    Area of Science:

    • Biophysics
    • Protein Chemistry
    • Colloid Science

    Background:

    • Protein structure and association are governed by various intermolecular forces.
    • Both entropic and enthalpic factors contribute to the free energy of protein systems.
    • Understanding protein aggregate size is crucial in biological and industrial contexts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review intermolecular forces critical for protein structure and association.
    • To discuss factors influencing the size and size distribution of protein aggregates.
    • To propose a theoretical model for casein micelle size distribution.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of intermolecular forces in protein stabilization.
    • Analysis of entropic and enthalpic contributions to free energy.
    • Development of a theoretical framework for casein micelle size.

    Main Results:

    • Intermolecular forces, including entropic and enthalpic contributions, are key to protein stability.
    • Factors influencing protein aggregate size and distribution were identified.
    • A theory for casein micelle size distribution was formulated, considering spherical geometry and surface repulsion.

    Conclusions:

    • Intermolecular forces play a vital role in protein structure and association.
    • Protein aggregate size is influenced by multiple factors, including surface forces.
    • The proposed theory provides insights into casein micelle formation and stability.
