A materials science framework for connecting protein stability with surface adsorption and coating applications by Ma, Gamaliel Junren

“…To test this hypothesis, serum albumins as model proteins with modulated conformational stabilities based on their structure and processing, in line with the materials science paradigm, were comparatively evaluated using an experimental approach that characterized the proteins’ solution-phase conformational stabilities by measuring their temperature-dependent aggregation profiles and degree of secondary structural unfolding, and also that which characterized the proteins’ adsorption behavior by measuring their adsorption uptake, adsorption rate and extent of surface-induced denaturation. …”
