Synopsis
Recognizing emerging developments in biopolymer systems research, this second edition of a survey of recent work relating to the interfacial behavior of biopolymers covers concepts, methods, and applications. The book discusses biopolymer-based multilayer structures and their application in biosensors, protein behavior at the air-water interface, experimental findings in ellipsometry and reflectometry, protein interfacial behavior in microfabricated total analysis systems and microarrays, and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopies for protein binding studies at functionalized surfaces. Malmsten is managing director of the Institute for Surface Chemistry. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Provides an overview of biopolymer interfacial behavior, specifically its physiochemical aspects, reflecting current understanding of the importance of protein adsorption in biophysical and biochemical processes as well as the relevance of such phenomena in biomedicine. Addresses aspects of biopolymer interfacial behavior such as adsorption kinetics, interfacial orientation, and interactions between biopolymer layers, and also discusses techniques such as circular dichroism, ellipsometry, and ultraviolet spectroscopy. For chemists, chemical engineers, biotechnologists, and graduate students. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
