Effect of taurine on the conformation of β-casein: Far- UV CD spectra (a), near-UV CD spectra (b), intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence (c), acrylamide quenching (d), ANS fluorescence intensity (e) and TEM (f) of β-casein in presence of different concentrations of taurine 0 mM (——), 50 mM (— —), 100 mM (– – –), 250 mM (—•—),350 mM (—••—), 500 mM (— – –). Acrylamide quenching has been performed only at 500 mM taurine. Spectra shown are representative of atleast three independent measurements with error rates as mentioned in Table 2.
