This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book relates to the scientific records of a workshop held in Patras, Greece, in June 1989, under the auspices and with financial support of the European Economic Communities (Concerted Action EUROBIOMAT - Hemocompatibility - of the Medical Research Programme, Project: 11.1.212). This concerted action promotes the collaboration on science and technology on the particular field of hemocompatible biomaterials: exchange of experts, scholarships and scientific workshops within the EC-member countries and COST countries such as Sweden, Finland, Turkey, Switzerland. The first part of this monography refers to the oral presentations of the par ticipants. The second part gives the book its unique character: the scientific discussion on updated aspects of protein adsorption of synthetic polymers in contact with blood. This second part is subdivided into nine chapters where specific topics were discussed freely, open-minded and even controversially. This book intends to elucidate recurrent questions concerning the initial event when blood contacts artificial surfaces. Young investigators will consider this book to be appropriate to get familiar with the scientific background and the most relevant techniques and methods.

Book Interactions Between Proteins and Biomaterials

Download or read book Interactions Between Proteins and Biomaterials written by Evangelos Liamas and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the interactions between proteins and biomaterials underpins the development of novel biomaterials that could produce a specific response towards the surrounding tissue, depending on the application. In this thesis, a combination of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and experimental techniques was deployed to systematically study the effect of the biomaterial surface chemistry on the adsorption of proteins, and consequently the effect of proteins on the lifetime of a metallic biomaterial. It was found that the surface chemistry could have a significant impact on the protein adsorption process because it affects the adsorption kinetics, the driving forces of adsorption, the conformation of the adsorbed protein, and the functionality of the adsorbed protein. Furthermore, the adsorbed proteins could greatly affect the lifetime of a metallic biomaterial via tribocorrosion process where the biomaterial surface is subjected to friction.

Book Understanding Milk Protein Adsorption as a Model to Study Sample Loss in Proteomics

Download or read book Understanding Milk Protein Adsorption as a Model to Study Sample Loss in Proteomics written by Ameya Vinay Ranade and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-specific protein adsorption is one of the causes of sample loss in biological experiments. This is a cause of concern in studies where samples are complex and many of the constituent proteins are low abundant, unquantified or unidentified. Since the proteins are irreversibly lost from the samples, it eludes their detection and their role in biological systems cannot be ascertained. This sample loss is unpredictable and non-reproducible which leads to distorted data. On an industrial scale, non-specific adsorption of proteins on machinery may reduce the machine's efficiency and life. Similarly, unaccounted sample loss due to adsorption during storage contributes to transmission losses to the manufacturer. Various external factors affect protein adsorption that can be exploited to reduce sample loss. In this work, we studied milk proteome adsorption and attempted to quantify the effect of three prominent external factors on the differential adsorption pattern of milk proteins. For this project, we optimized an in-house developed DPA method based on SDS-PAGE, which not only is tag-less and MS compatible but also fast and economical.

Book Characterization of Biomaterials

Download or read book Characterization of Biomaterials written by Y.M. Thasneem and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of biomaterials as a powerful regulator of the cellular microenvironment for application in drug discovery/delivery, tissue engineering, and implant biology, requires a better understanding of cell-surface interactions at macro, micro, and nanometre levels. Cell–substrate interactions are multifaceted, involving the integration of various physical and biochemical signals. The interactions among these micro-environmental factors cannot be facilely elucidated and quantified by conventional experimentations, and this necessitates multifactorial strategies. A major task in the biomaterials field would be to develop advanced tools that can offer greater insight into characterizing the cellular behavior and interactions on the material interface. Obtaining this information is crucial in taking biomaterial science to new realms for biomedical applications. The contribution of molecular techniques to elucidate the cell–biomaterial interactions is indispensable on the time-course and level of expression of particular genes that determine cellular phenotype. The amalgamation of multiple disciplines has already produced many interesting techniques and approaches for the cell–biomaterial characterization, of which we have tried to provide a comprehensive and integrated description. The main focus of this book chapter is to explore the toolbox contents available in elucidating the cell–biomaterial interactions. We brief about the topographical, mechanical and biochemical changes faced by a cell upon the rendezvous of any surface in particular with the cell–biomaterial interface. The material characteristics playing cards in directing cellular behavior are straightened out. We also discuss the current knowledge of how a cell can interact with a substrate at the nanoscale and the effect of size, morphology, organization and separation of nanofeatures on cell response.

Book Protein Nanoparticle Interactions

Download or read book Protein Nanoparticle Interactions written by Masoud Rahman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-24 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the fabrication of nanomaterials and exploration of their properties have attracted the attention of various scientific disciplines such as biology, physics, chemistry, and engineering. Although nanoparticulate systems are of significant interest in various scientific and technological areas, there is little known about the safety of these nanoscale objects. It has now been established that the surfaces of nanoparticles are immediately covered by biomolecules (e.g. proteins, ions, and enzymes) upon their entrance into a biological medium. This interaction with the biological medium modulates the surface of the nanoparticles, conferring a “biological identity” to their surfaces (referred to as a “corona”), which determines the subsequent cellular/tissue responses. The new interface between the nanoparticles and the biological medium/proteins, called “bio-nano interface,” has been very rarely studied in detail to date, though the interest in this topic is rapidly growing. In this book, the importance of the physiochemical characteristics of nanoparticles for the properties of the protein corona is discussed in detail, followed by comprehensive descriptions of the methods for assessing the protein-nanoparticle interactions. The advantages and limitations of available corona evaluation methods (e.g. spectroscopy methods, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, electron microscopy, X-ray crystallography, and differential centrifugal sedimentation) are examined in detail, followed by a discussion of the possibilities for enhancing the current methods and a call for new techniques. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of protein-nanoparticle interaction phenomena are explored and discussed, with a focus on the biological impacts.
