Abstract
Proteins are abundant biomolecules found in human cells, as well as pathogenic bacteria and viruses. Some of them become pollutants when released into water. Adsorption is an advantageous method for separating proteins in aqueous media since proteins are already immobilized on solid surfaces. Adsorbents with surfaces rich in tannins are efficient due to their affinity for strong interactions with the various amino acids that make up proteins. This work aimed to develop an adsorbent for protein adsorption in aqueous medium using lignocellulosic materials modified from eucalyptus bark and vegetable tannins. A more efficient resin was prepared containing 10% eucalyptus bark fibers and 90% tannin mimosa by condensation with formaldehyde, and it was characterized by UV-Vis, FTIR-ATR spectroscopy and determinations of degree of swelling, bulk and bulk density and specific mass. For UV-Vis spectroscopy the percentage of condensed and hydrolysable tannins in the extracts of fibers of the dry husks of Eucalyptus Citriodora was estimated and it was also determined your soluble solids. The study of bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption was carried out in batch with quantification by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The most efficient prepared resin obtained 71.6 ± 2.78% removal in a solution of 260 mg L-1 of BSA working in a better pH range of the aqueous solution of BSA in its isoelectric point, ~ 5, 32 ± 0.02, under these conditions, the synthesized resin can reach a maximum BSA adsorption capacity of ~ 26.7 ± 0.29 mg g-1 in 7 min. The new synthesized resin presents good prospects for adsorption of proteins or species that in their structure have higher percentages of amino functional groups or amino acids with aliphatic, acidic and/or basic hydrophilic characteristics.

Abstract
Understanding how antibodies adsorb on solid surfaces is essential for developing effective approaches to control this process. In this study, passive adsorptions on the hydrophobic solid surface of a polystyrene microparticle (MP) of two highly similar IgG1 κ-type monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), rituximab, and trastuzumab, were examined in the presence of Hofmeister salts. Except of kosmotropic salts, the screening of electrostatic interactions using salts reduces the passive adsorption of mAbs on MP. To better understand the ion-specific adsorption process, salt-dependent Langmuir isotherm parameters were obtained and correlated for two mAbs. We find that while their maximum adsorption capacities to MPs are highly correlated (r > 0.9), the salt-dependent profiles of adsorption binding constants, Kobs, differ substantially. For rituximab, Kobs increases >10-fold in an ion-specific manner; for trastuzumab, Kobs remains constant. We conclude that even minor sequence variations among the mAbs can affect the adsorption, as well as the molecular forces attracting proteins to a solid surface. This difference might originate from the heterogeneous orientation of the adsorbed mAbs.

Abstract
Quantifying the number of charges on peptides bound to interfaces requires reliable estimates of (i) surface coverage and (ii) surface charge, both of which are notoriously difficult parameters to obtain, especially at solid/water interfaces. Here, we report the thermodynamics and electrostatics governing the interactions of l-lysine and l-arginine octamers (Lys8 and Arg8) with supported lipid bilayers prepared.
Quantifying the number of charges on peptides bound to interfaces requires reliable estimates of (i) surface coverage and (ii) surface charge, both of which are notoriously difficult parameters to obtain, especially at solid/water interfaces. Here, we report the thermodynamics and electrostatics governing the interactions of l-lysine and l-arginine octamers (Lys8 and Arg8) with supported lipid bilayers prepared from a 9 : 1 mixture of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) and 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1′-rac-glycerol) (sodium salt) (DMPG) from second harmonic generation (SHG) spectroscopy, quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) and nanoplasmonic sensing (NPS) mass measurements, and atomistic simulations. The combined SHG/QCM-D/NPS approach provides interfacial charge density estimates from mean field theory for the attached peptides that are smaller by a factor of approximately two (0.12 ± 0.03 C m–2 for Lys8 and 0.10 ± 0.02 C m–2 for Arg8) relative to poly-l-lysine and poly-l-arginine. These results, along with atomistic simulations, indicate that the surface charge density of the supported lipid bilayer is neutralized by the attached cationic peptides. Moreover, the number of charges associated with each attached peptide is commensurate with those found in solution; that is, Lys8 and Arg8 are fully ionized when attached to the bilayer. Computer simulations indicate Lys8 is more likely than Arg8 to “stand-up” on the surface, interacting with lipid headgroups through one or two sidechains while Arg8 is more likely to assume a “buried” conformation, interacting with the bilayer through up to six sidechains. Analysis of electrostatic potential and charge distribution from atomistic simulations suggests that the Gouy–Chapman model, which is widely used for mapping surface potential to surface charge, is semi-quantitatively valid; despite considerable orientational preference of interfacial water, the apparent dielectric constant for the interfacial solvent is about 30, due to the thermal fluctuation of the lipid–water interface.
