Abstract |
|
|
|
Solubility of proteins is one of the most important information because people need it for crystallization, food industry or engineering. That is why solubility of proteins is a subject often studied but the difficulty is that it is different with each protein. Moreover, it depends on many parameters such as temperature, pH, protein size (molecular weight) or salt concentration. This study focuses on finding models for correlating protein solubility and all its parameters for five proteins (concanavalin A, ovalbumin, glucose isomerise, lysozyme and xylose isomerise), and solubility with osmotic second virial coefficient in mind. Solubility and the osmotic second virial coefficient seem to be affected in the same way with temperature, salt concentration, molecular weight, isoelectric point and pH as the independent variables.
