“…A number of papers have reported the application of the electrochemical QCM (EQCM), usually together with voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) or surface analysis techniques [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].…”
The interaction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein with copper in phosphate buffer solution has been studied by a combination of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) close to the open circuit potential, with simultaneous monitoring by the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), in order to throw light on BSA adsorption. Copper films were electroplated onto gold quartz crystals and mounted in the EQCM. Experiments were conducted in the presence and absence of dissolved oxygen and of BSA and the results show the influence of O 2 on the protein/metal interaction and also show specific interactions between BSA and copper. The good reproducibility obtained in these experiments suggests future application to other systems and which should lead to a better understanding of the use of such types of protein as corrosion inhibitors.
Systematic studies of protein adsorption onto metallic biomaterial surfaces are generally lacking. Here, combinatorial binary library films with compositional gradients of Ti(1-x)Cr(x), Ti(1-x)Al(x), Ti(1-x)Ni(x) and Al(1-x)Ta(x), (0
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
