Positive Cooperativity Index of the Miceller Catalysed Oxidation of Amino Acids by Acidic Permanganate

The spectrophotometrical study of oxidation of i. e. glycine and L-isomers of three amino acids have been done in the presence of surfactant i. e. sodium lauryl sulphate (NaLS) and sulphuric acid by potassium permanganate. A Kinetic investigation of oxidation of amino acids by acidic permanganate has been carried out spectrophotometrically. The reaction is reported as linear double stage process, first stage is followed by second fast stage. The surfactant used in the reaction is an anionic surfactant. Its catalytic effect on the rate of reaction has been observed carefully. Positive cooperativity Index of the reaction have also been calculated.
