    This study presents a theory for light scattering of detergent-complexed macromolecules, crucial for understanding protein-detergent interactions and determining molecular weight accurately in solutions.

    Area of Science:

    • Biophysical Chemistry
    • Macromolecular Science
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Rayleigh light scattering is a key technique for characterizing macromolecules.
    • Detergent-solubilized macromolecules present challenges due to complex interactions with micelles.
    • Understanding Donnan equilibrium effects is vital for accurate measurements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a theory for Rayleigh light scattering of detergent-complexed macromolecules under Donnan equilibrium.
    • To investigate the influence of detergent binding, complex charge, and micellar properties on apparent molecular weight.
    • To validate the theory using experimental data from lysozyme-sodium n-dodecyl sulphate complexes.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of theoretical equations for apparent molecular weight under varying salt concentrations.
