Protein adsorption at solid surfaces plays a key role in many natural processes and has
therefore promoted a widespread interest in many research areas. Despite considerable …

Peptide sequences are known to recognize and bind different nanomaterial surfaces, which
has resulted in the screening and identification of hundreds of peptides with the ability to …

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

Many physical phenomena and properties of soft matter systems such as synthetic or
biological materials are governed by interactions and processes on a wide range of length …

Catalytic reactions involve the direct interaction of reactants, intermediates and products with
the catalyst surface. We not only need to control the atomic structure and electronic …

Interactions of proteins with inorganic surfaces are of high importance in biological events
and in modern biotechnological applications. Therefore, peptides have been engineered to …

For simulation studies of (macro) molecular liquids it would be of significant interest to be
able to adjust or increase the level of resolution within one region of space, while allowing …

Protein–nanoparticle associations have important applications in nanoscience and
nanotechnology such as targeted drug delivery and theranostics. However, the mechanisms …

We present evidence that specific material recognition by small peptides is governed by
local solvent density variations at solid/liquid interfaces, sensed by the side-chain residues …

Materials created by dispersing nanoparticles in a polymer matrix strive to meet the promise
of enhanced and often unique properties at a reduced cost. The availability of structure …
