Abstract
Evidence is presented for the existence of a critical mixing point of a protein and saltwater binary mixture. The asymptotic behavior of the osmotic isothermal compressibility and the long-range correlation length near the critical mixing point is consistent with the scaling laws predicted by the mean-field theory. The dynamic behavior of concentration fluctuations is not described by the mode-coupling theory.Keywords
