Protein adsorption at solid surfaces plays a key role in many natural processes and has
therefore promoted a widespread interest in many research areas. Despite considerable …

The interactions of proteins and polyelectrolytes lead to diverse applications in separations,
delivery and wound repair, and are thus of interest to scientists in eg (a) glycobiology,(b) …

The mechanism of protein–polyelectrolyte complexation on the wrong side of the isoelectric
point has long puzzled researchers. Two alternative explanations have been proposed in …

Complexation of proteins with polyelectrolytes or block copolymers can lead to phase
separation to generate a coacervate phase or self-assembly of coacervate core micelles …

In this review, we highlight the recent progress in our understanding of the structure,
properties and applications of protein–polyelectrolyte complexes in both bulk and micellar …

Proteins and other biomolecules contain acidic and basic titratable groups that give rise to
intricate charge distributions and control electrostatic interactions.'Charge …

Implantation using stainless steels (SS) is an example where an understanding of protein-
induced metal release from SS is important when assessing potential toxicological risks …

Lipid membranes regulate the flow of nutrients and communication signaling between cells
and protect the sub-cellular structures. Recent attempts to fabricate artificial systems using …

Cationic spherical polyelectrolyte brushes (SPBs) were synthesized by photoemulsion
polymerization, consisting of a polystyrene core with a diameter around 80 nm and a poly (2 …

We review the interaction of charged polymeric systems with proteins. In solutions of low
ionic strength there are many examples of proteins attracted to polyelectrolytes even if both …
