langmuir aggregation of alkali blue 6b in proteins: Study and application

The formation of microelectrostatic fields in biopolymers causes the adsorption of stain molecules in protein. The interactions between the dye alkali blue 6B (AB6B) and four proteins, bovine serum albumin (BSA), human γ-globulin (γ-G), horse myoglobin (Mb) and ovalbumin (OVA), were studied by the microphase adsorption/spectral correction technique. It was observed that the interactions obey the Langmuir isothermal adsorption. The Langmuir equilibrium constants of all the aggregates were determined. Interestingly, the adsorption of AB6B has no relation to the array sequence of amino acid residues, and an electrostatic field consists of constant amino acid residues. The novel method has been applied satisfactorily to the determination of the total protein content in two different samples.
