Solubility sodium dodecyl sulfate

Description of Method. The water-soluble vitamins Bi (thiamine hydrochloride), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacinamide), and Be (pyridoxine hydrochloride) may be determined by CZE using a pH 9 sodium tetraborate/sodlum dIhydrogen phosphate buffer or by MEKC using the same buffer with the addition of sodium dodecyl-sulfate. Detection Is by UV absorption at 200 nm. An Internal standard of o-ethoxybenzamide Is used to standardize the method. 

The kinetics of vinyl acetate emulsion polymeriza tion in the presence of alkyl phenyl ethoxylate surfactants of various chain lengths indicate that part of the emulsion polymerization occurs in the aqueous phase and part in the particles (115). A study of the emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate in the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate reveals that a water-soluble poly(vinyl acetate)—sodium dodecyl sulfate polyelectrolyte complex forms, and that latex stabihty, polymer hydrolysis, and molecular weight are controlled by this phenomenon (116). 

Tailing peaks or longer than expected elution volumes are sometimes caused by low solubility of the protein in the mobile phase. Using a trial-and-error process, select the proper pFf and ionic strength to address this problem. Detergents such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) are sometimes helpful but, because they change the conformation of many proteins and are difficult to remove from the column should be used only if other methods fail. 

It can be seen that the solubility in water of sodium dodecyl sulfate is around 30%. However, the triethanolamine salt is still more soluble and forms clear solutions at 40% concentration. Figure 3 shows plots of the solubility of sodium alcohol sulfates with alkyl chains from Cn to C18 vs. temperature. As expected, the solubility decreases as the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain increases [80]. 

The curve shown in Fig. 6 for sodium dodecyl sulfate is characteristic of ionic surfactants, which present a discontinuous and sharp increase of solubility at a particular temperature [80]. This temperature is known as the Krafft temperature. The Krafft temperature is defined by ISO as the temperature [in practice, a narrow range of temperatures] at which the solubility of ionic surface active agents rises sharply. At this temperature the solubility becomes equal to the critical micelle concentration (cmc). The curve of solubility vs. temperature intersects with the curve of the CMC vs. temperature at the Krafft temperature. 

Krafft temperatures depend not only on chain length but on the cation. Eth-oxylation of the base alcohol reduces the Krafft temperature due to the higher solubility of the sulfate. Calcium and other earth alkaline metals produce an increase of the Krafft temperature that is significantly reduced by ethoxylation of the alcohol. The decrease is more significant for alkaline earth metals than for alkaline cations as shown in Table 6 [81,82], although it should be noted that, according to other workers, sodium dodecyl sulfate has a Krafft temperature of 16°C.

The number of different proteins in a membrane varies from less than a dozen in the sarcoplasmic reticulum to over 100 in the plasma membrane. Most membrane proteins can be separated from one another using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), a technique that has revolutionized their study. In the absence of SDS, few membrane proteins would remain soluble during electrophoresis. Proteins are the major functional molecules of membranes and consist of enzymes, pumps and channels, structural components, antigens (eg, for histocompatibility), and receptors for various molecules. Because every membrane possesses a different complement of proteins, there is no such thing as a typical membrane structure. The enzymatic properties of several different membranes are shown in Table 41-2.

Prokaryotic cells express hundreds to thousands of proteins while higher eukaryotes express thousands to tens of thousands of proteins at any given time. If these proteins are to be individually identified and characterized, they must be efficiently fractionated. One-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) has typically been use to study protein mixtures of <100 proteins. Onedimensional electrophoresis is useful because nearly all proteins are soluble in SDS, molecules ranging from approximately 10,000 to 300,000 molecular weight can be resolved, and extremely basic or acidic proteins can be visualized. The major disadvantage to one-dimensional gels is that they are not suitable for complex mixtures such as proteins from whole cell lysates. 

Shamsipur and Jalali described a simple and accurate pH metric method for the determination of two sparingly soluble (in water) antifungal agents miconazole and ketoconazole in micellar media [17]. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles were used to solubilize these compounds. The application of this method to the analysis of pharmaceutical preparation of the related species gave satisfactory results. Simplicity and the absence of harmful organic solvents in this method make it possible to be used in the routine analyses.

While the Lewis acid-catalyzed aldol reactions in aqueous solvents described above are catalyzed smoothly by several metal salts, a certain amount of an organic solvent such as THF had still to be combined with water to promote the reactions efficiently. This requirement is probably because most substrates are not soluble in water. To avoid the use of the organic solvents, we have developed a new reaction system in which metal triflates catalyze aldol reactions in water with the aid of a small amount of a surfactant, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS).

Fusion protein pull-down assays involve the overexpression of bait and/or fusion proteins in bacteria. Often, the expressed fusion proteins are localized in occlusion bodies and not readily soluble under nondenaturing conditions. The expressed proteins can be extracted using urea, sonication, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), or a combination of all the three. The net result is the denaturation of the recombinant protein and it may need to be refolded if the interaction domain is conformationally dependent. A major advantage of the pull-down assay is that high concentrations of proteins can be easily generated thus favoring protein association for a reversible equilibrium between two proteins. 

High temperatures can break native S-S bonds and form new S-S bonds which can lock the protein into a denatured eonfiguration [89]. Low pH, sodium dodecyl sulfate. Tween 80, chaotropie salts, and exogenous proteins have been used to protect proteins from thermal inaetivation [90]. Ethylene glycol at 30-50% was used to protect the antiviral activity of P-interferon preparations [91]. Human serum albumin was used in recombinant human interferon-Psei-n which resulted in increased thermal stability [62]. Water-soluble polysaeeharides sueh as dextrans and amylose [92], as well as point-specific (site-directed) mutagenesis [93] have also been used to increase thermal stability of therapeutie proteins and peptides.

A combined effect of natural organic matter and surfactants on the apparent solubility of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is reported in the paper of Cho et al. (2002). Kinetic studies were conducted to compare solubilization of hydro-phobic contaminants such as naphthalene, phenanthrene, and pyrene into distilled water and aqueous solutions containing natural organic matter (NOM) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant. The results obtained after 72hr equilibration are reproduced in Fig. 8.19. The apparent solubility of the three contaminants was higher in SDS and NOM solutions than the solubility of these compounds in distilled water. When a combined SDS-NOM aqueous solution was used, the apparent solubility of naphthalene, phenanthrene, and pyrene was lower than in the NOM-aqueous solution.

Zhong et al. (2003) studied the apparent solubility of trichloroethylene in aqueous solutions, where the experimental variables were surfactant type and cosolvent concentration. The surfactants used in the experiment were sodium dihexyl sulfo-succinte (MA-80), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), polyoxyethylene 20 (POE 20), sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80), and a mixture of Surfonic- PE2597 and Witconol-NPIOO. Isopropanol was used as the alcohol cosolvent. Eigure 8.20 shows the results of a batch experiment studying the effects of type and concentration of surfactant on solubilization of trichloroethylene in aqueous solutions. A correlation between surfactant chain length and solubilization rate may explain this behavior. However, the solubilization rate constants decrease with surfactant concentration. Addition of the cosolvent isopropanol to MA-80 increased the solubility of isopropanol at each surfactant concentration but did not demonstrate any particular trend in solubilization rate of isopropanol for the other surfactants tested. In the case of anionic surfactants (MA-80 and SDS), the solubility and solubilization rate increase with increasing electrolyte concentration for all surfactant concentrations. 

Chen [8] studied mixtures of the pure surfactants Ci2(EO)4 and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) at 30 °C. At this temperature the former is a liquid which does not dissolve in water (see Fig. 3), and the latter is a solid. The SDS was doubly recrystallized from ethanol to remove n-dodecanol and other impurities. The solubility of SDS in pure Ci2(EO)4 at 30 °C was found to be approximately 9 wt. %. When small drops of an 8 wt. % mixture were injected into water at 30 °C, complete dissolution was observed, the time required being a linear function of the square root of initial drop radius. For instance, a drop having an initial radius of 70 (xm required approximately 100 s to dissolve, significantly more than the 16 s cited above for a slightly larger drop of pure Ci2(EO)6. Behavior was similar to that of nonionic mixtures below their cloud points discussed previously in that most of the drop dissolved rapidly, but the final small volume dissolved rather slowly with some observable emulsification. 

In a previous publication ( ), results were presented on the micellar properties of binary mixtures of surfactant solutions consisting of alkyldimethylamine oxide (C12 to Cig alkyl chains) and sodium dodecyl sulfate. It was reported that upon mixing, striking alteration in physical properties was observed, most notably in the viscosity, surface tension, and bulk pH values. These changes were attributed to 1) formation of elongated structures, 2) protonation of amine oxide molecules, and 3) adsorption of hydronium ions on the mixed micelle surface. In addition, possible solubilisation of a less soluble 1 1 complex, form between the protonated amine oxide and the long chain sulfate was also considered. 

In this paper we apply basic solution thermodynamics to both the adsorption of single surfactants and the competitive adsorption of two surfactants on a latex surface. The surfactant system chosen in this model study is sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and nonylphenol deca (oxyethylene glycol) monoether (NP-EO o) These two surfactants have very different erne s, i.e. the balance between their hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties are very different while both are still highly soluble in water. 

From the increased solubility of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene in sodium dodecyl sulfate solutions (without NaOH), the authors of this research estimate a K/n of 44. Criticize or defend the following proposition The presence of OH could change the n value for sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles, so exact agreement between K/n values determined by the two methods is not necessarily expected. 

The water-soluble vitamins niacinamide (a neutral compound), riboflavin (a neutral compound), niacin (an anion), and thiamine (a cation) were separated by micellar electrokinetic chromatography in 15 mM borate buffer (pH 8.0) with 50 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate. The migration times were niacinamide (8.1 min), riboflavin (13.0 min), niacin (14.3 min), and thiamine (21.9 min). What would the order have been in the absence of sodium dodecyl sulfate Which compound is most soluble in the micelles ... 

The dianions (P2 ) of the weakly acidic, metal-free porphyrins are generated for spectroscopic observation using metal alkoxides. The pK and pK2 values for etioporphyrin-I (Table 1) have been estimated to be about +16 pK3 for octaalkylporphyrins such as etioporphyrin-I, measured for solubility reasons in 2.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate, is about 5.5, but spectroscopic observation of the monocation is difficult owing to the resonance stabilization available in the symmetrical dication (PH42+). Generally, pK3 and pK4 differ...
