Abstract
The addition of a surfactant and/or an increase in temperature disrupt the native structure of proteins, where high temperature further results in protein gelation. However, in a mixed protein-surfactant system, surfactant concentration and temperature have been observed to exhibit both mutually associative and counter-balancing effects towards heat-induced gelation of protein-surfactant dispersion. This study is conducted on globular bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein and cationic surfactant dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB), which interact strongly owing to their oppositely charged nature. The findings reveal that the BSA-DTAB suspension undergoes gelation with increasing temperature but only at lower concentrations of DTAB, where the presence of the surfactant facilitates gelation (associative effect). Conversely, as the surfactant concentration increases beyond a critical value, temperature-driven gelation of the BSA-DTAB system is completely inhibited, despite surfactant-induced protein denaturation (counter-balancing effect). To conceptualize these results, we compared them with observations made in a system comprising protein and a similarly charged surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). It has been further demonstrated that the anionic surfactant (SDS) can restrict protein gelation at much lower concentration compared to the cationic surfactant (DTAB). The evolution of the structure and interaction during gel formation/inhibition has been examined to understand the underlying mechanism guiding these sol-gel transitions. We present a comprehensive phase diagram, encompassing the solution/gel states of the protein-surfactant dispersion, with respect to the dispersion temperature, surfactant concentration, and ionic behavior (anionic or cationic) of the surfactants.

Abstract
The pH-shifting process is an effective encapsulation method, and it is typically performed at extreme alkaline pH, which severely limits the application. In this study, we found that there were critical pH for the unfolding proteins during pH-shifting from 7 to 12, and upon the critical pH, physiochemical characteristics of protein greatly changed, leading to a sharp increase of encapsulation of hydrophobic actives. Firstly, the critical pH for β-conglycinin (7S) or Glycinin (11S) unfolding was determined by multispectral technology. The critical pH for 7S and 11S were 10.5 and 10.3, respectively. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) obtained by β-conglycinin-curcumin nanocomposite (7S-Cur) (88.80 %) and Glycinin-curcumin nanocomposite (11S-Cur) (88.38 %) at critical pH was significantly higher than that obtained by pH 7 (7S-Cur = 16.66 % and 11S-Cur = 15.78 %), and both values were close to EE obtained by at 12 (7S-Cur = 95.16 % and 11S-Cur = 94.63 %). The large-scale application of hydrophobic functional compounds will be enhanced by the experimental results.

Abstract
The interactions among small molecular functional components (FCTs) within a food matrix have become a focal point for enhancing their stability and bioactivities. Jiuzao glutelin (JG) is a mixed plant protein within Jiuzao (a protein-rich baijiu distillation by-product). This study aimed to explore the interactions between JG and selected FCTs, including resveratrol (RES), quercetin (QUE), curcumin (CUR), and azelaic acid (AZA), and the consequential impact on stability and antioxidant activity of the complexes. The findings conclusively demonstrated that the interactions between JG and the FCTs significantly enhanced the storage stability of the complexes. Moreover, the antioxidant activity of the complexes exhibited improvement compared to their individual counterparts. This study underscores the notion that JG and FCTs mutually reinforce, exerting positive effects on stability and antioxidant activity. This symbiotic relationship can be strategically employed to augment the quality of proteins and enhance the functional properties of bioactive components through these interactions.

Abstract
Amino acid-surfactant interactions are central to numerous studies because of their increased effectiveness in chemical, biological, household and industrial use. This review will focus on the impact and effect of the physicochemical properties, temperature, pH, and surfactant chain length of the amino acid for detailed exploration of amino acids and surfactants in aqueous medium. The impact of cosolvent on self-aggregation, critical micelle concentration (CMC), and binding affinity with other biomolecules, as well as amino acid-surfactant interactions, are the epicenters. The results show that increasing the temperature causes negative enthalpy for ionic surfactants and micellization, implying that micellization and amino acids are thermodynamically spontaneous and exothermic, accompanied by positive entropy. As these physicochemical studies are additive, the amino acid and ionic surfactant interactions provide clues on protein unfolding and denaturation under different media, which further changes with a change in physiological conditions like pH, cosolvent, chain length, and temperature. On varying the pH, the net charge of the amino acid also changes and, subsequently, the binding efficiency of the amino acids to the surfactants. The presence of cosolvent causes a lowering in the hydrophobic chain, which changes the surfactant's CMC. At a reduced CMC, the hydrophobic characteristic of amino acid-surfactant associations is amplified, leading to rapid denaturation of proteins that act as propulsion under the influence of extended chain surfactants. Amino acids are one of the most intriguing classes of chemicals that produce high inhibitory efficacy. Amino acids are also a component of proteins and therefore, found in a significant part of the human body, further making them a promising candidate as corrosion inhibitors. In this review article, authors have also focused on the collection and investigation for application of amino acid-surfactant interactions in corrosion inhibition. Various predictive studies/in silico studies are also reported by many research groups, such as density functional theory (DFT) calculations and molecular dynamics simulations to obtain tentative electronic, structural, and physiochemical characteristics like energies of the highest occupied molecular orbitals and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals, binding energy, Gibb's free energy, electronegativity, polarizability, and entropy. In silico studies are helpful for the mechanism predictions of the process occurring on metal surfaces.

Abstract
Recently, various innovative technologies have been developed for the enhanced delivery of biologics as attractive formulation targets including polymeric micro and nanoparticles. Combined with personalized medicine, this area can offer a great opportunity for the improvement of therapeutics efficiency and the treatment outcome. Herein, a novel manufacturing method has been introduced to produce protein-loaded chitosan particles with controlled size. This method is based on an additive manufacturing technology that allows for the designing and production of personalized particulate based therapeutic formulations with a precise control over the shape, size, and potentially the geometry. Sprayed multi adsorbed-droplet reposing technology (SMART) consists of the high-pressure extrusion of an ink with a well determined composition using a pneumatic 3D bioprinting approach and flash freezing the extrudate at the printing bed, optionally followed by freeze drying. In the present study, we attempted to manufacture trypsin-loaded chitosan particles using SMART. The ink and products were thoroughly characterized by dynamic light scattering, rheometer, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) and Circular Dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. These characterizations confirmed the shape morphology as well as the protein integrity over the process. Further, the effect of various factors on the production were investigated. Our results showed that the concentration of the carrier, chitosan, and the lyoprotectant concentration as well as the extrusion pressure have a significant effect on the particle size. According to CD spectra, SMART ensured Trypsin's secondary structure remained intact regardless of the ink composition and pressure. However, our study revealed that the presence of 5% (w/v) lyoprotectant is essential to maintain the trypsin's proteolytic activity. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the viability of SMART as a single-step efficient process to produce biologics-based stable formulations with a precise control over the particulate morphology which can further be expanded across numerous therapeutic modalities including vaccines and cell/gene therapies.

Abstract
Due to the fact that surfactant molecules are known to alter the structure (and consequently the function) of a protein, protein–surfactant interactions are very important in the biological, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Although there are numerous studies on the interactions of albumins with surfactants, the investigations are often performed at fixed environmental conditions and limited to separate surface-active agents and consequently do not present an appropriate comparison between their different types and structures. In the present paper, the interactions between selected cationic, anionic, and nonionic surfactants, namely hexadecylpyridinium chloride (CPC), hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), polyethylene glycol sorbitan monolaurate, monopalmitate, and monooleate (TWEEN 20, TWEEN 40, and TWEEN 80, respectively) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied qualitatively and quantitatively in an aqueous solution (10 mM cacodylate buffer; pH 5.0 and 7.0) by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy supported by UV spectrophotometry and CD spectroscopy. Since in the case of all studied systems, the fluorescence intensity of BSA decreased regularly and significantly under the action of the surfactants added, the fluorescence quenching mechanism was analyzed thoroughly with the use of the Stern–Volmer equation (and its modification) and attributed to the formation of BSA–surfactant complexes. The binding efficiency and mode of interactions were evaluated among others by the determination, comparison, and discussion of the values of binding (association) constants of the newly formed complexes and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH, ΔS). Furthermore, the influence of the structure of the chosen surfactants (charge of hydrophilic head and length of hydrophobic chain) as well as different environmental conditions (pH, temperature) on the binding mode and the strength of the interaction has been investigated and elucidated.

Abstract
Gene therapy is a transfectant method for the treatment of hereditary disease, which transfers the gene mutation into the cells. In the view of the high prospects of utilization of cationic gemini surfactants as a non-viral vector for the gene transfection, we have made a comprehensive study on the interactions between a recently synthesized series of ester-functionalized cationic Cm-E2O-Cm gemini surfactants (m = 12, 14 and 16) with calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) utilizing various techniques. The micellization behavior of gemini surfactants has been altered in the presence of ctDNA. A series of measurements (fluorescence, UV-vis and time-resolved fluorescence) show that the quenching of ctDNA proceeds by a static mechanism. The competitive displacement studies (EB, AO and HO), KI quenching analysis, CD studies and viscosity measurements suggested intercalative binding mode in a stoichiometry ratio of 1:1 with the Kb (binding constant) order being: C16-E2O-C16 > C14-E2O-C14 > C12-E2O-C12. The thermodynamic parameters show that the geminis interacted with ctDNA spontaneously through ionic/electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, the theoretical approaches offer accurate insights about the binding of gemini surfactants with DNA, and are in consistence with the experimental results.

Abstract
Understanding nonionic surfactant-protein interactions is fundamental from both technological and scientific points of view. However, there is a complete absence of kinetic data for such interactions. We employed surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to determine the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of bovine lactoferrin-Brij58 interactions at various temperatures under physiological conditions (pH 7.4). The adsorption process was accelerated with increasing temperature, while the desorption rate decreased, resulting in a more thermodynamically stable complex. The kinetic energetic parameters obtained for the formation of the activated complex, [bLF-Brij58]‡, indicated that the potential energy barrier for [bLF-Brij58]‡ formation arises primarily from the reduction in system entropy. [bLF-Brij58]○ formation was entropically driven, indicating that hydrophobic interactions play a fundamental role in bLF interactions with Brij58.

Abstract
Intranasal immunization with surfactants as vaccine adjuvants enhances protective immunity against invasive mucosal pathogens. However, the effects of surfactants and their adjuvanticity on mucosal immune responses remain unclear. Comparison of the mucosal adjuvanticity of 20 water-soluble surfactants from the four classes based upon the polarity composition of the hydrophilic headgroup revealed that the order of mucosal adjuvanticity was as follows: amphoteric > nonionic > cationic > anionic. Within the same class, each surfactant displayed different adjuvanticity values. Analysis of the diameter and ζ-potential of amphoteric surfactant-OVA complexes and their surface physicochemical properties revealed that the diameter was approximately 100 nm, which is considered suitable for immune induction, and that the ζ-potential of the anionic surfactant-OVA complexes was exceedingly negative. The increase in the number of carbon atoms in the hydrophobic tailgroups of the amphoteric surfactant resulted in an increase in the OVA-specific Ab titers. Our findings demonstrate that amphoteric surfactants exhibit potent mucosal adjuvanticity and highlight the importance of the number of carbon atoms in the tailgroups and the diameter and ζ-potential of the complexes when designing mucosal adjuvants.

The aim of the study was to elucidate the influence of the hydrophilic group and the length of the hydrophobic chain of these surfactants on the mechanism of binding to BSA. The results revealed that for both surfactants, at low concentrations, the Stern–Volmer plots had an upward curvature and at high concentrations, the quenching efficiency was decreased with increase in surfactant concentration. Different thermodynamics parameters demonstrated the existence of hydrogen bond and van der Waals force which acting as binding forces. Static quenching was observed among the protein and surfactant. The conformation of BSA was changed at higher surfactant concentrations as shown by synchronous fluorescence and CD spectroscopy. This work reveals the mechanism and binding characteristics between guanidine surfactants and protein, and provided the basis for further applications of surfactants.

Abstract
Phosphotriestease (PTE), also known as parathion hydrolase, has the ability to hydrolyze the triester linkage of organophosphate (OP) pesticides and chemical warfare nerve agents, making it highly suitable for environment remediation. Here, we studied the effects of various surfactants and commercial detergents on the esterase activity of a recombinant PTE (His6-tagged BdPTE) from Brevundimonas diminuta. Enzymatic assays indicated that His6-tagged BdPTE was severely inactivated by SDS even at lower concentrations and, conversely, the other three surfactants (Triton X-100, Tween 20, and Tween 80) had a stimulatory effect on the activity, especially at a pre-incubating temperature of 40 °C. The enzyme exhibited a good compatibility with several commercial detergents, such as Dr. Formula® and Sugar Bubble®. The evolution results of pyrene fluorescence spectroscopy showed that the enzyme molecules participated in the formation of SDS micelles but did not alter the property of SDS micelles above the critical micelle concentration (CMC). Structural analyses revealed a significant change in the enzyme’s secondary structure in the presence of SDS. Through the use of the intentionally fenthion-contaminated Chinese cabbage leaves as the model experiment, enzyme–Joy® washer solution could remove the pesticide from the contaminated sample more efficiently than detergent alone. Overall, our data promote a better understanding of the links between the esterase activity of His6-tagged BdPTE and surfactants, and they offer valuable information about its potential applications in liquid detergent formulations.

Ionic liquids for regulating biocatalytic process: Achievements and perspectives. Biotechnol Adv 2021; 51:107702. [PMID: 33515671 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2021.107702] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2020] [Revised: 12/26/2020] [Accepted: 01/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Biocatalysis has found enormous applications in sorts of fields as an alternative to chemical catalysis. In the pursue of green and sustainable chemistry, ionic liquids (ILs) have been considered as promising reaction media for biocatalysis, owing to their unique characteristics, such as nonvolatility, inflammability and tunable properties as regards polarity and water miscibility behavior, compared to organic solvents. In recent years, great developments have been achieved in respects to biocatalysis in ILs, especially for preparing various chemicals. This review tends to give illustrative examples with a focus on representative chemicals production by biocatalyst in ILs and elucidate the possible mechanism in such systems. It also discusses how to regulate the catalytic efficiency from several aspects and finally provides an outlook on the opportunities to broaden biocatalysis in ILs.

Abstract
The protein-surfactant interaction studies have great importance in the range of the application like cosmetics, food, pharmaceutical, detergent industries, and many more. In this study, we have studies protein (rabbit serum albumin, RSA) and a cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB) interaction at different physiological conditions (viz., pH, ionic strength, surfactants concentrations, protein concentration, and many more). They form the protein surfactant complexes. The interchange of electrostatic and hydrophobic force monitors the change in complexes. The three different pHs (below (4.0), above (7.0) and at (4.7) the isoelectric point of RSA) of the medium indicate the three different charges on the protein while surfactant is positive in charge. Critical micelle concentration (CMC) plays a significant role in protein-surfactant interaction. CTAB unfolds the protein at its specific concentration range afterward again; it starts refolded. RSA interacted, with the addition of the CTAB is characterized by many spectroscopic methods like UV-visible, fluorescence, fluorescence time-resolved, circular dichroism, and topographical changes monitored by the AFM. In fluorescence spectra, the blue shift shows the unfolding of RSA. The molecular docking indicates the binding energy of 5.8 kcal mol-1. The changes below and above the CMC is significant.

Abstract
Increasing concerns about biosafety of nanoparticles (NPs) has raised the need for detailed knowledge of NP interactions with biological molecules especially proteins. Herein, the concentration-dependent effect of magnetic NPs (MNPs) on bovine serum albumin and hen egg white lysozyme was explored. The X-ray diffraction patterns, zeta potential, and dynamic light scattering measurements together with scanning electron microscopy images were employed to characterize MNPs synthesized through coprecipitation method. Then, we studied the behavior of two model proteins with different surface charges and structural properties on interaction with Fe3 O4 . A thorough investigation of protein-MNP interaction by the help of intrinsic fluorescence at different experimental conditions revealed that affinity of proteins for MNPs is strongly affected by the similarity of protein and MNP surface charges. MNPs exerted structure-making kosmotropic effect on both proteins under a concentration threshold; however, binding strength was found to determine the extent of stabilizing effect as well as magnitude of the concentration threshold. Circular dichroism spectra showed that proteins with less resistance to conformational deformations are more prone to secondary structure changes upon adsorption on MNPs. By screening thermal aggregation of proteins in the presence of Fe3 O4 , it was also found that like chemical stability, thermal stability is influenced to a higher extent in more strongly bound proteins. Overall, this report not only provides an integrated picture of protein-MNP interaction but also sheds light on the molecular mechanism underling this process.

Abstract
In the present study, we aimed to see what circumstances may cause protein damage at air/water interface and reveal the correlation between the surface properties of protein solution and the interface stability. The surface hydrophobicity and β-sheet of protein were determined by exogenous fluorescent probes, and the changes in the spatial structure of proteins were characterized by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. The surface tension was determined by the plate method, and such value was used to establish the correlation with the hydrophobicity and structure of the protein. Moreover, degree of aggregation in the presence or absence of Hofmeister salt in protein solution was investigated. There was a significant correlation between the surface tension and hydrophobicity of the protein solution (P < 0.05). The surface tension and structure of the protein also showed a significant correlation under the induction of pH (P < 0.05). Furthermore, when the protein was induced by the air/water interface, the surface tension, hydrophobicity, and structure of proteins were correlated, and protein aggregation was increased. When the additive induced a decrease in the surface tension of the protein solution, the protein aggregation was promoted. These findings provided valuable insights into the relationship between surface tension of the protein solution and interfacial stability and paved the way for future pre-formulation studies of therapeutic proteins.

Abstract
To check the role of micelle in the interaction studies of human serum albumin (HSA) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), many spectroscopic techniques, like UV-visible, fluorescence, circular dichroism, fluorescence lifetime measurement, and atomic force microscopy (AFM), are employed. The binding affinity of all compound groups depended on the hydrocarbon chain, indicating the predominant role of hydrophobic forces, electrostatic forces and supported by polar interactions on protein surfaces. The protein has a different effect on the polarity of a microenvironment in fluorescence spectra above and below the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the suractant. The far-UV-CD spectra show unfolding below the CMC and refolding above the CMC. The binding of the surfactant induces changes in the microenvironment at different pHs around the residues of the aromatic amino acid and the disulfide bond of protein. The AFM images show significant changes in the protein's structure. AFM images show dense aggregation below the CMC and above the CMC, some net-like structure formed in the HSA-CTAB complex. To test the experimental results, we used Auto dock Vina to conduct molecular docking. Above and below the CMC, structural changes can be seen.

Abstract
To evaluate the role of micelles for protein-surfactant interaction, we have studied the binding modes of serum albumin proteins (human (HSA) and rabbit (RSA)) with anionic-surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) by using UV-visible, fluorescence, circular dichroism, fluorescence lifetime, atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. The study performed with three different pHs (below (4.0), at (4.7), and above (7.0) isoelectric point). Hydrocarbon chain of the surfactant, dominant role of hydrophobic forces and electrostatic interactions helped in polar interaction on protein on binding surfaces. The change above and below the critical micelle concentration (CMC) in fluorescence spectra was due to polarity of the microenvironment. The CD spectra different binding aspects as below CMC and above CMC, explain about folding and unfolding in secondary structure. Surfactant's binding induces fluctuations in the microenvironment of aromatic amino acid's residues of both proteins at different pHs. AFM images clarify the structural changes in both proteins (HSA & RSA). AFM images also indicate some different interesting conformational and structural changes in both proteins below/above the CMC of the surfactant. The molecular docking studies indicate the binding energy -4.8 kcal mol-1 and -4.7 kcal mol-1 for HSA-SDS and RSA-SDS, respectively. Structural changes can be seen above and below the CMC.

Abstract
In the present study, we report the cooperative refolding/renaturation behaviour of guanidinium hydrochloride (GdnHCl) denatured bovine serum albumin (BSA) in the presence of cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and their catanionic mixture in the solution of 60 mM sodium phosphate buffer of physiological pH 7.4, using artificial chaperone-assisted two-step method. Here, we have employed biophysical techniques to characterize the refolding mechanism of denatured BSA after 200 times of dilution in the presence of cationic, anionic surfactants and their catanionic mixture, separately. We have found that minimum refolding of diluted BSA in the presence of 1:1 rational mixture of CTAB and SDS (CTAB/SDS = 50/50), it may be due to the micelles formation which is responsible for the unordered microstructure aggregate formation. Other mixtures (CTAB/SDS = 20/80 and 80/20) slightly played an effective role during refolding process in the presence of methyl-β-cyclodextrin. On other hand, CTAB and SDS are more effective and reflect a good renaturation tendency of denatured BSA solution separately and in existence of methyl-β-cyclodextrin as compare to their mixture compositions. But overall, CTAB has the better renaturation tendency as compare to SDS in the existence of methyl-β-cyclodextrin. These results ascribed the presence of charge head group and length of hydrophobic tail of CTAB surfactant that plays an important task during electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions at pH 7.4 at which BSA carries negative charge on their surface. These biophysical parameters suggest that, CTAB surfactant assisted artificial chaperone protocol may be utilized in the protein renaturation/refolding studies, which may address the associated problems of biotechnological industries for the development of efficient and inexpensive folding aides, which may also be used to produced genetically engineered cells related diseases, resulting from protein misfolding/aggregation.

Abstract
To explore the intramolecular interactions of protein, and its folding and unfolding mechanisms, we performed a simulation-based comparative study on albumin at different ionic strengths and pH. In this study, we performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulation for bovine serum albumin (BSA) at five different concentrations of NaCl (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mM), and five different pH values (2.0, 3.5, 4.3, 7.4, and 9.0). Herein, our aim was to unravel the effects of both pH and ionic strength on the conformations of the serum albumin structure. Our results indicate the effects of physicochemical factors in promoting conformational changes in the albumin structure, unlocking the hydrophobic sequences for hydrophobic drug binding. The BSA structure showed similarity to its native state in the pH range of 4.5 to 7.4 and at various ionic concentrations of NaCl. In the pH range of 3.5 to 4.5, the BSA structure showed denaturation in a controlled manner, which caused significant conformational changes in the molecular position of its hydrophobic amino acid residues. The resultant 3D structure gives insight into the amino acid trajectories. High denaturation and unstable behavior in the structural and conformational changes of the protein structure were observed at pH 2.0 and pH 9.0. We believe that these results and conditions will be helpful in the development of protein-based universal nanocarriers for the encapsulation of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs.

Abstract
To investigate the interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) at five different pHs (below (3.0 and 4.0), above (7.4 and 9.2) and at the isoelectric point (4.7) of BSA) by spectroscopic (viz., UV-vis, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD)), microscopic (viz., atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM)) and thermodynamic (viz., isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC)) methods. The fluorescence quenching spectra provided binding constants via Stern-Volmer plot, quenching constant (Ksv) and rate constant (Kq) were calculated. From the CD spectra, it is clear that the α-helix decreases by increasing the AgNP's concentration. However, at isoelectric point (pH = 4.7), BSA shows more helicity in the presence of AgNPs, which indicates that the structures of BSA become more ordered and stable, and aggregation occurs at strong acidic (3.0), and basic medium (9.2) Fluorescence spectra also indicate the aggregation of the protein at strong acidic (pH = 3.0) and basic medium (pH = 9.2). Furthermore, the morphological and topographical evolute ion upon the interaction was examined using TEM, FESEM, and AFM. The studies conclude the effect of the pH in the medium and behavior of AgNPs with BSA by using different spectroscopic and microscopic techniques.

Abstract
The binding interactions of the surfactants: anionic sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), non-ionic octyl glucoside (OG), and zwitterionic 3-[Hexadecyl(dimethyl)ammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (HPS), with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated by computer simulation. The results disclosed that the surfactants bound stably between hydrophobic subdomain IIA and IIIA where tryptophan-213 residue, an important intrinsic fluorophore in BSA is housed. The interactions of the surfactants with the BSA were electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. The head-groups of SDS, HPS and OG formed hydrogen bonds with the BSA, while that of CTAB was shielded from intermolecular hydrogen-bonding due to intervening methyl groups. Subsequently, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the protein-surfactant complexes revealed that hydrogen bonds formed by OG were stronger than those of SDS and HPS. However, the decomposed force-field energies showed that OG had the least interaction energy with the BSA. In addition to MD simulation, it was found by density functional theory (DFT) that the differences in the coulomb interaction energies can be attributed to charge distribution in the surfactants. Overall, free energies calculated by linear interaction energy (LIE) proved that the binding of each surfactant was dominated by differences between van der Waals interactions in bound and free states.

Abstract
Traditional polypeptide-loaded PLGA microspheres (PM) using emulsion electrospray techniques often exhibit unsteady release and limited bioactivity. To solve these two problems, an Exenatide (EXT)-loaded multilayer system composed ofPM and thermosensitive hydrogel was prepared by the emulsion electrospray technique in this study. Hydrogel mixture were loaded in PLGA microspheres as Depot-hydrogel to prepare Gel/PM. The PM/Gel and Gel/PM/Gel systems were obtained by dispersion of PM and Gel/PM into hydrogel mixture, respectively. EXT in Gel/PM/Gel showed a constantly in vitro release for 30 days, which was significantly enhanced in comparison of those in the PM/Gel and the Gel/PM. PM/Gel and Gel/PM/Gel showed diminished burst release and no platform period compared with PM and Gel/PM. And these could be because the introduced Matrix-hydrogel outside, as a buffer layer, inhibited burst releases and exhibited a sustained manner. The inner Depot-hydrogelstructure slowed the PLGA degradation rate and drug release rate. As well, more than 15-day blood glucose levels in KKAy mice were greatly maintained at 7.50-9.50 mmol/L after a single subcutaneous injection of Gel/PM/Gel (4.95 μg/kg). Spatial stability and further bioactivity of released EXT were well protected by EXT-hydrogel complexes, and undesirable uptake of EXT and microspheres via phagocytes were also decreased by PEG shell. Thus, the long-acting microspheres/hydrogel multilayer system prepared by emulsion electrospray technique showed promising potentials for loading hydrophilic polypeptides and proteins.

Abstract
The use of nanocarriers as drug delivery vehicles brings them into contact with blood plasma proteins. Polymeric nanocarriers require some sort of surfactant to ensure colloidal stability. Formation of the protein corona is therefore determined not only by the intrinsic properties of the nanocarrier itself but also by the accompanying surfactant. Although it is well-known that surfactants have an impact on protein structure, only few studies were conducted on the specific effect of surfactants on the composition of protein corona of nanocarriers. Therefore, we analyzed the composition of the protein corona on "stealth" nanoparticles with additional surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, CTMA-Cl) after plasma incubation. Additional CTMA-Cl led to an enrichment of apolipoprotein-A1 and vitronectin in the corona, while less clusterin could be found. Further, the structural stability of apolipoprotein-A1 and clusterin was monitored for a wide range of CTMA-Cl concentrations. Clusterin turned out to be more sensitive to CTMA-Cl, with denaturation occurring at lower concentrations.
