Immobilized antibody systems are the key to develop efficient diagnostics and separations
tools. In the last decade, developments in the field of biomolecular engineering and …

Molecular simulations of large biological systems, such as viral capsids, remains a
challenging task in soft matter research. On one hand, coarse-grained (CG) models attempt …

Several applications arise from the confinement of proteins on surfaces because their
stability and biological activity are enhanced. It is also known that the way in which a protein …

Electrostatic interactions are crucial for the assembly, disassembly and stability of
proteinaceous viral capsids. Moreover, at the molecular scale, elucidating the organization …

Hydrogenases are a group of enzymes that have caught the interest of researchers in
renewable energies, due to their ability to catalyze the redox reaction of hydrogen. The …

Under the most common experimental conditions, the adsorption of proteins to solid
surfaces is a spontaneous process that leads to a rather compact layer of randomly oriented …

An accurate force calculation with the Poisson–Boltzmann equation is challenging, as it
requires the electric field on the molecular surface. Here we present a calculation of the …

Interactions between surfaces and proteins occur in many vital processes and are crucial in
biotechnology: the ability to control specific interactions is essential in fields like …

A key factor for improving the sensitivity and performance of immunosensors based on
mechanical–plasmonic methods is the orientation of the antibody proteins immobilized on …

Experimental and theoretical reports have shown that nanostructured surfaces have a
dramatic effect on the amount of protein adsorbed and the conformational state and, in turn …
