What Techniques are Used to Study These Interactions?
Several analytical techniques are employed to study protein-nanomaterial interactions. These include:
Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR): Measures the binding affinity and kinetics of protein-nanomaterial interactions. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): Provides high-resolution images of the interaction at the nanoscale. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS): Determines the size and aggregation state of nanoparticles in the presence of proteins. Circular Dichroism (CD) Spectroscopy: Analyzes changes in the secondary structure of proteins upon interaction with nanomaterials.
