Protein-Surfactant Interactions Phase Behaviour and Phase Structure
Protein-surfactant interactions in water are investigated by following the phase equilibria for protein-surfactant pairs whose constituents carry both opposite and the same sign of charge. The concentration ranges studied are: 0-20 wt% protein, 0-20 wt% surfactant, and 80-100 wt% water. The oppositely charged lysozyme-sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS)-water system forms three main regions: a precipitat
