A study on the protein concentration dependence of the thermodynamics of micellization

Investigation of bovine serum albumin-surfactant aggregation and its physicochemical characteristics

“…Thus, this study is a stunning confirmation of the surfactant-assisted protein unfolding and the formation of the protein-surfactant complex. Unlike many studies on BSA-surfactant interactions which communicate incomplete information on protein-surfactant issues [11,15,17,47], this study provides a complete description of the nature of interactions, mechanism of aggregation of surfactants, and properties of the aggregates such as their size, micropolarity, and charge existing in the mixture and therefore would be useful to design applications relating to the drug delivery and personal care product development.…”

“…Verdes et al [11] studied the thermodynamics of the micellization of different surfactants, e.g., sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sodium octanoate, and sodium perfluorooctanoate in the presence of the protein, human serum albumin (HSA), in water. The critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of the surfactants changed due to the interaction with protein.…”

Sound Velocities and Micellar Behaviour Studies of Dodecyltrimethylammonium Bromide in Aqueous Solutions at 295.15, 302.15 and 309.15 K

“…In recent years, there has been growing interest in the interactions between protein and surfactant due to their many applications in biosciences, foods and cosmetics, drug delivery, detergency and biotechnological processes. Using various numbers of tools and techniques, these interactions have been studied and published in the past few years (Goddard et al, 1993, Brash et al, 1995, Sonesson et al, 2008, Mehta et al, 2008, Verdes et al, 2008, Mehta et al, 2009. Cationic surfactants are widely used in industry and have a great bearing on our day-to-day life (Rosen, 1989).…”

Effect of temperature on the interactions of glycyl dipeptides with sodium perfluorooctanoate in aqueous solution: Volumetric, conductometric, and spectroscopic study

“…Previous works have focused on conventional surfactants whose hydrophobe is usually a hydrocarbon group, so-called hydrogenated surfactants or hydrocarbon surfactants. Although there has been a lot of work on the interactions of proteins with hydrogenated surfactants [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], the mechanism of interactions between proteins and fluorinated surfactant is lacking. Fluorinated surfactants are often used in the formulations of the chemical, biosciences, cosmetic and medical industries [15].…”
