Summary

The interaction of acridine orange and sodium poly-α, L-glutamate in the pH range of 3.8–6.8 was studied by a spectral method and viscosity measurement. From the binding data, the molar change in entropy, enthalpy and the number of binding sites on polymer were calculated. The values of ΔS° were positive. ΔS° for binding decreasing extensively in pH range of 5.0. These results are explained by the transition of helix ⇋ coil of the polymer. The intrinsic viscosity reduction in the presence of the dye, in pH 3.8 is due to the formation of dye bridges between the polymer helix.

Zusammenfassung

Die Wechselwirkung zwischen Natriumsalz-α, L-Glutamin-Säure wurde mit den Methoden der Spektroskopie und der Viskositätsmessung untersucht. Aus den Bindungsdaten wurde die molare Änderung von Entropie und Enthalpie und die Zahl der Brückenstellen des Polymeren berechnet. Die Werte von ΔS° sind positiv. Für die Binding ergibt sich für ΔS° eine starke Verminderung im Bereich pH 5.0. Diese ist durch die Änderung der Konformation der Polymerketten (Helix ⇋ Knäuel-Umwandlung) zu erklären.
