【 摘 要 】

The interaction between tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (TTAB) with bovine �?-lactalbumin has been investigated at pH = 9 and at 37�? by isothermal titration calorimetry, equilibrium dialysis and UV-Vis spectrophotometry methods. The binding data from unusual Scatchard plot have been analyzed in terms of the Hill equation for three sets of binding sites. The calorimetric data show that TTAB interacts endothermically with �?-lactalbumin and causes protein unfolding below 2 mM concentration of TTAB, which is confirmed by spectrophotometric data. The unfolding of the protein would be mainly due to occupation of the second set of binding sites.
