Hydroxylapatite (or hydroxyapatite, HAp) exhibits excellent biocompatibility with various
kinds of cells and tissues, making it an ideal candidate for tissue engineering, orthopedic …

In this study, nanohydroxyapatite (HA) with a rod shape and controllable size was rapidly
and efficiently synthesized in the presence of two different amino acids (glycine, serine) by a …

Acid sites, base sites, and acid–base site pairs on zirconia, magnesia, and hydroxyapatite
were investigated using diffuse reflectance FT-IR spectroscopy (DRIFTS) to evaluate the …

In situ IR and mass spectrometry evidence for the catalytic formation on SiO2 and TiO2
surfaces of glycine oligomers (poly‐Gly) up to 16 units long by successive feeding with …

The adsorption of glycine, cysteine and glutamic acid by gibbsite and montmorillonite was
studied as a function of amino acid concentration and solution pH. Zeta potential …

Nanoparticles in biological media form dynamic entities as a result of competitive adsorption
of proteins on nanoparticle surfaces called protein coronas. The protein affinity toward …

Interactions between biomolecules and inorganic surfaces play an important role in natural
environments and in industry, including a wide variety of conditions: marine environment …

We present an accurate ab initio study of the structure and surface energy of the low-index
(100),(111) and (110) diamond faces, by using the hybrid Hartree–Fock/density functional …

Aqueous glycine plays many different roles in living systems, from being a building block for
proteins to being a neurotransmitter. To better understand its fundamental behavior, we …
