Abstract
Protein-surfactant interaction is a dynamic interplay of electrostatic and hydrophobic forces that ensues from the folding of a protein. We employ impedance spectroscopy (IS), a label-free method, to investigate the unfolding and refolding of human serum albumin (HSA), a globular plasma protein, in the presence of two surfactants: polysorbate-20 (Tween-20), a nonionic surfactant, and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), an anionic surfactant. The equivalent electrical analog circuit was predicted from impedance spectra of HSA in an aqueous solution at physiological pH and room temperature, focusing on varying the concentration of codissolved surfactants. A change in the dielectric constant (ε') and ionic conductivity (κ) is observed by comparing the surfactant-treated protein samples to the bare surfactant solutions to assess the conformational changes induced by surfactants in HSA. Far-UV circular dichroism analysis revealed a decrease in α-helices and an increase in β-sheets and random coils upon SDS addition, which were reversed by Tween-20. Dynamic light scattering supported the findings by measuring changes in the hydrodynamic diameter (dh) of HSA. Unfolding and refolding of HSA with surfactants were also observed through photoluminescence spectroscopy by examining the microenvironment surrounding the single tryptophan (W) within the protein, and the thermodynamic parameters were obtained using the modified Stern-Volmer equation. Our research explores the intriguing domain of protein-surfactant interactions, offering insights with promising applications across diverse biological processes and IS as a suitable alternative technique for investigating protein conformational changes by studying the electrical response of the samples.

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
Proteins are highly labile molecules, thus requiring the presence of appropriate solvents and excipients in their liquid milieu to keep their stability and biological activity. In this field, ionic liquids (ILs) have gained momentum in the past years, with a relevant number of works reporting their successful use to dissolve, stabilize, extract, and purify proteins. Different approaches in protein-IL systems have been reported, namely, proteins dissolved in (i) neat ILs, (ii) ILs as co-solvents, (iii) ILs as adjuvants, (iv) ILs as surfactants, (v) ILs as phase-forming components of aqueous biphasic systems, and (vi) IL-polymer-protein/peptide conjugates. Herein, we critically analyze the works published to date and provide a comprehensive understanding of the IL-protein interactions affecting the stability, conformational alteration, unfolding, misfolding, and refolding of proteins while providing directions for future studies in view of imminent applications. Overall, it has been found that the stability or purification of proteins by ILs is bispecific and depends on the structure of both the IL and the protein. The most promising IL-protein systems are identified, which is valuable when foreseeing market applications of ILs, e.g., in "protein packaging" and "detergent applications". Future directions and other possibilities of IL-protein systems in light-harvesting and biotechnology/biomedical applications are discussed.

Abstract
Various perfusion bioreactor systems have been designed to improve cell culture with three-dimensional porous scaffolds, and there is some evidence that fluid force improves the osteogenic commitment of the progenitors. However, because of the unique design concept and operational configuration of each study, the experimental setups of perfusion bioreactor systems are not always compatible with other systems. To reconcile results from different systems, the thorough optimization and validation of experimental configuration are required in each system. In this study, optimal experimental conditions for a perfusion bioreactor were explored in three steps. First, an in silico modeling was performed using a scaffold geometry obtained by microCT and an expedient geometry parameterized with porosity and permeability to assess the accuracy of calculated fluid shear stress and computational time. Then, environmental factors for cell culture were optimized, including the volume of the medium, bubble suppression, and medium evaporation. Further, by combining the findings, it was possible to determine the optimal flow rate at which cell growth was supported while osteogenic differentiation was triggered. Here, we demonstrated that fluid shear stress up to 15 mPa was sufficient to induce osteogenesis, but cell growth was severely impacted by the volume of perfused medium, the presence of air bubbles, and medium evaporation, all of which are common concerns in perfusion bioreactor systems. This study emphasizes the necessity of optimization of experimental variables, which may often be underreported or overlooked, and indicates steps which can be taken to address issues common to perfusion bioreactors for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The spontaneous adsorption of graphene oxide (GO) sheets at the air-water interface is explored using X-ray reflectivity (XRR) measurements. As a pure aqueous dispersion, GO sheets do not spontaneously adsorb at the air-water interface due to their high negative surface potential (-60 mV) and hydrophilic functionality. However, when incorporated with surfactant molecules at optimal ratios and loadings, GO sheets can spontaneously be driven to the surface. It is hypothesised that surfactant molecules experience favourable attractive interactions with the surfaces of GO sheets, resulting in co-assembly that serves to render the sheets surface active. The GO/surfactant composites then collectively adsorb at the air-water interface, with XRR analysis suggesting an interfacial structure comprising surfactant tailgroups in air and GO/surfactant headgroups in water for a combined thickness of 30-40 Å, depending on the surfactant used. Addition of too much surfactant appears to inhibit GO surface adsorption by saturating the interface, and low loadings of GO/surfactant composites (even at optimal ratios) do not show significant adsorption indicating a partitioning effect. Lastly, surfactant chemistry is also a key factor dictating adsorption capacity of GO. The zwitterionic surfactant oleyl amidopropyl betaine causes marked increases in GO surface activity even at very low concentrations (≤0.2 mM), whereas non-ionic surfactants such as Triton X-100 and hexaethyleneglycol monododecyl ether require higher concentrations (ca. 1 mM) in order to impart spontaneous adsorption of the sheets. Anionic surfactants do not enhance GO surface activity presumably due to like-charge repulsions that prevent co-assembly. This work provides useful insight into the synergy between GO sheets and molecular amphiphiles in aqueous systems for enhancing the surface activity of GO, and can be used to inform system formulation for developing water-friendly, surface active composites based around atomically thin materials.

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
Macromolecules are essential cellular components in biological systems responsible for performing a large number of functions that are necessary for growth and perseverance of living organisms. Proteins, lipids and carbohydrates are three major classes of biological macromolecules. To predict the structure, function, and behaviour of any cluster of macromolecules, it is necessary to understand the interaction between them and other components through basic principles of chemistry and physics. An important number of macromolecules are present in mixtures with surfactants, where a combination of hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions is responsible for the specific properties of any solution. It has been demonstrated that surfactants can help the formation of helices in some proteins thereby promoting protein structure formation. On the other hand, there is extensive research towards the use of surfactants to solubilize drugs and pharmaceuticals; therefore, it is evident that the interaction between surfactants with macromolecules is important for many applications which includes environmental processes and the pharmaceutical industry. In this review, we describe the properties of different types of surfactants that are relevant for their physicochemical interactions with biological macromolecules, from macromolecules–surfactant complexes to hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions.

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
Rhamnolipids have extensive potential applications and are the most promising biosurfactants for commercialization. The efficient and accurate identification and analysis of these are important to their production, application and commercialization. Accordingly, significant efforts have been made to identify and analyse rhamnolipids during screening of producing strains, fermentation and application processes. Cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-methylene blue (CTAB-MB) test combines a series of indirect assays to efficiently assist in the primary screening of rhamnolipids-producing strains, while the secretion of rhamnolipids by these strains can be identified through TLC, FTIR, NMR, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and HPLC-MS analysis. Rhamnolipids can be quantified by colorimetric methods requiring the use of concentrated acid, and this approach has the advantages of reliability, simplicity, low-cost and excellent reproducibility with very low technological requirements. HPLC-MS can also be employed as required as a more accurate quantification method. In addition, HPLC-ELSD has been established as the internationally acceptable measure of rhamnolipids for commercial purposes. The preparation of well-accepted rhamnolipids standards and modifications of analysis operations are essential to further enhance the accuracy and improve the simplicity of rhamnolipid analysis.Key points• Current status of R&D works on determination of rhamnolipids is listed• Advantages and disadvantages of various types analysis are summarized• Limitations of current rhamnolipid quantification are discussed Graphical abstract.

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
Binding effect and interaction of N,N'-dialkyl cystine based gemini surfactant (GS); 2(C12Cys) with human serum albumin (HSA) were systematically investigated by the techniques such as surface tension measurement, UV-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and molecular docking studies. The surface tension measurement exhibited that HSA shifted the critical micelle concentration of the 2(C12Cys) GS to the higher side that confirms the complex formation among 2(C12Cys) GS and HSA which was also verified by UV-visible, fluorescence, and CD spectroscopy. Increase in the concentration of 2(C12Cys) GS increases the absorption of the HSA protein but has a reverse effect on the fluorescence intensity. The analysis of UV-visible study with the help of a static quenching method showed that the value acquired for the bimolecular quenching constant (k q) quenches the intrinsic fluorescence of the HSA protein. Synchronous fluorescence spectrometry declared that the induced-binding conformational changes in HSA and CD results explained the variations in the secondary arrangement of the protein in presence of 2(C12Cys) GS. The present study revealed that the interaction between 2(C12Cys) GS and HSA is important for the preparation and properties of medicines. Molecular docking study provides insight into the specific binding site of 2(C12Cys) GS into the sites of HSA.

Abstract
Biosurfactant compounds have been studied in many applications, including biomedical, food, cosmetic, agriculture, and bioremediation areas, mainly due to their low toxicity, high biodegradability, and multifunctionality. Among biosurfactants, the lipoplexes of lipoaminoacids play a key role in medical and pharmaceutical fields. Lipoaminoacids (LAAs) are amino acid-based surfactants that are obtained from the condensation reaction of natural origin amino acids with fatty acids or fatty acid derivatives. LAA can be produced by biocatalysis as an alternative to chemical synthesis and thus become very attractive from both the biomedical and the environmental perspectives. Gemini LAAs, which are made of two hydrophobic chains and two amino acid head groups per molecule and linked by a spacer at the level of the amino acid residues, are promising candidates as both drug and gene delivery and protein disassembly agents. Gemini LAA usually show lower critical micelle concentration, interact more efficiently with proteins, and are better solubilising agents for hydrophobic drugs when compared to their monomeric counterparts due to their dimeric structure. A clinically relevant human gene therapy vector must overcome or avoid detect and silence foreign or misplaced DNA whilst delivering sustained levels of therapeutic gene product. Many non-viral DNA vectors trigger these defence mechanisms, being subsequently destroyed or rendered silent. The development of safe and persistently expressing DNA vectors is a crucial prerequisite for a successful clinical application, and it one of the main strategic tasks of non-viral gene therapy research.

Abstract
The reported ability of cysteine and cystine to bind typical arsenic oxy-ions in water is used as a basis for a study of the potential for using a surfactant with a cysteine head-group for selective arsenic binding and removal in an ion flotation process. Several different head-group attachment methods are studied with cysteine and cystine and with single- and double-chain surfactants. A comparison of the properties of these surfactants with some other surface-active compounds, with groups like those on cysteine, suggest that few compounds have suitable characteristics for the efficient removal of low levels of arsenic from drinking water. An amino-acid-based single-chain surfactant is synthesized by reacting cysteine with octanoyl chloride to obtain octanoyl cysteine, which is then used in a study of selective ion flotation for the removal of low levels of arsenic from drinking water. This compound has high water solubility and causes extensive foaming in a typical flotation chamber and removed 99.4-99.9% of the 5 mg L-1 arsenic present in the contaminated water in a simple, single-stage ion flotation process, using either air or nitrogen gas. These laboratory results indicate that these surfactants can be useful in the large-scale treatment of low-level arsenic-contaminated water.

Abstract
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is one of the most copious and significant blood proteins with dynamic structure. The understanding of the structural functionality of BSA and its interaction with metal ions is desired for various biological functions. Herein, three different metallosurfactants containing different transition metals and the same hydrophobic tail were engaged to investigate the structural transition of BSA. The metallosurfactants have been prepared by a combination of metal ions (M = Fe, Co and Ni) with cetylpyridinium chloride surfactant via the ligand insertion method and were characterized by elemental, FTIR, 1H-NMR, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The obtained results reveal that insertion of a metal ion perturbs the aggregation behavior of the surfactant. Incorporation of a metal-ion has been found to decrease the CMC value of the surfactant, which has been supported by conductivity, surface tension and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). These metallosurfactants were employed to study the interaction and binding mechanism of BSA under physiological conditions. SDS-PAGE analysis points out a weak effect of metallosurfactants on the primary structure of BSA, whereas CD spectra implied a significant change in secondary structure with the decreased α-helical content of BSA. Fluorescence spectroscopy indicates the effect of metallosurfactants on the tertiary structure of BSA, whereas absorption spectra demonstrated static quenching with a blue shift in the presence of metallosurfactants. Moreover, unfolding of BSA in the presence of metallosurfactants has also been confirmed by SAXS studies. The overall results indicate that insertion of the metal ion into the framework of the surfactant structure enhances its protein binding/folding/unfolding abilities, which would be helpful in clinical as well as in life sciences.

Abstract
Through this extensive structure-property study we show that critical micelle concentration correlates with self-associative hydrogen bond complex formation constant, when combined with outputs from low level, widely accessible, computational models. Herein, we bring together a series of 39 structurally related molecules related by stepwise variation of a hydrogen bond donor-acceptor amphiphilic salt. The self-associative and corresponding global properties for this family of compounds have been studied in the gas, solid and solution states. Within the solution state, we have shown the type of self-associated structure present to be solvent dependent. In DMSO, this class of compound show a preference for hydrogen bonded dimer formation, however moving into aqueous solutions the same compounds are found to form larger self-associated aggregates. This observation has allowed us the unique opportunity to investigate and begin to predict self-association events at both the molecular and extended aggregate level.

Abstract
The role of hydrogen bonding within aggregate formation and CMC: can these properties be predicted by low level computational modelling?
Herein, we present a series of five tetrabutylammonium (TBA) sulfonate–urea amphiphilic salts. In solution these amphiphilic salts have been shown to form a variety of self-associated species. The proportion and type of which are both solvent and concentration dependent. In DMSO-d6 a variety of NMR experiments provide evidence towards the formation of mainly dimeric over larger aggregate species. Increasing the percentage of water was shown to increase the concentration of the larger aggregates over dimers in solution. A correlation was established between critical micelle concentration (CMC) values obtained in a 1 : 19 EtOH : H2O mixture, dimeric self-association constants obtained in a DMSO-d6 – 0.5% H2O and the results of simple semi-empirical PM6 computational modelling methods. This approach begins to quantify the role of hydrogen bonding in amphiphile self-association and the effects it imparts on surfactant properties. This consequently provides preliminary evidence that these properties maybe predicted by simple low level computational modelling techniques.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of a novel amphiphilic salt containing a number of hydrogen bond donating (HBD) and accepting (HBA) functionalities. This amphiphile has been shown to self-associate via hydrogen bond formation in a DMSO solution, confirmed through a combination of NMR, UV-Vis and dynamic light scattering and supported by X-ray diffraction studies. The combination of different HBD and HBA functionalities within the amphiphile structure gives rise to a variety of competitive, self-associative hydrogen bonding modes that result in the formation of 'frustrated' hydrogen bonded nanostructures. These nanostructures can be altered through the addition of competitive HBD arrays and/or HBA anionic guests. The addition of these competitive species modifies the type of self-associative hydrogen bonding modes present between the amphiphilic molecules, triggering the in situ formation of novel hydrogen bonded nanostructures.

Interaction of two imidazolium gemini surfactants with two model proteins BSA and HEWL. Colloid Polym Sci 2015; 293:2855-2866.

Abstract
Gemini surfactants and their interactions with proteins have gained considerable scientific interest, especially when amyloidogenic proteins are taken into account. In this work, the influence of two selected dicationic (gemini) surfactants (3,3′-[1,8-(2,7-dioxaoctane)]bis(1-dodecylimidazolium) chloride and 3,3′-[1,12-(2,11-dioxadodecane)]bis(1-dodecylimidazolium) chloride) on two model proteins, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL), have been investigated. A pronounced and sophisticated influence on BSA structure has been revealed, including a considerable change of protein radius of gyration as well as substantial alteration of its secondary structure. Radius of gyration has been found to rise significantly with addition of surfactants and to fall down for high surfactants concentration. Similarly, a remarkable fall of secondary structure (α-helix content) has been observed, followed by its partial retrieval for high surfactants concentration. A strong aggregation of BSA has been observed for a confined range of surfactants concentrations as well. In case of HEWL-gemini system, on the other hand, the protein-surfactant interaction was found to be weak. Molecular mechanisms explaining such behaviour of protein-surfactant systems have been proposed. The differences of properties of both studied surfactants have also been discussed.
