Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), due to infection by the severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is now causing a global pandemic. Aerosol …

Protein adsorption is considered to be the most important factor of the interaction between
polymeric biomaterials and body fluids or tissues. Water‐mediated hydrophobic and …

Zwitterionic polymers exhibit excellent nonfouling performance due to their strong surface
hydrations. However, salt molecules may severely reduce the surface hydrations of typical …

Understanding protein–inorganic surface interactions is central to the rational design of new
tools in biomaterial sciences, nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine. Although a significant …

Membrane fouling remains a tremendous obstacle in the implementation of membrane
technology, which has motivated the use of a wide range of experimental techniques to …

There is considerable evidence for the slaving of biomolecular dynamics to the motions of
the surrounding solvent environment, but to date there have been few direct experimental …

Protein adsorption, which shows wide prospects in many practical applications such as
biosensors, biofuel cells, and biomaterials, has long been identified as a very complex …

The aim of this study was to explore the influence of amphiphilic and zwitterionic structures
on the resistance of protein adsorption to peptide self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and …

The glycocalyx of the cell is composed of highly hydrated saccharidic groups conjugated to
protein and lipid cores. Although components of the glycocalyx are important in cell–cell …

Simulating the adsorption of a peptide or protein and obtaining quantitative estimates of
thermodynamic observables remains challenging for many reasons. One reason is the …
