✦ Synopsis
Holographic relaxation spectroscopy has been used to measure tracer diffusion coefficients for photochromically labeled bovine serum albumin in solutions having total bovine serum albumin concentrations in the range 3.25 to 257 g/liter. In the limit of zero concentration, the diffusion coefficient (20°C 0.1 M NaCI. 0.05 M Tris, pH 8.0) was found to be (5.9 rt 0.1) X lo-' cm2/s and the initial slope was zero. The concentration dependence of the diffusion coefficient was not significantly affected by the fraction of protein molecules which were labeled. Holographic relaxation spectroscopy permits rapid, accurate determination of tracer diffusion coefficients for prOkitE in IIIiXtUreS.
