Abstract
AFM, Immunogold labeling and SPR have been successfully applied to the analysis of protein adsorption on fibroin substrates, chosen as a paradigmatic biomaterial. The process was evaluated both under static and dynamic conditions, also considering the effect of protein competition. AFM via antibodyβmodified tips provided maps of protein adsorption and information on proteinβprotein interactions. Double labeling Immunogold imaged protein distribution upon competitive adsorption. SPR described the dynamics of the process, offering also quantitative data both from individual and twoβcomponent protein solutions. The integration of these analytical techniques and the critical evaluation of the results can provide a detailed description of protein adsorption.

## Abstract A simple method is described for predicting aspects of the adsorptive behavior of selected plasma proteins on a wide range of implant surfaces from a limited number of interfacial free energy measurements. Although the theoretical basis of the predictive treatment is open to debate, it
Following the first experiment for the Critical Assessment of methods for protein Structure Prediction (CASP1), numerical criteria were devised to analyze the performance of prediction methods. We report here the criteria for comparative modeling, and how effective they were in CASP2. These criteria
Four quick-test methods (the Foodoil sensor, RAU-Test,Fritest' and Spot test) and two ordinary laboratory methods (the free fatty acids and GLC determination of triglycerid h e r s ) were compared to a standard method (column chromatographic determination of polar compounds). One hundred samples col
We evaluate homology-derived 3D models of dihydrofolate reductase (DFR 1 ), phosphotransferase enzyme IIA domain (PTE2A 3 ), and mouse/human UBC9 protein (UBC9 24 ) which were submitted to the second Meeting on the Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction (CASP). The DFR 1
