This paper presents the results of viscosity determinations on aqueous solutions of bovine serum albumin (BSA) at a wide range of concentrations and at temperatures ranging from 5 degrees C to 45 degrees C. On the basis of these measurements a general formula connecting the relative viscosity eta(r) with temperature T and concentration c of the dissolved proteins was established:eta(r) = exp[c/alpha-beta c(-(B) over tilde + (D) over tilde T + Delta (E) over tilde/RT)]The quantities alpha, beta, (B) over tilde, (D) over tilde and Delta (E) over tilde are described in the text below. A simple substantiation of the formula was also given. This relation gives immediately the Mooney approximation and allows the prediction of the values of the parameter S and a self-crowding factor K in this approximation. By applying an asymptotic form of the formula such rheological quantities as the intrinsic viscosity and Huggins coefficient were calculated.
