Kinetics of the Solubilization of Pinacyanol Chloride into a Complex between Bovine Serum Albumin and Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate

The stopped-flow method was applied to the solubilization of pinacyanol chloride into a complex formed by bovine serum albumin and sodium dodecyl sulfate. The rate constant of the solubilization became larger with the step-by-step formation of the complex and finally attained values compatible with those for the pure surfactant micelle.
