B A C K G R O U N D The aim of the present paper is to investigate the temperature and concentration dependence of the translational diffusion coefficient for human serum albumin in aqueous solutions at neutral pH and at the isoelectric point. M A T E R I A L A N D M E T H O D S The viscosity of human serum albumin aqueous solutions at pH 4.7 and 7.0 was measured at temperatures ranging from 5oC to 45oC and in a wide range of con-centrations. The measurements were performed with an Ubbelohde-type capillary microviscometer. R E S U L T S The translational diffusion coefficient of a protein in infinitely dilute solutions Do(T) can be calculated from the generalized Stokes-Einstein equation if the hydrodynamic radius of the studied protein is known. For hydrated human serum albumin, this equation gives Do(T) in the range of 3.45 x 10-11 m2/s (at 5oC) to 10.0 x 10-11 m2/s (at 45oC). The translational diffusion coefficient for higher concentrations of D(T,F) can be obtained from the relation: D(T,F) = Do(T)ho(T)/h(T,F), where F denotes the volume fraction and ho(T) and h(T, F) are the viscosities of water and the solution at temperature T, respectively. C O N C L U S I O N S The translational diffusion coefficient of human serum albumin in solutions both at pH 4.7 and 7.0 decreases linearly with increasing volume fraction, when  does not exceed the value of about 0.11. The dependence of the translational diffusion coefficient on volume fraction in the whole measured range of is non-linear and can be described by a stretched exponential function. The scaling parameters in this function are different at different values of pH. The dependence of the translational diffusion coefficient on temperature, in turn, can be described by the three-parameter Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher’s equation.

W S T Ę P Celem niniejszej pracy jest zbadanie zależności współczynnika dyfuzji translacyjnej od temperatury i ułamka objętościowego dla albuminy surowicy ludzkiej w roztworach wodnych przy neutralnym pH oraz w punkcie izoelektrycznym. M A T E R I A Ł I M E T O D Y Lepkość wodnych roztworów albuminy surowicy ludzkie j przy pH 4,7 i 7,0 zmierzono w zakresie temperatur 5–45 o C i w szerokim zakresie stężeń. Pomiary wykonano za pomocą kapilarnego mikrowiskozymetru typu Ubbe-lohde’a. W Y N I K I Współczynnik dyfuzji translacyjnej białka dla roztworów rozcieńczonych D o (T) można obliczyć z uogólnionego równania Stokesa-Einsteina, jeżeli znany jest promień hydrodynamiczny badanego białka. Dla uwodnionej albuminy surowicy ludzkiej równanie to daje D o (T) w zakresie od 3,45 ¥ 10 -11 m 2 /s (w 5 o C) do 10,0 ¥ 10 -11 m 2 /s (w 45 o C). Współczynnik dyfuzji translacyjnej dla wyższych stężeń D(T, F ) można otrzymać z relacji: D(T, F ) = D o (T) h o (T)/ h (T, F ), w której F oznacza ułamek objętościowy a h o (T) i h (T, F ) to lepkości, odpowiednio, wody i roztworu w temperaturze T. W N I O S K I Współczynnik dyfuzji translacyjnej albuminy surowicy ludzkiej w roztworach wodnych zarówno przy pH 4,7 jak i 7,0 maleje liniowo wraz ze wzrostem ułamka objętościowego, jeżeli F nie przekracza wartości około 0,11. Zależność współczynnika dyfuzji translacyjnej od ułamka objętościowego w całym mierzonym zakresie F jest nieliniowa i można ją opisać rozciągniętą funkcją wykładniczą. Parametry skalowania w tej funkcji są różne przy różnych wartościach pH. Z kolei zależność współczynnika dyfuzji translacyjnej od temperatury może być opisana przez trójparametryczne równanie Vogela-Tammanna-Fulchera.
