新出现的研究揭示了一系列不同的界面活性蛋白质，它们参与了从产生马汗泡沫到细菌雨衣形成的各种生物过程。我们描述了一种跨学科的方法来研究控制一种名为BslA的不寻常细菌蛋白活性的分子和生物物理机制。这种蛋白质是形成生物膜所必需的，并在细菌群落上形成保护层或雨衣，但在多相制剂中也有许多潜在的应用。在这里，我们记录了我们从基础研究到研究这种表面活性蛋白质在冰淇淋中的应用的旅程。
Emerging research is revealing a diverse array of interfacially-active proteins that are involved in varied biological process from foaming horse sweat to bacterial raincoat formation. We describe an interdisciplinary approach to study the molecular and biophysical mechanisms controlling the activity of an unusual bacterial protein called BslA. This protein is needed for biofilm formation and forms a protective layer or raincoat over the bacterial community, but also has a multitude of potential applications in multiphase formulations. Here we document our journey from fundamental research to an examination of the applications for this surface-active protein in ice cream.
