Infos

Focusing on physiochemical aspects, this work provides an overview of biopolymer interfacial behaviour, advancing current understanding of the importance of protein adsorption in biophysical and biochemical processes, as well as the relevance of such phenomena in biomedicine. The text addresses fundamental aspects of biopolymer interfacial behaviour, such as adsorption kinetics, adsorbed layer structure and dynamics, interfacial orientation, effects of self-assembly on protein adsorption, interactions between biopolymer layers, and interfacial exchange.

Inhalt

Macromolecular adsorption - a brief introduction; driving forces for protein adsorption at solid surfaces; thermodynamics of adsorption of amino acids, small peptides, and nucleic acid components on silica adsorbents; quantitative modelling of protein adsorption; interfacial behaviour of protein mutants and variants; proteins on surfaces - methodologies for surface preparation and engineering protein function; local and global optical spectroscopic probes of adsorbed proteins; orientation and activity of immobilized antibodies; interactions between surfaces coated with carbohydrates, glycolipids, and glycoproteins; kinetics of protein adsorption; mobility of biomolecules at interfaces; protein adsorption in relation to solution association and aggregation; mechanism of interfacial exchange phenomena for proteins adsorbed at solid-liquid interfaces; interactions between proteins with polymeric synthetic membranes; protein adsorption in intravenous drug delivery; control of protein adsorption in solid-phase diagnostics and therapeutics; studies on the conformation of adsorbed proteins with the use of nanoparticle technology.
