Protien adsorption

The surface properties of mixed aqueous dispersions of lysozyme and silica nanoparticles were studied using surface-sensitive techniques in order to gain insight into the mechanism of simultaneous adsorption of protein/nanoparticle complexes and free protein as well as the resulting layer morphologies. The properties were first monitored in situ during adsorption at the air-water interface using dilatational surface rheology, ellipsometry and Brewster angle microscopy. Two main steps in the evolution of the surface properties were identified...

DNA-protien crosslinks produced in mouse leukemia L1210 cells by trans-Pt(II)diamminedichloride were quantitated using the technique of DNA alkaline elution. DNA single-strand segments that were or were not linked to protein were separable into distinct components by alkaline elution after exposure of the cells to 2--15 kR of X-ray. Protein-linked DNA strands were separated on the basis of their retention of filters at pH 12 while free DNA strands of the size generated by 2--15 kR of X-ray passed rapidly through the filters...
