Role of ions on the surface-bound water structure at the silica/water interface: Identifying the spectral signature of stability

B Rehl, JM Gibbs - The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2021 - ACS Publications
Isolating the hydrogen-bonding structure of water immediately at the surface is challenging,
even with surface-specific techniques like sum-frequency generation (SFG), because of the …

Measurements and theoretical interpretation of points of zero charge/potential of BSA protein

A Salis, M Boström, L Medda, F Cugia, B Barse… - Langmuir, 2011 - ACS Publications
The points of zero charge/potential of proteins depend not only on pH but also on how they
are measured. They depend also on background salt solution type and concentration. The …
