The acid unfolding of deoxymyoglobin (deoxyMb) from the native (N) form to the unfolded (U) form proceeds through at least two spectroscopically distinct heme intermediates. The 426-nm absorbing heme intermediate ( I-form) occurs in the pH Γ 3.5-4.5 range. In the I-form, the iron-proximal histidine

β¦ Synopsis
The effects of micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr), tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTABr), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and polyoxyethylene 10 lauryl ether (C 12 E 10 ) on the rates of alkaline hydrolysis of securinine were studied at a constant [ Γ OH] (0.05 M). An increase in the total concentrations of CTABr, TTABr, SDS and C 12 E 10 from 0.0 to 0.2 M causes a decrease in the observed pseudo-first-order rate constants (k obs ) by factors of ca 2.5, 3, 7 and 4, respectively. The observed data are explained in terms of pseudophase and pseudophase ion-exchange (PIE) models of micelle. The binding constants, K S , of securinine with SDS, C 12 E 10 , CTABr and TTABr micelles are 32.4, 14.8, 22.1, and 9.1 M Γ1 , respectively. The magnitudes of the second-order rate constants, k M , for the reactions in the micellar pseudophase are negligible compared with the corresponding rate constant, k W , for the reaction occurring in the aqueous pseudophase for CTABr, TTABr, SDS and C 12 E 10 .
