چکیده
Using constant current chronopotentiometry we showed that in 50 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7) bovine serum albumin and some other proteins were not significantly denatured at a bare mercury electrode while at higher phosphate concentrations they underwent electric field-driven denaturation on the electrode surface.

متن کاملHeteroprotein complex coacervation: bovine β-lactoglobulin and lactoferrin.
Lactoferrin (LF) and β-lactoglobulin (BLG), strongly basic and weakly acidic bovine milk proteins, form optically clear coacervates under highly limited conditions of pH, ionic strength I, total protein concentration C(P), and BLG:LF stoichiometry. At 1:1 weight ratio, the coacervate composition has the same stoichiometry as its supernatant, which along with DLS measurements is consistent with ...
متن کاملSurface Physicochemistry and Ionic Strength Affects eDNA’s Role in Bacterial Adhesion to Abiotic Surfaces
Extracellular DNA (eDNA) is an important structural component of biofilms formed by many bacteria, but few reports have focused on its role in initial cell adhesion. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of eDNA in bacterial adhesion to abiotic surfaces, and determine to which extent eDNA-mediated adhesion depends on the physicochemical properties of the surface and surrounding liqu...
متن کاملExtending the shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy approach to interfacial ionic liquids at single crystal electrode surfaces.
We employ, for the first time, a shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhancement strategy to extend Raman spectroscopy studies to single crystal electrode surfaces in ionic liquids, and combine density functional theory (DFT) calculations to elucidate the structural details of the imidazolium-based ionic liquid-Au single crystal electrode interfaces.
متن کاملDirect DNA Immobilization onto a Carbon Nanotube Modified Electrode: Study on the Influence of pH and Ionic Strength
Over the past years, DNA biosensors have been developed to analyze DNA interaction and damage that have important applications in biotechnological researches. The immobilization of DNA onto a substrate is one key step for construction of DNA electrochemical biosensors. In this report, a direct approach has been described for immobilization of single strand DNA onto carboxylic acid-functionalize...
