Summary

Binding isotherms for the calcium ion–αsl-casein system have been measured, as functions of ionic strength, temperature, and pH, and the isotherms have been analysed in terms of binding constants modified by substitution effects. The results demonstrate that the strength of binding is increased with increasing temperature and decreased by increasing ionic strength or decreasing pH, all of which may be explained semi-quantitatively. Parallel studies on the precipitability of the αsl-casein–Ca2+ complexes showed that there is considerable variation in the extent of calcium binding required to initiate precipitation of the protein, and in the calcium concentration necessary to achieve the required extent of ligand binding.
