The surface chemistry of proteins

Monolayers of polyvinyl butyrals

“…If the assumption is correct, the experimental limiting areas of these polymers on distilled water should coincide with the theoretical ones calculated by eq. [2]. However, the experimental limiting areas were smaller than the values calculated.…”

“…[2], we assumed that the limiting area of the polymer partially substituted with butyral groups was the sum of the areas of hydrophilic (residual PVA) and hydrophobic (vinyl butyrai residue) portions. If the assumption is correct, the experimental limiting areas of these polymers on distilled water should coincide with the theoretical ones calculated by eq.…”

“…Many studies have been made on the monolayers of water soluble or insoluble polymers (1)(2)(3). However, the studies of polymer monolayers which contained both water soluble and insoluble portions have been very scarce (3)(4)(5)(6).…”

The Effect of α-Radiation on Protein Monolayers

“…0 5~ sodium acetate (Cumper and Alexander 1950). It was spread onto the water surface using an "Agla" micrometer all-glass syringe with two different spreading techniques: firstly, using the conventional dropwise method, where each drop was touched upon a different part of the trough; secondly, by Trurnit's (1960) method, where the solution flowed from the syringe down a 7 mm diameter glass rod projecting 6 cm above the water surface.…”

Effect of surface charge on adsorption of bovine serum albumin 2. Interaction of protein molecules with an anionic monolayer, as studied by ellipsometry, radiotracer and surface tension measurements

“…The adsorption of protein at the air/water interface has been reported by several workers to accompany surface coagulation [1,2], N 356 over-adsorption [3,4], and multilayer formation [5,6]. In 1949, Matalon and Schulman reported the interaction of proteins with spread monolayer by measuring surface pressure change [7].…”
