Protein adsorption in relation to bulk phase properties. Beta-lactoglobulins in solution and at the solid/liquid interface
The adsorption at solid/liquid interfaces of b-lactoglobulin (b-lg) A and B have been studied by in situ ellipsometry and related to the properties of these proteins in solution. At low temperatures (4-25°C) the adsorption of the b-lgs was found to be highly related to their self-association behaviour in solution. The adsorption isotherms at 25°C, both on methylated and hydrophilic silica, showed
