Translational Diffusion Coefficients of Bovine Serum Albumin in Aqueous Solution at High Ionic Strength

The Effect of Solute Concentration on Equilibrium Partitioning in Polymeric Gels

“…For BSA, DLS experiments consistently show evidence of strong electrostatic repulsion (29)(30)(31). However, the diffusion coefficients we measured for ALA at 0.15 M KCl showed a slight decrease as the volume fraction φ b increased form 0.005 M to 0.1 M (i.e., D 1 /D 0 ≤ 0), providing confirmation of the attractive interactions in this protein system.…”

Modeling the controllable pH-responsive swelling and pore size of networked alginate based biomaterials

“…where k B is Boltzmann's constant (1.38 Â 10 À23 J/K), T is the absolute temperature in Kevin, h is the viscosity of water (1.31 Â10 À3 Pa s at 20 C) and r H is the hydrodynamic radius of the solute in meters (molecular weight of BSA is 66.4 kDa and hydrodynamic radius is 3.5 nm [25]). …”

“…(24)(25)(26). For SNAP hydrogel which was synthesized by reacting four hydroxyl groups with di-aldehyde, forming two acetal linkages between two hexuronic acid monomers from adjacent polymer chains, 4 sub-chains were extended from each crosslink point, f ¼ 4 [2].…”

Influence of morphology in the catalytic activity of bioconjugated platinum nanostructures

“…of NaBH4, ESM, Figure S3) is very close to the size measured for the cuboctahedral particles. However, it is well known that BSA monomers and dimers have a size estimated to be around 3.7 and 4.8 nm, respectively (Meechai et al 1999). Our values indicate that the proteins are heavily oligomerized.…”
