Title: Temperature behaviour of viscous flow with proteins
Author: Karol Monkos

Abstract: The paper presents the results of viscosity determinations on aqueous solutions of different mammalian serum albumins at a wide range of concentrations and at temperatures ranging from 278 K to 318 K. On the basis of these measurements and a modified Arrhenius equation, the functional dependence of the solution activation energy of viscous flow on temperature was established. The analysis of the results obtained shows that the activation energy decreases with increasing temperature according to a square function for solutions, water molecules, and the albumins studied. The rate at which the activation energy decreases with increasing temperature is different for each albumin and mainly depends on its hydrodynamic radius.

Keywords: Activation energy — Viscosity — Modified Arrhenius equation — Hydrodynamic radius — Albumin
