Pv. Nuss et al., CONJUGATES OF PROTEINS WITH BLOCK-COPOLYMERS OF ETHYLENE-OXIDE - A NEW-TYPE OF SURFACTANT, Colloid journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 54(6), 1992, pp. 864-866
Conjugates of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with diphilic water-soluble p
olymers - block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide - wer
e synthesized, and the interfacial tension of their aqueous solutions
and the boundary with n-decane was studied. Conjugates in which hydrop
hobic blocks are found at the periphery possess substantially greater
ability to lower the interfacial tension in comparison with BSA.
