A comparative study on the binding of single and double chain surfactant-cobalt(III) complexes with bovine serum albumin

- Studies on the binding of surfactant-cobalt(III) complexes with BSA were carried out.
- Hydrophobic attraction plays a major role in the binding process.
- Binding induces considerable amount of conformational changes in the protein.
- Surfactant-cobalt(III) complexes show good antibacterial and antifungal activities.
