Abstract:
The 1,10-phenanthroline micelles-copper(I) coordinated complex, not the mono-dispersed bis 1,10-phenanthroline-copper(I) one, rapidly degraded proteins in the presence of beta-mercaptoethanol in the neutral-to-mild acidic region under aerobic conditions. The degradation products derived from alpha-casein were peptides and amino acids.
