Abstract
⺠We present a study of the interactions of SDS compared with a novel molecular micelle pSUS with four acidic proteins. ⺠pSUS binding follows a positive co-operative mechanistic binding to all the four proteins in the low concentration region. ⺠SDS binding is primarily negative cooperative. ⺠Protein surfactant interactions interactions are primarily hydrophobic and hence greater for pSUS. ⺠Protein separation in PAGE is achieved at concentrations 25 times less for pSUS, as compared to SDS.
