Protein interaction with SiO 2 and AgNPs: from adsorption on solid surfaces to organization and conformational changes

Driven by many applications, the development of new biomaterials has considerably increased in the last decade. The current research strategies also involve revealing of the relationship between protein structure and function due to the exposure and interaction of proteins with non-biological organic and inorganic solid surfaces. Aiming at understanding of the mechanisms of protein adsorption on s...
