The objective of this paper is to give an overview of properties, synthesis and applications,
and to describe the research performed until the present moment. A significant amount of …

The understanding of adsorption of proteins and nucleic acids on clay minerals and their
interactions is important in biological applications for soil ecosystem, the earth's biochemical …

The present paper offers a review of recent (post-1980) work on amino acid adsorption and
thermal reactivity on oxide and sulfide minerals. This review is performed in the general …

In this study we perform X-ray diffraction and XPS analysis to study the adsorption of the
herbicide glyphosate on montmorillonite. Structures of the surface complexes are proposed …

hydrogen bonding between substrate and adsorbate or Lewis acid–Lewis base reaction 125 …

The abiotic polymerization of amino acids may have been important for the origin of life, as
peptides may have been components of the first self-replicating systems. Though amino acid …

We have determined the structures of dense adlayers of glycine and alanine on the Cu (110)
and Cu (100) surfaces using plane wave density functional theory. These calculations …

Adsorption, electrokinetic properties and the interactions between biomolecules and clay
minerals have recently received much attention, owing to the physicochemical and …

Understanding structural changes in clay minerals induced by complexation with organic
matter is relevant to soil science and agricultural applications. In this study, the effect of …

Inspired by nature, many applications and new materials benefit from the interplay of
inorganic materials and biomolecules. A fundamental understanding of complex organic …
