Abstract
D- or L-aspartic acid containing polyacrylamides were synthesized. Binary a nd ternary complex formation between these polymers with copper and bovine serum albumin was studied by spectroscopic and electrochemical measurement. Depending on the ratio of the polymer/copper and protein/polymer, the mixt ure exhibited water-soluble and insoluble character. A hypothetical structu ral scheme for the formation of ternary complexes is proposed. The effect o f radiation on these complexes was also investigated.
