title: Study of the reaction of proteins with Beryllon II-AlIII by the Rayleigh light scattering technique and its application.
abstract: The determination of proteins with tetrasodium 2-(3,6-disulfo-8-hydroxynaphthylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonate (Beryllon II) by Rayleigh light scattering (RLS) was studied. The weak RLS of the Beryllon II-bovine serum albumin (BSA) complex can be greatly enhanced by the addition of Al3+ in the pH range 5.6-7.2; there was a maximum RLS platform at 400-420 nm. Based on the reaction between Beryllon II, Al3+ and proteins, a new method for the determination of proteins was developed. This method is very sensitive [0.20-41.42 micrograms ml-1 for BSA and 0.18-48.15 micrograms ml-1 for human serum albumen (HSA)], rapid (< 2 min), simple (one step) and tolerant towards most interfering substances. The effects of different surfactants were also examined. Four samples of protein in human serum were determined; the maximum relative error was no more than 5% and the recovery was 96-105%.
