Intrinsic viscosity of bovine serum albumin in water–dioxan
Abstract
The intrinsic viscosity of bovine serum albumin in dioxan–water (1:3 v/v) was found to be 0·019 dl g–1, far below the range 0·033–0·040 dl g–1 expected for most globular proteins; the result indicates that serum albumin approximates closely to an ideal Stokes–Einstein sphere in this solvent system.
