Abstract

The specific removal of built-up oligomolecular films of stearic acid and its lower homologs by dilute serum albumin solutions is described. The influence on this reaction of temperature, pH, concentration of albumin, and presence of buffer salts is discussed. The specificity of the underlying formation of water-soluble complexes in respect to both reactants is emphasized. The occurrence of skeletonization and penetration phenomena is noted.
