Abstract

The stopped-flow kinetics of the reaction between oligopeptides containing tryptophan residues andN-bromosuccinimide (NBS) were studied in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) containing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Decreases in the reaction rates attributable to the interaction between oligopeptides and SDS were observed, and oligopeptides studied were classified into types I and II on the basis of the interaction modes. Type I oligopeptides were dissolved in SDS micelles; type II oligopeptides interacted cooperatively with SDS monomers. The manner of interaction between SDS and oligopeptides of type II could be interpreted by a simple equilibrium relation: oligopeptide+n·(SDS)=oligopeptide·(SDS)n.
