A Model for the Denaturation and Aggregation of β‐Lactoglobulin
Open accessAbstract
A quantitatively correct kinetic model for the temperature‐induced denaturation and aggregation of β‐lactoglobulin is presented. The model recognizes an initiation, a propagation and a termination step by analogy with polymer radical chemistry. The decrease in native β‐lactoglobulin is predicted to follow order 3/2, in agreement with experimental results. The size of the protein polymer particles is predicted to be proportional to the square root of the initial β‐lactoglobulin concentration. The scattered light intensity is proportional to the product of concentration and size of the protein polymer particles. The initial increase in scattering intensity of the particles therefore scales with the initial squared β‐lactoglobulin concentration. The influence of other reaction conditions, e.g. ionic strength and pH, can be incorporated via the reaction constants of the reaction kinetic pathway.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
