ABSTRACT:

The kinetic investigations of the oxidation of valine by chloramine-T has been made in the presence of anionic surfactant i. e. sodium dodecyl sulphate (NaDS) at 40°C .The rate shows first order dependence on the oxidant but is fractional in valine. The graph of K versus detergent is parabolic and the value of positive co-operativity is 1.83 showing possible interaction between micelle and substrate. The value of K/N calculated in the present case is found to be 22.5 x 10-3M.
