Popis: Denaturation of serum albumin under the influence of temperature and ionic detergent sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) is investigated by laser correlation spectroscopy of scattered light. It is shown that thermal denaturation is stronger at pH values of the buffer solution of protein that are close to the isoelectric point of the given protein. Coupling of the micelles of SDS with albumin follows the principle of positive cooperativity. The concentration of protein saturation with the surfactant is determined, upon the attainment of which further protein denaturation was not observed. It is shown that the interaction of SDS with albumin is of an electrostatic nature.
