A process of purifying target molecules is described that involves the selection of ligands based on identifying, in real time, association and dissociation constants with a given target molecule; using this information to select at least one ligand that exhibit predetermined association and dissociation constants with a given target molecule; anchoring a quantity of ligand to an activated solid support; contacting a quantity of target molecules with the anchored ligand(s); removing low affinity target molecules from anchored ligand and eluting particularly pure target molecules. |
