This book was released on 2006-09-28 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book opens with a description of fundamental aspects of protein adsorption to surfaces, a phenomenon that plays a key role in biotechnological applications, especially at solid-liquid interfaces. Presented here are methods for studying adsorption kinetics and conformational changes such as optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy (OWLS). Also described are sensitive bench techniques for measuring the orientation and structure of proteins at solid-liquid interfaces, including total internal reflection ellipsometry (TIRE), dual polarisation interferometry (DPI) and time of flight - secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF–SIMS). A model study of fibronectin at polymer surfaces is included, as are studies using microporous membranes and textiles with immobilized enzymes for large-scale applications. Biocompatibility, anti-fouling properties and surface modification to modulate the adsorption and activity of biomolecules are among the other topics addressed in this invaluable book.

Book Prediction of Protein Adsorption on Engineered Surfaces for Biomedical and Industrial Applications

Download or read book Prediction of Protein Adsorption on Engineered Surfaces for Biomedical and Industrial Applications written by Maria Eugenia Arias Montecillo and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis describes the advancement of the Bio-molecular Adsorption Database (BAD) to more accurately predict protein adsorption. To advance the model of the BAD, data was first: collected from published literature in the last ten years, processed to be added to BAD, and used in calculations to advance the BAD ability to accurately predict protein adsorption.Protein adsorption at solid-liquid interfaces is crucial in many biomedical and industrial applications. These applications include biomaterials, protein microarrays, lab-on-a-chip devices and bioreactors. (Vasina et al., 2009)In the biomaterial area, the first response after contact of an implant material with a biological fluid, is the adsorption of proteins on to the surface. The adsorbed protein layer plays a role in the regulation of the biological response to the material and therefore bio-compatibility. It is from the adsorbed protein layer that the cells in the system obtain information about the foreign surface determining the cell behaviour. This cell behaviour can range from: adhesion establishment and proliferation of cells in the proximity to the material or the rejection and inflammation at the interface due to over layering and denaturation. (Wilson, Clegg, Leavesley, & Pearcy, 2005)In the protein microarrays and micro/nano- devices area, protein adsorption is of interest because of the need finding an optimum balance to maximized sensitivity and/or activity for analytical functions. This is done by preserving the proteins native characteristics and minimizing protein denaturation. (Vasina et al., 2009)In the bioreactors area, protein adsorption plays a role in membrane fouling, leading to increased pressures of operation and frequent biofouling clear out. As such, it is important to choose materials and conditions to minimize protein adsorption and biofouling in bioreactors. (Ognier, Wisniewski, & Grasmick, Influence of macromolecule adsorption during filtration of a membrane bioreactor mixed liquor suspension, 2002)Regardless of the considerable attention and research in the last 50 years, protein adsorption prediction had not been attained with sufficient accuracy for engineering applications. The original work into BAD, addressed protein adsorption prediction by archiving protein adsorption data and applying statistical analysis to the data. (Vasina et al., 2009)This approach correlated accurately the input variables to protein adsorption. Examples include: protein concentration in solution, protein characteristics, fluid environment conditions and surface parameters to the output variable or protein concentration on the surface. (Vasina et al., 2009)" --

Book The Encyclopedia of Mass Spectrometry

Download or read book The Encyclopedia of Mass Spectrometry written by Michael L. Gross and published by Elsevier Science. This book was released on 2006-12-21 with total page 1040 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 6: Ionization Methods captures the story of molecular ionization and its phenomenal evolution that makes mass spectrometry the powerful method it is today. Chapters 1 and 2 cover fundamentals and various issues that are common to all ionization (e.g., accurate mass, isotope clusters, and derivatization). Chapters 3-9 acknowledge that some ionization methods are appropriate for gas-phase molecules and others for molecules that are in the solid or liquid states. Chapters 3-6 cover gas-phase molecules, dividing the subject into: (1) ionization of gas-phase molecules by particles (e.g., EI), (2) ionization by photons, (3) ionization by ion-molecule and molecule-molecule reactions (e.g., APCI and DART), and ionization in Strong electric fields (i.e., Electrohydrodynamic and Field Ionization/Desorption). "Ionization in a Strong Electric Field" illustrates the transition to ionization of molecules in the solid or liquid states, covered in Chapters 7-9: (1) spray methods for ionization (e.g., electrospray), (2) desorption ionization by particle bombardment (e.g., FAB), and (3) desorption by photons (e.g., MALDI). Electrospray and MALDI also lead to applications in biophysical chemistry, the theme of Chapter 10. Chapter 11 reconsiders ionization from the view of choosing an ionization method. The range of subjects is from ionization of organic and biomolecules to the study of microorganisms.
