Rotational diffusivity of solutes in concentrated caseinates: influence of glycosylation
1990

Numerous factors control the diffusion of small molecules in concentrated polymeric systems. The aim of the present work was to study the influence of an internal plasticization treatment (glycosylation) of a protein (caseinate) on the rotational diffusivity of nitroxide radicals as a function of hydration. Ratational diffusivity was measured using Electron Spin Resonance. High levels of glycosylation improved the protein flexibility, and, above a given level of mobility, this higher flexibility was accompanied by an increased rotational diffusivity of the small solutes. Water acts as a plasticizer by increasing the free volume of the system and as a solvent by dispersing the molecules.
