We study by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) the structure of hyaluronan -lysozyme complexes. Hyaluronan (HA) is a polysaccharide of 9 nm intrinsic persistence length that bears one negative charge per disaccharide monomer (M(mol) = 401.3 g/mol); two molecular weights, M(w) = 6000 and 500,000 Da were used. The pH was adjusted at 4.7 and 7.4 so that lysozyme has a global charge of +10 and +8, respectively. The lysozyme concentration was varied from 3 to 40 g/L at constant HA concentration…

Fibrils of β-lactoglobulin, formed by heating at pH 2, were titrated with a sulfated polysaccharide (κ-carrageenan) to determine the morphology and mechanism of complex formation at low pH to describe the formation of spherical aggregates attached along the protein fibrils with increases in the carrageenan concentration.

It is shown that the tannin-polysaccharide complexes remain stable in colloidal suspension; the masses and structures of colloidal tannIn-polySaccharide objects depend on the tANNin degree of polymerization; and the densities of tann in-poly Saccharide aggregates are about 7 times lower than the density of a single solvated polysaccharides molecule.

The structure of lysozyme-pectin complexes is driven by electrostatic interactions and not by hydrophobic interactions, and the molecular weight also has a large influence on the structure of the complexes because long chains tend to form larger globules.

Modelling of protein electrostatics via Delphi is used to visualize this effect for BSA, lysozyme, insulin, and beta-lactoglobulin, which appears to be a general effect caused by electrostatic repulsions that can coexist simultaneously with hydrophobic interactions.

Viscoelastic behavior indicated a tenuous network, solidlike at low strain but re-forming after breakage by shear, and high MW sensitivity was observed by rheology for the terminal time, which increased as well with the strength of polyelectrolyte-protein interaction.
