Abstract

We present rationale for and a derivation of a statistical mechanical model of protein adsorption. Proteins are modeled as rigid geometric objects adsorbing initially in a reversible manner and subsequently undergoing an irreversible change in shape to a permanently adsorbed state. Both adsorption and shape change occur subject to energetic interactions with previously adsorbed proteins. We evaluate the model quantitatively for proteins with disk‐shaped projections within the scaled particle theory and compare the predictions to experimental measurements taken via optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy.

It is hard to construct theories for the folding of globular proteins because they are large and complicated molecules having enormous numbers of nonnative conformations and having native states that are complicated to describe.

The thermodynamic properties of a 46-mer b-barrel protein model are investigated using Langevin dynamics and the histogram analysis method. By obtaining the density of states distribution and using the methods of statistical mechanics, we are able to identify the thermodynamic transitions for this m
