Micellisation process for sodium dodecyl sulphate and sodium cholate in 1∶1 molar ratio was investigated in a combined approach, including several experimental methods and coarse grained molecular dynamics simulation. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) of mixed micelle was determined by spectrofluorimetric and surface tension measurements in the temperature range of 0-50°C and the values ...

In this contribution we report studies on enzymatic activity of alpha-chymotrypsin (CHT) upon complexation with cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micelle. With picosecond time resolution, we examined solvation dynamics at the interface of CHT-micelle complex, and rigidity of the binding. We have used 5-(dimethyl amino) naphthalene-1-sulfonyl chloride (dansyl chloride; DC) that is c...

Microtubules and associated motor proteins such as kinesin are envisioned for applications such as bioseparation and molecular sorting to powering hybrid synthetic mechanical devices. One of the challenges in realizing such systems is retaining motor functionality on device surfaces. Kinesin motors adsorbed onto glass surfaces lose their functionality or ability to interact with microtubules if...

Beta-casein (β-CN) is a major dairy protein subject to preferential degradation during storage. Our study aimed isolate β-casein from bovine milk under dissociative conditions by the electrophoretic technique using Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and optimize an immunochemical such as Mancini radial immunodiffusion in order monitor evolution of this For purp...

Mesoporous polymer materials were fabricated from micelle/polymer precursors prepared by the micelle template method in reverse microemulsion systems and the pore size could be tuned by varying the type and concentration of surfactant.

Kappa-casein, as a major protein component in mammalian milk, plays an essential role in formation and stabilization milk micelles and preventing them from aggregating and therefore, helping to keep calcium phosphate in solution and transfer of calcium and phosphors from animal milk to consumers. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to investigate genetic and phylogenetic analysis ...

In this investigation, a nano-sized protein-encapsulated polymeric micelle was prepared by self-assembling human serum albumin (HSA) as a model protein and degradable block copolymer methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(β-amino ester) (PEG-PAE) with piperidine and imidazole rings. From the zeta potential measurement, the protein-encapsulated polymeric micelle showed a pH-tuning charge conversion ...

The effect of the ingestion of myo-inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) and phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) on the digestibility of casein was investigated using growing broiler chickens. A total of 64 female Ross broilers were used in a precision feeding study. One group of 8 birds was fed a solution of glucose to estimate endogenous losses. Seven groups, each of 8 birds, were fed either casein, casein + 1,000 ...
