Abstract

Abstract The binding isotherms of sodium perfluorooctanoate (SPFO) to lysozyme have been investigated as a function of added NaCl by a potentiometric method utilizing a perfluorooctanoate ion selective electrode. The general feature of the binding of SPFO to lysozyme resembled that of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Although the lysozyme–SPFO system is different in detail from that of lysozyme–sodium dodecyl sulfate system, resulting from the mutual phobicity and the difference in hydrophobicity, the binding mechanism proposed for lysozyme–sodium dodecyl sulfate system can be true also for the binding of SPFO to lysozyme.
