Ak. Bordbar et al., STATISTICAL EFFECTS OF THE BINDING OF IONIC SURFACTANT TO PROTEIN, Journal of colloid and interface science, 192(2), 1997, pp. 415-419
Two different theories based on a multiple equilibrium model for analy
sing the binding data for ionic surfactant-protein interactions are in
vestigated and modified, and intrinsic and statistical Gibbs free ener
gies of binding per mole of surfactant are estimated. The characteriza
tion of the two models and interpretation of the binding process in te
rms of intrinsic and statistical binding free energies are discussed.
These theories are applied to analysis of sodium n-dodecyl sulfate bin
ding to ribonuclease A and lysozyme. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
