Adsorption, Film Formation, and Conformational Stability of Proteins at Interfaces

9315123 Damodaran这个项目正在进行研究，以研究蛋白质在界面上吸附和成膜的各个方面。主要目的是：(1)阐明蛋白质的电化学势在空气-水和硅胶-水界面吸附中的作用；(2)研究磁铁蛋白在这些界面上的吸附和成膜行为；(3)研究控制蛋白质在溶液中的竞争和共吸附的分子因素；(4)研究蛋白质在空气-水界面的原位构象。这项研究对：(1)了解蛋白质的稳定性；(2)开发信息存储设备；(3)通过生物过程生产新的化学品具有潜在的重要意义。***

9315123 Damodaran This project is on research to study various aspects of protein adsorption and film formation at interfaces. The main objectives are: (1) to elucidate the role of the electrochemical potential of proteins in adsorption at the air-water and silica-water interfaces; (2) to investigate the adsorption and film forming behavior of magnetoferritin at these interfaces; (3) to study the molecular factors that govern competitive and coadsorption of proteins from solution; and (4) to study the conformation of proteins in situ at the air-water interface. This research has potential importance to: (1) understanding protein stability; (2) the development of information storage devices; and (3) the production of new chemicals by bioprocesses. ***
