Thermodynamic properties obtained from the independent site-binding model for polymer−protein interactions. Conditions for poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC)/protein and hyaluronic acid (HA)/protein are pH 5.3, I = 100 mM and pH 4.3, I = 100 mM, respectively. BLG—β-lactoglobulin. The data was taken from the works of [30,32].
