C3 alcohol/hydrophobin solution and adding the C1-C3 alcohol to the supernatant, to generate a second precipitate, wherein the second precipitate comprises purified hydrophobin II.
