Understanding protein adsorption kinetics to surfaces is of importance for various environmental and biomedical applications. Adsorption of bovine serum albumin to various self-assembled monolayer surfaces including neutral and charged hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces was investigated using in-situ combinatorial quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation and spectroscopic ellipsometry. Ad...

in the present study, the binding isotherms for interaction of a homologous series of n-alkyltrimethyl ammonium bromides with bovine serum albumin (bsa) have been analyzed on basis of intrinsic thermodynamic quantities. in this regards, the intrinsic gibbs free energy of binding, agb(i,)„ has been estimated at various surfactant concentrations and its trend of variation for both binding sets ha...

objective(s) mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) from large animals as goat which is genetically more closely related to human have rarely been gained attentions. the present study tried to isolate and characterize mscs from goat bone marrow. materials and methods fibroblastic cells appeared in goat marrow cell culture were expanded through several subcultures. passaged-3 cells were then differentiat...

Background The aim of this study was to establish a cell-free sequential culture system that can support high levels of in vitro embryo development and blastocyst formation from bovine zygotes. To this end, this investigation was carried out to evaluate the effects of glucose, serum and EDTA on bovine zygote in vitro development. MaterialsAndMethods Bovine presumptive zygotes were derived from ...

The nuclear magnetic resonance line widths of water sorbed on solid bovine serum albumin have been determined as functions of temperature and water content of the albumin samples. The results indicate that, depending on its amount, the sorbed water may exist in three different states or arrangements. The first of these involves direct binding of water molecules to available polar groups on the ...

In this paper the aggregation of surface modified colloidal particles is presented, paying special attention to the cluster structure and growth. The surface was modified by adsorbing bovine serum albumin (BSA). The interaction potential develops a minimum of restricted depth, weakening the clusters which subsequently restructure and form more compact morphologies. This minimum is responsible f...

A brief historical review is presented of the development of bovine serum albumin as a standard for the determination of serum total protein. Bovine serum albumin is now available as a standard reference material from the National Bureau of Standards. Also reviewed is the present status of the immunoglobulin standards.
