Abstract
This work proposes the study of the preparation of S-layer proteins-polymer particles supports by adsorption of the proteins on the polymer particles in aqueous dispersion. S-layer proteins were isolated from two Lentilactobacillus kefiri strains exhibiting different aggregative properties. Polyacrylic particles with similar sizes (around 70 nm) but different surface functionality (alkyl, hydroxylic, carboxylic), were obtained by emulsion polymerization and characterized. Combining them, adsorption isotherms were built. Adsorption isotherms follow the Langmuir-Freundlich model and show that the maximum amount of adsorbed protein was dependent on the protein/polymer combination. Both proteins showed a preference for particles containing carboxylic groups at the surface. Although the protein isolated from the non-aggregating strain presented the highest affinity for this surface, the protein obtained from the aggregating one led to the maximum amount of sorbed protein. The studies performed before and after sorption showed that the S-layer protein isolated from the aggregating strain presented a higher capacity to modify its secondary structure.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces is an international journal devoted to fundamental and applied research on colloid and interfacial phenomena in relation to systems of biological origin, having particular relevance to the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food and cosmetic fields.
Submissions that: (1) deal solely with biological phenomena and do not describe the physico-chemical or colloid-chemical background and/or mechanism of the phenomena, and (2) deal solely with colloid/interfacial phenomena and do not have appropriate biological content or relevance, are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
The journal publishes regular research papers, reviews, short communications and invited perspective articles, called BioInterface Perspectives. The BioInterface Perspective provide researchers the opportunity to review their own work, as well as provide insight into the work of others that inspired and influenced the author. Regular articles should have a maximum total length of 6,000 words. In addition, a (combined) maximum of 8 normal-sized figures and/or tables is allowed (so for instance 3 tables and 5 figures). For multiple-panel figures each set of two panels equates to one figure. Short communications should not exceed half of the above. It is required to give on the article cover page a short statistical summary of the article listing the total number of words and tables/figures.
