Abstract
It is well known that protein corona affects the "biological identity" of nanoparticles (NPs), which has been seen as both a challenge and an opportunity. Approaches have moved from avoiding protein adsorption to trying to direct it, taking advantage of the formation of a protein corona to favorably modify the pharmacokinetic parameters of NPs. Although promising, the results obtained with engineered NPs still need to be completely understood. While much effort has been put into understanding how the surface of nanomaterials affects protein absorption, less is known about how proteins can affect corona formation due to their specific physicochemical properties. This review addresses this knowledge gap, examining key protein factors influencing corona formation, highlighting current challenges in studying protein-protein interactions, and discussing future perspectives in the field.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) in contact with biological fluids form a biomolecular corona through interactions with proteins, lipids, and sugars, acquiring new physicochemical properties. This work explores the interaction between selected proteins (hemoglobin and fetuin-A) that may alter NP circulation time and NPs of different surface charges (neutral, positive, and negative). The interaction with key proteins albumin and transferrin, the two of the most abundant proteins in plasma was also studied. Binding affinity was investigated using quartz crystal microbalance and fluorescence quenching, while circular dichroism assessed potential conformational changes. The data obtained from in vitro experiments were compared to in vivo protein corona data. The results indicate that electrostatic interactions primarily drive protein-NP interactions, and higher binding affinity does not necessarily translate into more significant structural changes. In vitro and single protein-NP studies provide valuable insights that can be correlated with in vivo observations, opening exciting possibilities for future protein corona studies.

Abstract
Regenerated silk fibroin (RSF), made from discarded silk cocoons, can be processed into regenerated silk fibers by a simple, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly wet-spinning process. However, the breaking strength and toughness of most RSF fibers are lower than those of natural silk. In this study, Ag nanoparticles (NPs) of different sizes were introduced into RSF to form RSF/AgNPs hybrid fibers by wet spinning. The effects of AgNPs of different sizes on the mechanical properties and structure of the hybrid fibers were investigated. The results demonstrated that the mechanical properties of hybrid fibers were significantly improved, especially the breaking strain, after the addition of four different sizes of AgNPs. With the reduction in AgNPs size (2-60 nm), the breaking strength and breaking strain of hybrid fibers tended to increase. The results showed that the hybrid fibers containing 2 nm AgNPs were remarkable, with excellent mechanical properties and toughness, and the breaking strain reached 138.27%, which was far greater than blank RSF fibers (15.02%) and even natural silk (about 21%). The S-FTIR and WAXD showed that, compared with the larger AgNPs, the smaller AgNPs contributed more to the formation of silk fibroin β-sheet and crystallinity, and reduced the β-crystallite size. This study is helpful to understand the relationship between the size of nanoparticles and the mechanical properties of hybrid fibers.

Abstract
Understanding and establishing a link between the physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticles (NPs) and their biological interactions poses to be a great challenge in the field of nanotherapeutics. Recent analytical advancements concerning bio-nanointerfaces have accelerated the quest to comprehend the fate of nanocarrier systems in vivo. Scientists have discovered that protein corona, an adsorbed layer of biomolecules on the surface of NPs takes a leading part in interacting with cells and in the cellular uptake process, thereby determining the in vivo behaviour of NPs. Another useful method to assess the in vivo fate of NPs is by performing dissolution testing. This forms the basis for in vitro in vivo correlation (IVIVC), relating in vitro dissolution of NPs and their in vivo properties. Scientists are continuously directing their efforts towards establishing IVIVC for different nanocarrier systems while concurrently gaining insights into protein corona. This review primarily summarizes the importance of protein corona and its interaction with nanoparticles. It also gives an insight into the factors affecting the interaction and various in vitro dissolution media used for varied nanocarrier systems. The article concludes with a discussion of the limitations of IVIVC modelling and its position from a regulatory perspective.

Abstract
Elucidating the biological behavior of engineered nanoparticles, for example, the protein corona, is important for the development of safe and efficient nanomedicine, but our current understanding is still limited due to its highly dynamic nature and lack of adequate analytical tools. In the present work, we demonstrate the establishment of a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based platform for monitoring the dynamic evolution behavior of the protein corona in complex biological media. With human serum albumin and lysozyme as the model serum proteins, the protein exchange process of the preformed corona on the surface of chiral quantum dots (QDs) upon feeding either individual protein or human serum was monitored in situ by FRET. Important parameters characterizing the evolution process of protein corona could be obtained upon quantitative analysis of FRET data. Further combining real-time FRET monitoring with gel electrophoresis experiments revealed that the nature of the protein initially adsorbed on the surface of QDs significantly affects the subsequent dynamic exchange behavior of the protein corona. Furthermore, our results also revealed that only a limited proportion of proteins are involved in the protein exchange, and the exchange process exhibits a significant dependence on the surface chirality of QDs. This work demonstrates the feasibility of FRET as a powerful tool to exploit the dynamic evolution process of the protein corona, which can provide theoretical guidance for further design of advanced nanomaterials for biomedical applications.

Abstract
A new theoretical framework that enables the use of differential dynamic microscopy (DDM) in fluorescence imaging mode to quantify in situ protein adsorption onto nanoparticles (NP) while simultaneously monitoring for NP aggregation is proposed. This methodology is used to elucidate the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the protein corona (PC) in vitro and in vivo. The results show that protein adsorption triggers particle aggregation over a wide concentration range and that the formed aggregate structures can be quantified using the proposed methodology. Protein affinity for polystyrene (PS) NPs is observed to be dependent on particle concentration. For complex protein mixtures, this methodology identifies that the PC composition changes with the dilution of serum proteins, demonstrating a Vroman effect never quantitatively assessed in situ on NPs. Finally, DDM allows monitoring of the evolution of the PC in vivo. This results show that the PC composition evolves significantly over time in zebrafish larvae, confirming the inherently dynamic nature of the PC. The performance of the developed methodology allows to obtain quantitative insights into nano-bio interactions in a vast array of physiologically relevant conditions that will serve to further improve the design of nanomedicine.

Abstract
The characterization of the protein corona has become an essential part of understanding the biological properties of nanomaterials. This is also important in the case of mesoporous silica particles intended for use as drug delivery excipients. A combination of scattering, imaging and protein characterization techniques is used here to assess the effect of particle shape and growth of the reversible (soft) and strongly bound (hard) corona of three types mesoporous silica particles with different aspect ratios. Notable differences in the protein composition, surface coverage and particle agglomeration of the protein corona-particle complex point to specific protein adsorption profiles highly dependent on exposed facets and aspect ratio. Spherical particles form relatively homogeneous soft and hard protein coronas (approx.10 nm thick) with higher albumin content. In contrast to rod-shaped and faceted particles, which possess soft coronas weakly bound to the external surface and influenced to a greater extent by the particle morphology. These differences are likely important contributors to observed changes in biological properties, such as cell viability and immunological behaviour, with mesoporous silica particle shape.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is recognized as a promising agent for diverse biomedical applications; however, its safety and efficiency in clinical practice remains to be enhanced. A priority issue is the protein corona (PC), which imparts unique biological identities to prototype and determines the actual biological functions in biological fluids. Decades of work has already illuminated abundant considerations that influence the composition of the protein corona. Thereinto, the physical assets of nanomedicines (e.g., size and shape, surface properties, nanomaterials) and the biological environment collectively play fundamental roles in shaping the PC, including the types and quantities of plasma proteins. The properties of nanomedicines are dependent on certain factors. This review aims to explore the applications of nanomedicines by regulating their interplay with PC.

Abstract
In this work, we used Mössbauer spectroscopy as a new approach for experimental quantification of the self-diffusion coefficient (DMössbauer) and hydrodynamic (HD) size of iron-containing nanoparticles (NPs) in complex crowded solutions, mimicking cell cytoplasm. As a probe, we used 9 nm cobalt ferrite NPs (CFNs) dispersed in solutions of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with a volume fraction (φBSA) of 0-0.2. Our results show that the broadening of Mössbauer spectra is highly sensitive to the diffusion of CFNs, while when φBSA = 0.2, the CFN-normalized diffusivity is reduced by 86% compared to that of a protein-free solution. CFN colloids were also studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Comparison of the experimental data shows that DLS significantly underestimates the diffusion coefficient of CFNs and, consequently, overestimates the HD size of CFNs at φBSA > 0, which cannot be attributed to the formation of the BSA monolayer on the surface of CFNs.

Abstract
The effect of polymer adsorption on the dispersion stability of particles is an important subject applicable to various manufacturing processes. In this study, small-angle scattering was used to examine the relationship between interparticle potential and polymer adsorption in dispersions of nanoparticles with an 81 Å radius containing two types of polymers. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements in a silica/polyacrylamide (PAAm) system showed an increase in interparticle attractive interactions as PAAm concentration was increased. In a silica/poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) system, the correlation between PEO concentration and interparticle potential strength became negligible at higher concentrations. Hence, the contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering (CV-SANS) method was employed to evaluate the interparticle potential and polymer adsorption simultaneously. CV-SANS revealed that PAAm was adsorbed to silica particles with a polymer shell layer thickness of 186 Å. The attractive potential observed in the absorbed layer region can be attributed to bridging PAAm molecules between the silica particles. By contrast, CV-SANS of the silica/PEO system indicated a low-polymer-concentration layer with a thickness of 34 Å around silica particles, indicating weak adsorption of PEO molecules. Negligible interaction between PEO and silica particles was assumed to be the origin of the depletion stabilization from excess polymer addition. Thus, quantitative analyses conducted using SAXS and CV-SANS measurements for the first time clearly demonstrated a difference in the adsorption structure of the polymer, which induces changes in the interaction potential between nanoparticles.

Abstract
Unveiling specific interactions between nanoparticles (NPs) and proteins could benefit a better control of NPs' performance in recognition-based detection, imaging and drug delivery. Herein, we investigated the specific recognition between an aptamer modified gold nanoparticle (Apt-AuNP) and its target protein arginine kinase (AK) through a coffee-ring effect (CRE)-based approach. The evaporated droplets of the Apt-AuNP with AK featured a ring-disk-ring transition with elevated AK concentration and a disk pattern was found when the Apt was saturated by AK. Moreover, the AK concentration versus ring thickness curve below the saturation point was proved to fit in an exponential function, indicating the strong association between the Apt-AuNP and AK. In contrast, the ring thickness above the saturation point fitted in a Gompertz growth model that was similar with the Apt-AuNPs incubated with the nonspecific protein (bovine serum albumin, BSA), suggesting that AK was nonspecifically adsorbed onto the AuNPs. The impact of the specific NP-protein interaction on the translation of CRE into macroscopic patterns was further utilized to identify target food allergen AK by the Apt-AuNPs over nontarget allergens (tropomyosin, ovalbumin and β-lactoglobulin). This work provided new insight into the general NP-protein association process and demonstrated the feasibility of employing CRE as an effective tool to profile the specific interactions between NPs and proteins.

Abstract
The interaction of nanoparticles with surfactants is extensively used in a wide range of applications from enhancing colloidal stability to phase separation processes as well as in the synthesis of noble functional materials. The interaction is highly specific depending on the charged nature of the surfactant. In the case of nonionic surfactants, the micelles adsorb on the surface of nanoparticles. The adsorption of nonionic surfactant C12E10 as a function of surfactant concentration for two different sizes of anionic silica nanoparticles (16 and 27 nm) has been examined using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). SANS measurements have been carried out under different contrast-matched conditions, where nanoparticles, as well as surfactant micelles, have been contrast-matched to the solvent. The adsorption of micelles is determined from the contrast-matched condition of silica nanoparticles with the solvent. SANS data under surfactant contrast-matched condition suggest that there is no modification in the structure and/or interaction of the silica nanoparticles in presence of nonionic micelles. The adsorption of micelles on nanoparticles is found to follow an exponential behavior with respect to the surfactant concentration. These results are consistent with the variation of hydrodynamic size of nanoparticle-surfactant system in DLS. The study on different-sized nanoparticles shows that the lower curvature enhances the packing fraction whereas the loss of surface-to-volume ratio suppresses the fraction of adsorbed micelles with the increase in the nanoparticle size. The adsorption coefficient has higher value for the larger size of the nanoparticles. In the mixed system of two sizes of nanoparticles, no preferential selectivity of micelle adsorption is observed.

Abstract
Negatively charged Ludox silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) form a complex with atelocollagen (AC) in acidic buffers (pH = 4 or 3). AC is a low-immunogenic derivative of collagen obtained by the removal of N- and C-terminal telopeptide components. Mixed solutions of negatively charged SiNPs and AC were turbid, while positively charged SiNPs (Ludox CL) did not form a complex with AC in pH 4 buffer, indicating that electrostatic attraction is the dominant force to form the complex. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and circular dichroism (CD) measurements were made for AC and Ludox LS (or CL) solutions in acetate buffer (pH 4.0) and citrate buffer (pH 3.0). The CD data showed that the stability of the triple helical structure of AC in the buffers is not affected by the complexation. The resulting complex consisting of triple helical AC and SiNPs did not influence the SAXS profile except for the lowest q region investigated. On the contrary, different scattering profiles were observed for the single chain AC and SiNP mixture indicating densely packed SiNPs in the complex. This scattering behavior was fairly explained in terms of the sticky hard sphere model (SHSM). This AC conformation-dependent complexation may be because of the hydrogen bonding interaction between the single chain AC and SiNPs. The temperature-induced change of the complex formation can be applied for thermoresponsive hybrid materials.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica particles (MSPs) enhance the release kinetics of poorly soluble compound probucol (PB) under the influence of a pore-blocking protein corona, prepared with lysozyme protein adsorption. In vivo oral administration experiments show a prolongation in the time to reach maximum systemic concentration and half-life of PB released from the lysozyme-MSP complex in comparison to the MSP alone. Specific hard protein corona complexes can act as functional diffusion barriers for the controlled release of drugs from MSP based formulations.

Abstract
In the field of nanomedicine, nanostructured nanoparticles (NPs) made of self-assembling prodrugs emerged in the recent years with promising properties. In particular, squalene-based drug nanoparticles have already shown their efficiency through in vivo experiments. However, a complete pattern of their stability and interactions in the blood stream is still lacking. In this work we assess the behavior of squalene-adenosine (SQAd) nanoparticles - whose neuroprotective effect has already been demonstrated in murine models - in the presence of fetal bovine serum (FBS) and of bovine serum albumin (BSA), the main protein of blood plasma. Extensive physicochemical characterizations were performed using Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS), cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-TEM), circular dichroism (CD), steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy (SSFS) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) as well as in silico by means of ensemble docking simulations with human serum albumin (HSA). Significant changes in the colloidal stability of the nanoparticles in the presence of serum albumin were observed. SANS, CD and SSFS analyses demonstrated an interaction between SQAd and BSA, with a partial disassembly of the nanoparticles in the presence of BSA and the formation of a complex between SQAd and BSA. The interaction free energy of SQAd nanoparticles with BSA derived from ITC experiments, is about -8 kcal mol-1 which is further supported in silico by ensemble docking simulations. Overall, our results show that serum albumin partially disassembles SQAd nanoparticles by extracting individual SQAd monomers from them. As a consequence, the SQAd nanoparticles would act as a circulating reservoir in the blood stream. The approach developed in this study could be extended to other soft organic nanoparticles.

Abstract
Hexagonal nanocrystalline powders of the non-doped Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 as well as activated with Ag+ and Eu3+ ions were synthesized by using different wet chemistry methods. Moreover, the obtained hydroxyapatite was loaded with Ag0, as well as nitroimidazole antimicrobials: metronidazole and tinidazole. The structural properties of the products were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy as well as infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy. The photoluminescence properties of the Eu3+ and Ag+ co-doped Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 were characterized via the PL emission, excitation spectra and the luminescence decay curve. The antimicrobial activity of the obtained materials against Prevotella bivia and Parabacteroides distasonis was studied. The cytotoxicity assessment was carried out on the human osteosarcoma cell line (U2OS) as well as human red blood cells (RBC). The choice of the in vitro model was based on the fact that U2OS is a cancer cell line derived from bone tissue which is rich in apatites that play a pivotal role in the extracellular matrix formation. RBCs are the most abundant blood cells and they are used as a cell model in the study of biocompatibility of new prepared biocompounds with potential medical applications. The obtained multifunctional materials do not exhibit the haemolytic activity, therefore, they could be used as a promising antimicrobial agent and for anaerobic bacteria.

Abstract
A novel Raman scattering enhancement was discovered using colloid nanoparticles conjugated with an amine-based copolymer. The interaction potential surface between Raman scattering enhancing nanoparticles was clarified by combining a small-angle scattering method and a model-potential-free liquid-state theory as an in situ observation in the solution state. The potential surface indicates that the most stable position is located around 0.9 nm from the particle surface, suggesting the existence of a nanogap structure between the nanocomposites. The change in Raman scattering enhancement was also acquired during the dispersion process of the aggregated nanocomposites through a glutathione-triggered nanosensing reaction.

Abstract
We report a theoretical and experimental study of the aggregation kinetics of oppositely charged nanoparticles. Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations are performed for symmetric, charge-asymmetric and size-asymmetric systems of oppositely charged nanoparticles. Simulation results show that both the weight and number average aggregate size kinetics exhibit power law scaling with different exponents for small and intermediate time of evolution. The qualitative behavior of the symmetric and the size asymmetric system are the same, but the charge asymmetric system shows anomalous behavior for intermediate to high particle concentrations. We also observe a strong dependence of power law exponents on the particle concentration. Radius of gyration of the cluster that indicates how nanoparticles inside a cluster are distributed around the center of mass of the cluster shows a non-monotonic time evolution with pronounced peak at higher particle concentration. The dependence of particle concentration on aggregation kinetics as observed by predictive numerical simulation is further verified experimentally by monitoring the time evolution of aggregate size of nanoparticles assemblies of Poly (methacrylic acid) (PMMA) nanoparticles functionalized with oppositely charged ligands. These size and charge tunable asymmetric polymeric nanoparticles were synthesized by modified miniemulsion technique. The integrated approach for studying nanoparticles aggregation as described here renders new insights into super structure formation and morphology optimization which can be potentially useful in the design of new materials, such as organic photovoltaics.

Abstract
The integration of nanoparticles with proteins is of high scientific interest due to the amazing potential displayed by their complexes, combining the nanoscale properties of nanoparticles with the specific architectures and functions of the protein molecules. The nanoparticle-protein complexes, in particular, are useful in the emerging field of nanobiotechnology (nanomedicine, drug delivery, and biosensors) as the nanoparticles having sizes comparable to that of living cells can access and operate within the cell. The understanding of nanoparticle interaction with different protein molecules is a prerequisite for such applications. The interaction of the two components has been shown to result in conformational changes in proteins and to affect the surface properties and colloidal stability of the nanoparticles. In this feature article, our recent studies exploring the driving interactions in nanoparticle-protein systems and resultant structures are presented. The anionic colloidal silica nanoparticles and two globular charged proteins [lysozyme and bovine serum albumin (BSA)] have been investigated as model systems. The adsorption behavior of the two proteins on nanoparticles is found to be completely different, but they both give rise to similar phase transformation from one phase to two phase in respective nanoparticle-protein systems. The presence of protein induces the short-range and long-range attraction between the nanoparticles with lysozyme and BSA, respectively. The observed phase behavior and its dependence on various physiochemical parameters (e.g., nanoparticle size, ionic strength, and solution pH) have been explained in terms of underlying interactions.

Abstract
In vitro prediction of inflammatory lung effects of well-dispersed nanomaterials is challenging. Here, the in vitro effects of four colloidal amorphous SiO2 nanomaterials that differed only by their primary particle size (9, 15, 30, and 55 nm) were analyzed using the rat NR8383 alveolar macrophage (AM) assay. Data were compared to effects of single doses of 15 nm and 55 nm SiO2 intratracheally instilled in rat lungs. In vitro, all four elicited the release of concentration-dependent lactate dehydrogenase, β-glucuronidase, and tumor necrosis factor alpha, and the two smaller materials also released H2O2. All effects were size-dependent. Since the colloidal SiO2 remained well-dispersed in serum-free in vitro conditions, effective particle concentrations reaching the cells were estimated using different models. Evaluating the effective concentration–based in vitro effects using the Decision-making framework for the grouping and testing of nanomaterials, all four nanomaterials were assigned as “active.” This assignment and the size dependency of effects were consistent with the outcomes of intratracheal instillation studies and available short-term rat inhalation data for 15 nm SiO2. The study confirms the applicability of the NR8383 AM assay to assessing colloidal SiO2 but underlines the need to estimate and consider the effective concentration of such well-dispersed test materials.

Abstract
The interactions following a reentrant phase transition of charged silica nanoparticles from one phase to two phases and back to one phase by varying the concentration of multivalent counterions have been examined. The observations are far beyond the framework of Debye-Hückel or even nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equations and demonstrate the universal behavior of multivalent counterion-driven charge inversion. We show that the interplay of multivalent counterion-induced short-range attraction and long-range electrostatic repulsion between nanoparticles results in reentrant phase behavior.

Abstract
In this paper, we have used spectroscopic and electron microscopic analysis to monitor the time evolution of the silver nanoparticles (Ag NP)-human hemoglobin (Hb) corona formation and to characterize the interaction of the Ag NPs with Hb. The time constants for surface plasmon resonance binding and reorganization are found to be 9.51 and 118.48 min, respectively. The drop of surface charge and the increase of the hydrodynamic diameter indicated the corona of Hb on the Ag NP surface. The auto correlation function is found to broaden with the increasing time of the corona formation. Surface zeta potential revealed that positively charged Hb interact electrostatically with negatively charged Ag NP surfaces. The change in α helix and β sheet depends on the corona formation time. The visualization of the Hb corona from HRTEM showed large number of Hb domains aggregate containing essentially Ag NPs and without Ag NPs. Emission study showed the tertiary deformation, energy transfer, nature of interaction and quenching under three different temperatures.

Abstract
The pH-dependent structure and interaction of anionic silica nanoparticles (diameter 18 nm) with two globular model proteins, lysozyme and bovine serum albumin (BSA), have been studied. Cationic lysozyme adsorbs strongly on the nanoparticles, and the adsorption follows exponential growth as a function of lysozyme concentration, where the saturation value increases as pH approaches the isoelectric point (IEP) of lysozyme. By contrast, irrespective of pH, anionic BSA does not show any adsorption. Despite having a different nature of interactions, both proteins render a similar phase behavior where nanoparticle-protein systems transform from being one-phase (clear) to two-phase (turbid) above a critical protein concentration (CPC). The measurements have been carried out for a fixed concentration of silica nanoparticles (1 wt %) with varying protein concentrations (0-5 wt %). The CPC is found to be much higher for BSA than for lysozyme and increases for lysozyme but decreases for BSA as pH approaches their respective IEPs. The structure and interaction in these systems have been examined using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The effective hydrodynamic size of the nanoparticles measured using DLS increases with protein concentration and is related to the aggregation of the nanoparticles above the CPC. The propensity of the nanoparticles to aggregate is suppressed for lysozyme and enhanced for BSA as pH approached their respective IEPs. This behavior is understood from SANS data through the interaction potential determined by the interplay of electrostatic repulsion with a short-range attraction for lysozyme and long-range attraction for BSA. The nanoparticle aggregation is caused by charge neutralization by the oppositely charged lysozyme and through depletion for similarly charged BSA. Lysozyme-mediated attractive interaction decreases as pH approaches the IEP because of a decrease in the charge on the protein. In the case of BSA, a decrease in the BSA-BSA repulsion enhances the depletion attraction between the nanoparticles as pH is shifted toward the IEP. The morphology of the nanoparticle aggregates is found to be mass fractal.

Abstract
The understanding of nano-bio interactions is deemed essential in the design, application, and safe handling of nanomaterials. Proper characterization of the intrinsic physicochemical properties, including their size, surface charge, shape, and functionalization, is needed to consider the fate or impact of nanomaterials in biological and environmental systems. The characterizations of their interactions with surrounding chemical species are often hindered by the complexity of biological or environmental systems, and the drastically different surface physicochemical properties among a large population of nanomaterials. The complexity of these interactions is also due to the diverse ligands of different chemical properties present in most biomacromolecules, and multiple conformations they can assume at different conditions to minimize their conformational free energy. Often these interactions are collectively determined by multiple physical or chemical forces, including electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic forces, and calls for multidimensional characterization strategies, both experimentally and computationally. Through these characterizations, the understanding of the roles surface physicochemical properties of nanomaterials and their surface interactions with biomacromolecules can play in their applications in biomedical and environmental fields can be obtained. To quantitatively decipher these physicochemical surface interactions, computational methods, including physical, statistical, and pharmacokinetic models, can be used for either analyses of large amounts of experimental characterization data, or theoretical prediction of the interactions, and consequent biological behavior in the body after administration. These computational methods include molecular dynamics simulation, structure-activity relationship models such as biological surface adsorption index, and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models.
