The adsorption of proteins to surfaces is a central concern for the rational design and application of materials. The rate and strengths of the initial physical interactions between proteins and surfaces dictate (to a large degree) the final conformation, stability, and activity of such proteins. This issue, that plays a major role in determining the biocompatibility of materials, can also dictate the analytical performance of almost every analytical device that uses a biorecognition element (antigen, antibody, enzyme, nucleic acids, or even whole cells). Here are described several of the project that we have recently published in this area.
