The control of protein adsorption at materials surfaces is still a challenge in research and is of great interest for the development of various biotechnological and biomedical applications. The 94th Bunsen colloquium is held for scientists aiming at a detailed understanding of protein adsorption on a molecular level. This includes the study of the adsorption mechanism as well as the characterization of the protein-interface interactions. The colloquium will bring together scientist from theory and experiments. Novel protein-interface systems will be presented and discussed which allow for a controlled adsorption of proteins at aqueous-solid interfaces and an optimized biological activity of immobilized proteins. The following topics will be covered:
· Protein adsorption at planar interfaces and colloidal particles
· Protein-interface interactions
· Mechanism of protein adsorption and protein resistance
· Surface modifications to optimize or suppress protein adsorption (e. g., polyelectrolyte multilayers, polyelectrolyte brushes, self-assembled monolayers)
· Conformation and biological activity of proteins at interfaces

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
