Abstract

In this paper, preliminary results show the formation of cytochrome c monolayer. At low pressure, cytochrome c molecules remain at the interface, whereas at high pressure part of the cytochrome c is redissolved into the bulk phase. A surfactant monolayer formed at the air/water interface is strongly disturbed by injecting cytochrome c into the subphase. These changes are mainly attributed to the adsorption and penetration of cytochrome c at the water/air interface, which is promoted by electrostatic interactions between cytochrome c and the anionic surfactant.
