Abstract:

The interactions of β-lactoglobulin AB in the presence of cationic surfactants such as Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and Cetyltrimethylammonium p-Toluenesulfonate have been investigated using a variety of experimental techniques such as conductivity, UV-Vis spectrophotometry and fluorimetry. The conductivity of surfactants aqueous solutions with β-lactoglobulin shows that the cmc of cationic surfactants decreases with increasing of counterion size. The results of UV-Vis and fluorescence studies show a red shift in wavelength and an increase in absorbance and intensity of the emission maximum of protein during the interactions of surfactants with β-lactoglobulin. The results of UV-Vis also show two distinct conformational changes at pHs 6.7 and 8.0 and the cooperative character of binding at pH 2.0. The results of fluorescence studies show that the binding strength of β-lactoglobulin / surfactant complex decreases with increasing of the pH.

Aggregation of an anionic azo dye with conventional cationic surfactants in premicellar region: A conductometric study

The interaction of Congo Red CR with a series of Alkyltrimethylamoniumbromide CnTAB, N-hexadecylpyridinium bromide CPB and N-hexadecylpyridinium CPC were investigated using conductometry technique. It was observed that the formation of dye-surfactant ion pairs takes place at surfactant concentration far below the critical micelle concentration of the individual surfactants. Aggregation was refl...

Interaction of cationic surfactants with DNA: a single-molecule study

The interaction of cationic surfactants with single dsDNA molecules has been studied using force-measuring optical tweezers. For hydrophobic chains of length 12 and greater, pulling experiments show characteristic features (e.g. hysteresis between the pulling and relaxation curves, force-plateau along the force curves), typical of a condensed phase (compaction of a long DNA into a micron-sized ...

Interactions between cationic starch and mixed anionic surfactants

The interactions of cationic starch (CS, degree of substitution=0.8)/mixed anionic surfactant/water systems were investigated. The surfactants investigated were sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), sodium octanoate (NaOct), sodium decanoate (NaDe), sodium dodecanoate (NaDod), sodium oleate (NaOl ) and sodium erucate (NaEr). The concentration of CS varied from 0.001 to 10 wt.%. The effect of mixing on...
