Organization of amphiphiles, part XIV: Studies on the interaction of a novel organic molecule with surfactant in solution and at air–water interface

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

“…The I 384 /I 373 ratio of pyrene is called the micropolarity index parameter because it reflects the polarity of the medium in which it resides. The increase in the value of I 384 /I 373 ratio indicates the increase in the nonpolarity of the system [21,25,37] . By investigating the change in I 384 /I 373 ratio, the formation of the aggregates can be revealed [21,25,37].…”

“…The increase in the value of I 384 /I 373 ratio indicates the increase in the nonpolarity of the system [21,25,37] . By investigating the change in I 384 /I 373 ratio, the formation of the aggregates can be revealed [21,25,37]. by the sharp change in the polarity parameter of pyrene without BSA as observed by us earlier [25,37] and excludes the formation of micelles through premicellar aggregates formed in a step-wise manner [20].…”

“…Our primary interest has been centered on the studies of the interactions prevailing within the single or mixed systems involving surfactants and the organization/orientation of the surfactants [18][19][20][21][22] within the organized assemblies. Herein, we analyzed the mixtures of BSA with CTAB (C 16 ), tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB, C 14 ), and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB, C 12 ) in aqueous solutions to investigate largely the physicochemical characteristics of the mixtures and the mechanism of the organization of the assemblies.…”
