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.
