CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL BEHAVIOR OF CASEIN SOLUTIONS

Jacques Loeb 1
PMCID: PMC2140476  PMID: 19871886

Abstract

The experiments on casein solutions therefore confirm the conclusion at which we arrived from the behavior of gelatin and crystalline egg albumin that the forces determining the combination between proteins and acids or alkalies are the same forces of primary valency which also determine the reaction between acids and alkalies with crystalloids, and that the valency and not the nature of the ion in combination with a protein determines the effect on the physical properties of the protein.
