Abstract

Van der Waals' parameters and dispersion equations of some mammalian proteins including actin, spectrin, haemoglobin, myoglobin, fibrinogen, ribonuclease A, and a calf serum protein are determined from refractive indices of their solutions and the solvents. The results indicate that van der Waals' parameters of these proteins, and also those of bovine serum albumin, fall within a relatively narrow range of values; which slightly overlap those of sugars and are above those of phospholipids.
