Abstract
Birefringence relaxation studies on bovine serum albumin (BSA) reveal transient decay described by a double exponential process. The values of the relaxation times lead to estimation of the size of the equivalent ellipsoid of revolution for BSA. Previous measurements of transient birefringence for BSA have shown a single relaxation process, since the apparatus used in obtaining those data was not fast enough to detect the faster relaxation process.
