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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores new applications emerging from our latest understanding of proteins in solution and at interfaces Proteins in solution and at interfaces increasingly serve as the starting point for exciting new applications, from biomimetic materials to nanoparticle patterning. This book surveys the state of the science in the field, offering investigators a current understanding of the characteristics of proteins in solution and at interfaces as well as the techniques used to study these characteristics. Moreover, the authors explore many of the new and emerging applications that have resulted from the most recent studies. Topics include protein and protein aggregate structure; computational and experimental techniques to study protein structure, aggregation, and adsorption; proteins in non-standard conditions; and applications in biotechnology. Proteins in Solution and at Interfaces is divided into two parts: Part One introduces concepts as well as theoretical and experimental techniques that are used to study protein systems, including X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance, small angle scattering, and spectroscopic methods Part Two examines current and emerging applications, including nanomaterials, natural fibrous proteins, and biomolecular thermodynamics The book's twenty-three chapters have been contributed by leading experts in the field. These contributions are based on a thorough review of the latest peer-reviewed findings as well as the authors' own research experience. Chapters begin with a discussion of core concepts and then gradually build in complexity, concluding with a forecast of future developments. Readers will not only gain a current understanding of proteins in solution and at interfaces, but also will discover how theoretical and technical developments in the field can be translated into new applications in material design, genetic engineering, personalized medicine, drug delivery, biosensors, and biotechnology.

Download or read book Advanced Materials Interfaces written by Ashutosh Tiwari and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced Material Interfaces is a state-of-the-art look at innovative methodologies and strategies adopted for interfaces and their applications. The 13 chapters are written by eminent researchers not only elaborate complex interfaces fashioned of solids, liquids, and gases, but also ensures cross-disciplinary mixture and blends of physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering and life sciences. Advanced interfaces operate fundamental roles in essentially all integrated devices. It is therefore of the utmost urgency to focus on how newly-discovered fundamental constituents and interfacial progressions can be materialized and used for precise purposes. Interfaces are associated in wide multiplicity of application spectrum from chemical catalysis to drug functions and the advancement is funnelled by fine-tuning of our fundamental understanding of the interface effects.

Download or read book Imaging Membrane Proteins Using Atomic Force Microscopy Techniques written by Joan M. Lau and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of different membrane proteins exist in the human body and reside in the membranes of cells. Structural information regarding these proteins can provide insight into the function of these proteins. Acquiring membrane protein structural information is difficult, especially when preparation techniques that are traditionally used for soluble proteins such as crystallizing and isolating proteins are not easily adapted for membrane proteins. The atomic force microscope (AFM) provides an alternative for imaging membrane proteins. The preparation required does not require crystallizing or isolating proteins, and can imagine membrane proteins in their native environment. Techniques are explored that can utilize the AFM for imaging proteins, including examining isolated cell membrane patches and membrane surfaces. One technique utilizes plasma membrane from Xenopus laevis oocytes as a model system to study membrane. A novel technique is developed to isolate oocyte membranes by bursting the oocyte and depositing its membrane on a flat mica substrate. The flat surface membrane preparation allows high-resolution AFM images to be obtained, revealing a novel structure of densely packed particles. These particles exhibit a regular, repeating pattern of a lattice-like array with orderly packing, and are thus termed 3lattice-like array particles4 (LAPs). The LAPs are orderly yet imperfectly packed, are located in depressed pools, occur with a low frequency on the oocyte membrane surface, and have not previously been seen using other isolation and imaging methods. Histogram analysis of the center-to-center distance between LAPs suggest their size to be about 44 nm in diameter, considerably larger than other reported size estimates of IMPs. These results indicate that LAPs represent a novel membrane particle organization, which merits further study. Future developments using this method or further studies to develop alternative membrane preparations may help elucidate membrane protein structure.

Download or read book Springer Handbook of Microscopy written by Peter W. Hawkes and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-02 with total page 1561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book features reviews by leading experts on the methods and applications of modern forms of microscopy. The recent awards of Nobel Prizes awarded for super-resolution optical microscopy and cryo-electron microscopy have demonstrated the rich scientific opportunities for research in novel microscopies. Earlier Nobel Prizes for electron microscopy (the instrument itself and applications to biology), scanning probe microscopy and holography are a reminder of the central role of microscopy in modern science, from the study of nanostructures in materials science, physics and chemistry to structural biology. Separate chapters are devoted to confocal, fluorescent and related novel optical microscopies, coherent diffractive imaging, scanning probe microscopy, transmission electron microscopy in all its modes from aberration corrected and analytical to in-situ and time-resolved, low energy electron microscopy, photoelectron microscopy, cryo-electron microscopy in biology, and also ion microscopy. In addition to serving as an essential reference for researchers and teachers in the fields such as materials science, condensed matter physics, solid-state chemistry, structural biology and the molecular sciences generally, the Springer Handbook of Microscopy is a unified, coherent and pedagogically attractive text for advanced students who need an authoritative yet accessible guide to the science and practice of microscopy.
