abstract = {With rising popularity of Microscale Thermophoresis for the
characterisation of protein-ligand binding reactions and
possible applications in microfluidic devices, there is a
growing interest in considering thermodiffusion in the
context of life sciences. But although the understanding of
thermodiffusion in non-polar mixtures has grown rapidly in
recent years, predictions for associated mixtures like
aqueous solutions remain challenging. This talk aims to give
an overview of the literature on thermodiffusion in aqueous
systems, show the difficulties in theoretical description
that arise from the non-ideal behaviour of water-mixtures,
and highlight the relevance of thermodiffusion in a
biological context. We find that the thermodiffusion in
aqueous systems is dominated by contributions from heat of
transfer, hydrogen bond interactions and charge effects.
However, the separation of these effects is often difficult,
especially in case of biological systems where a systematic
exclusion of contributions may not be feasible. Beside the
deficiencies of the theoretical analysis, we will also
elucidate the shortcomings of the available experimental
methods handling the biological multicomponent systems.
