Download or read book Proteins at Solid Liquid Interfaces written by Philippe Déjardin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. 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: The behavior of a protein molecule at the solid-liquid interface is a worthy scientific problem for at least three reasons. The main driving force for studying this problem is a practical one, as many areas of bio-related technologies, such as medical implants, biosensing, and drug delivery, require the understanding of protein-surface interactions. In this dissertation, the nature of the precursive weakly adsorbed state of proteins during binding is reviewed. From this perspective, the adsorption and binding of proteins to a solid block copolymer thin film was achieved with regular spacing. Further efforts produced a monolayer of green fluorescent protein (GFP) covalently bound with regular spacing and orientation to a diblock copolymer thin film. This protein could be folded and refolded by changing solvent characteristics. We also explored the binding of DC-SIGN to mannose and mannotriose bearing lipid membranes. While no binding was observed, the usefulness of the lipid-based glycan microarray was proven using the well-studied CTB-GM1 binding motif.

Download or read book Protein Aggregation at Solid liquid Interfaces a Monte Carlo Study with Explicit and Implicit Solvent Effects written by Rehman Fazeem and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Metropolis Monte Carlo (MC) simulations were performed with positively charged peptides in aqueous solution to study changes in peptide conformations at solid/liquid interface, and its effects on protein aggregation. Intermediate-resolution diblock model peptide, comprising of 10 units of ALA (non-polar) and LYS (polar) amino acid residues, was used for the simulations. In the first approach to modeling, solvent effects were considered explicitly. The explicit model was then used to study two peptide molecules, in helical structure, at solid/liquid interface. In order to increase the number of peptide molecules in the simulation box, with reduced computational cost, an implicit solvent model was developed with nonadditive hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction potentials. The implicit model was used to simulate two peptides of helical structure at charged surfaces (to compare with the explicit model), and ten peptides of random coil structure with and without charged surfaces. The peptides were observed to always move towards the negatively charged surface and orient with residues of complimentary charge settling close to the surface, maximizing the electrostatic interactions. On reaching the surface, the peptides partially lose their secondary structure and clusters around the hydrophobic ends; this restructuring and dehydration of the peptides provides the entropic drive for adsorption and subsequent misfolding events. The 2- peptide-water-surface system in explicit model was also simulated with periodic switching of surface charge polarity, to induce a "shaking effect" in order to observe possible peptide configurational changes"--Abstract, page iii.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surfactants in Biopharmaceutical Development addresses the progress, challenges and opportunities for surfactant research specific to pharmaceutical development, providing a broad range of important surfactant-related topics as they relate directly to the biopharmaceutical process. Chapters address fundamental topics, like mechanisms of protein stabilization by surfactants, the latest, state-of-the-art technology and methods to illustrate the practical application to biopharmaceutical development, forward-looking chapters on control strategies and novel surfactants, with a special focus on current regulatory aspects of paramount importance for biopharmaceutical companies and regulators. It has been widely recognized that surfactants provide protection to therapeutic proteins against interfacial stresses. Despite the fact that the very mechanism of protein stabilization by surfactants has not been completely understood, surfactants are universally regarded as critical functional excipients by the industry and by regulators. Describes the current state of research on surfactants in the context of biopharmaceutical development, drawing upon contributions from international experts across industry, academia, and regulators Addresses the opportunities and challenges associated with surfactants in biologic drug development Provides a defining resource for practitioners in the biopharmaceutical industry, regulators and academics by summarizing the latest knowledge of surfactants in biopharmaceutical development in one comprehensive volume

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by authors with an international reputation, acknowledged expertise and teaching experience, this is the most up-to-date resource on the field. The text is clearly structured throughout so as to be readily accessible, and begins by looking at scattering of a scalar particle by one-dimensional systems. The second section deals with the scattering of neutrons with spin in one-dimensional potentials, while the third treats dynamical diffraction in three-dimensional periodic media. The final two sections conclude with incoherent and small angle scattering, and some problems of quantum mechanics. With its treatment of the theories, experiments and applications involved in neutron optics, this relevant reading for nuclear physicists and materials scientists alike.

Download or read book Neutron Scattering written by Waldemar Alfredo Monteiro and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2016-04-06 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings suitable data concerning theory and experiments of neutron interactions with different materials. Since the neutron discovery by Chadwick in 1932, researchers of the entire world begin to make studies about it. It is well known that neutron have no charge, and their electric dipole moment is either zero or too small to measure, but theories and experiments show that neutron has spin (presence of magnetic moment), and polarization neutron scattering is plausible. The reader can obtain remarks about inelastic scattering cross sections for neutron; polarized neutron reflectivity; scattering methods; neutron reflectometry tool to probe the chemical structures; neutron scattering for amino acid crystals; and small-angle neutron scattering nanoemulsion heat transfer fluids in this book.
