We have studied the adsorption of lysozyme layers at a hydrophobic silicon water interface using specular neutron reflection. The hydrophobic surface was obtained by self-assembly of a densely packed monolayer of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) onto the natural silica layer on the smooth surface of a
A new method is presented to quantitatively estimate and graphically display the propensity of nonpolar groups to bind at the surface of proteins. It is based on the calculation of the binding energy, i.e., van der Waals interaction plus protein electrostatic desolvation, of a nonpolar probe sphere
Spectroscopic methods provide a powerful tool for studying the properties of proteins at interfaces. The protein accumulated in one adsorbed layer is frequently less than the minimum mass of protein required by a detection method. In such a case (as is the case in circular dichroism spectroscopy) th
Optical techniques play an increasingly important role in the characterization of microstructure and surface densities of thin films at various interfaces. In this study, ellipsometry and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) were used for determining the surface densities of adsorbed
