Abstrakt: In this work, we analyze the information on the protein intermolecular interactions obtained from macromolecular diffusion. We have shown that the most hopeful results are given by our approach based on analysis of protein translational self-diffusion and collective diffusion obtained by dynamic light scattering and pulsed-field gradient NMR (PFG NMR) spectroscopy with the help of Vink's approach to analyze diffusion motion of particles by frictional formalism of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the usage of the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory of colloid particles interactions in electrolyte solutions. Early we have shown that integration of Vink's theory with DLVO provides a reliable basis for uniform interpreting of PFG NMR and DLS experiments on concentration dependence of diffusion coefficients. Basic details of theoretical and mathematical procedures and a broad analysis of experimental attestation of proposed conception on proteins of various structural form, size, and shape are presented. In the present review, the main capabilities of our approach obtain the details of intermolecular interactions of proteins with different shapes, internal structures, and mass. The universality of Vink's approach is experimentally shown, which gives the appropriate description of experimental results for proteins of complicated structure and shape.
