AI Article Synopsis
- The study using quasi-elastic light scattering indicates that chymosin causes a roughly 5 nm reduction in the hydrodynamic radius of casein micelles.
- This decrease suggests a uniform response among the micelles when chymosin is added.
- The findings support the idea that casein micelles possess a "hairy" outer layer, primarily composed of the caseino-macropeptide from kappa casein.
Article Abstract
Quasi-elastic light scattering shows an initial decrease of about 5 nm in the hydrodynamic radius of casein micelles after adding chymosin, assuming the decrease to be equal for all micelles. This is consistent with the hypothesis that casein micelles have a hairy outer layer that is partly made up of the caseino-macropeptide part of kappa casein.
