Publisher Summary Proteins are interfacially active molecules; this is easily demonstrated
by the spontaneous accumulation of proteins at interfaces. Protein is an amphoteric …

The causes of protein heterogeneity during adsorption on different types of surfaces are
examined. The analysis includes surfaces for adsorption, monolayer adsorption …

Recent theoretical and experimental results pertinent to protein adsorption kinetics obtained
for well-defined systems using direct experimental techniques are discussed. Attention is …

Proteins are copolymers of some 22 different amino acids of varying hydrophobicity (Fig. 1).
As a consequence, proteins are more or less amphiphilic and, therefore, usually highly …

The research field of protein adsorption on surfaces appears to be as popular as ever. In the
past year, several hundred published papers tackled problems ranging from fundamental …

Protein adsorption is important for essentially any process that involves the contact of a
protein-containing solution and a material surface, with the resulting formation of the …

The phenomenon of protein adsorption to solid surfaces affects the performance of many
materials and processes, in areas ranging from medicine to biochemical engineering …

Statistical–thermodynamic models for the equilibrium adsorption of proteins onto
homogeneous, locally planar surfaces are presented. An extension of earlier work [RC …

This paper concisely reviews the general principles underlying protein adsorption from
aqueous solution onto a solid surface. The discussion includes the various stages of the …

Interactions between surfaces and proteins are of great importance throughout nature. The
earliest life forms may have begun through the ordered assembly of molecules at the …
