Abstract

In this study, the surface tension, miscibility, and particle size distribution of a solution containing an αs-casein (CN)-rich CN fraction (54 wt % αs-CN, 32 wt % β-CN, and 15 wt % κ-CN) were determined at pH 6.6. The nondialyzed CN fraction was compared with a dialyzed one. In the nondialyzed sample, every charge on the protein was compensated by 0.3 charges coming from counterions, whereas in the dialyzed sample, only 0.2 charges could be assigned to each charge on the protein. This relation was determined by calculating the charges at the proteins, taking the measured mineral content into account. The surface tension was measured as a function of the protein concentration by the du Noüy ring method at room temperature. Results indicated alterations in the surface properties after reduction of counterions. The equilibrium surface tension above the critical micelle concentration increased from 40.1×10(-3) to 45×10(-3) N/m, the critical micelle concentration increased from 0.9×10(-4) to 2×10(-3) mol/L, and the minimal area occupied per molecule at the surface increased from 2.4×10(-18) to 4.6×10(-18) m(2). Cloud points were determined by measuring the absorbance of CN solutions as a function of the temperature. The cloud point...Continue Reading

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
