“…On the surface of the folded molecules, there is a coherent hydrophobic patch, which makes the molecule amphiphilic. The amphiphilicity gives the protein the ability to strongly stick to hydrophobic surfaces [21], forming a highly stable coating which can be used to promote biocompatibility [22], and to act as an intermediate layer for cells, proteins, or other type of molecules binding. Previous studies [23,24] demonstrated the ability of class II HFB from Trichoderma reesei to efficently coat thermally-hydrocarbonized porous silicon nanoparticles and to synthesize beclomethasone dipropionate/protein-coated nanoparticles for drug delivery purposes.…”

“…This fungus is industrially produced as human food, and it accounts for nearly a quarter of the world mushroom production . It is also used for the bioconversion of agricultural, industrial, and lignocellulose wastes, , as a source of enzymes and other chemicals for industrial and medical applications, − as an agent for bioremediation, and as an organic fertilizer . In a recent work, we have exploited the coating properties of a P.…”

Langmuir−Blodgett Film of Hydrophobin Protein from Pleurotus ostreatus at the Air−Water Interface

We present results concerning the formation of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of a class I hydrophobin from Pleurotus ostreatus at the air-water interface, and their structure as Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films when deposited on silicon substrates. LB films of the hydrophobin were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). We observed that the compressed film at the air-water interface exhibits a molecular depletion even at low surface pressure. In order to estimate the surface molecular concentration, we fit the experimental isotherm with Volmer's equation describing the equation of state for molecular monolayers. We found that about (1)/ 10 of the molecules contribute to the surface film formation. When transferred on silicon substrates, compact and uniform monomolecular layers about 2.5 nm thick, comparable to a typical molecular size, were observed. The monolayers coexist with protein aggregates, under the typical rodlet form with a uniform thickness of about 5.0 nm. The observed rodlets appear to be a hydrophilic bilayer and can then be responsible for the surface molecular depletion.

“…Confrontando lo spettro biologico di Capo Frasca con quello di altri Capi gia studiati (BALLERO 1988;BALLERo e BoccHIERI, 1987;BoccHIERI, 1990;BoccHIERI et al, 1988;CAMARDA e BALLERO, 1981;MARTINOLI, 1950;VALSECcm, 1966b), si puo rilevare una certa somiglianza con Capo Mannu situato poco piu a Nord e con Capo Bellavista (BoccHIERI, 1990), localizzato alla stessa latitudine lungo le coste orientali della Sardegna (tab. 1).…”
