Interactions between bovine serum albumin and alginate: An evaluation of algi…

Abstract. The intermolecular interactions between the model protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and a biocompatible polysaccharide, sodium alginate, have been investigated. Both the native BSA and the heat pre-denatured BSA were utilized to study, in parallel, the effect of protein conformational change during the protein–alginate complex formation. In this work, a comparison was performe…
