Ultrasonic Absorption in Protein Solution

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((ASIC,volume 18))

Abstract

Since Carstensen and Schwan’s work on aqueous solutions of hemoglobin1 there have been a number of studies of excess acoustic absorption in solutions of biologically important macromolecules2–7 and their synthetic analogs8–10. Relaxation times or relaxation spectra adequate to characterize the observed frequency dependence of the ultrasonic velocity and attenuation have been deduced1–3,8,9 but the variety of chemical and structural equilibria possible in a solution of flexible polyelectrolytes is great enough to render the unambiguous identification of the microscopic process responsible for the excess absorption a matter of some difficulty. In individual cases arguments have been advanced nominating solvation1–3,8 ionization4,6, and conformational change5,9 as the principal contributors to the observed relaxation spectrum in aqueous protein solution.
