The formation of the textures on the surface of the films from the solutions of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with sodium halides (NaF, NaCl, and NaBr) of various concentrations was studied. The formation of symmetric zigzag textures on the surface of BSA films (Cryst Eng 3:173-194, 2000) in the presence of sodium halides depends on the conformational state of the protein globule. Thermal denaturation of BSA also did not allow to form zigzag textures on the surface of the films.

The bulk phase of water and its status in the cells play an important role in the management of metabolic processes. One of the little‐known universal phenomenon associated with the state of water is the Hofmeister effect which influences interfacial surfaces, the conformation of macromolecules, enzyme activity, and the growth of microorganisms. We investigated the influence of this effect on the change in the cell's ability to adapt to changing osmotic conditions, since understanding the mechanisms of osmotic behavior of the cells is an important step in the management of their activity (start of endo‐ and exocytosis, apoptosis). It is shown that specific properties of anions in the medium correlate with the osmotic sensitivity of red blood cells (RBC) and with indicators of free and bound water in suspension. The lyotropic series anion solution effect on the cell is a change of the hydration and structure of the membrane, which determines the osmotic behavior of the cell and the water environment properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
