Upon contact with bodily fluids/tissues, exogenous materials spontaneously develop a layer
of proteins on their surface. In the case of biomedical implants and equipment, biological …

Ellipsometry is an optical surface-sensitive method for the investigation of various aspects of
protein adsorption mainly at reflecting metal surfaces and ceramic surfaces. One interesting …

This article describes the optimization of an experimental technique referred to as electric
cell–substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) to monitor attachment and spreading of …

This study deals with the synthesis of cysteine capped gold nanoparticles with an average
size of 12nm by borohydride reduction and spectroscopic identification of SAu interaction …

Gold nanoparticles in aqueous dispersions were prepared by two methods, using sodium
citrate as reduction agent, and their interaction with l-cysteine was investigated. UV–vis …

Microscopic structures for molecular monolayers of l-cysteine and l-cystine assembled on Au
(111) have been disclosed by employing electrochemistry and in situ scanning tunneling …

Nanoreactor frameworks have many advantages over bulk catalyst structures in terms of
providing a regular reaction environment and conformational stability. In this work, Au …

The development of accurate analytical tools to control the interfacial properties of solid
substrates is of importance for the design of new biomaterials, as well as for the …

The sticking probability (ie, the rate of adsorption per molecular collision with the surface) is
the most fundamental and powerful way to express adsorption rate constants, yet its …

The interaction of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with cysteine and its derivatives is the basis of
a number of bionanotechnologies, and for these, the most important process is aggregation …
