The current study aimed to understand both external and internal membrane fouling by three proteins with different net charges, namely, negatively charged pepsin and bovine serum albumin (BSA), as well as positively charged lysozyme. Polycarbonate track-etched (PCTE) membranes were used. Per electro...
